摘要

Global climate change is an urgent environmental challenge demanding solutions that address both greenhouse gas emissions and local temperature regulation. In this study, we utilize a numerical simulation approach to investigate how novel photovoltaic (PV) materials with selective transmission and reflection capabilities can simultaneously lower surface temperatures and reduce CO2 emissions. By conducting a parametric analysis that varies coverage ratios, reflectivity, and climate sensitivity, we quantify the potential for local cooling and emission reductions under different deployment scenarios. Results indicate that large-scale adoption of these advanced PV systems can substantially mitigate heat buildup while decreasing CO2 levels, thereby highlighting the dual climate benefits of solar radiation reflection and clean energy generation. This work underscores the importance of optimizing both thermal and carbon footprints in future PV installations to effectively contribute to global warming mitigation.
