The study simulated retrofitting residential villas in Al Qarayen 1, Sharjah, UAE, with monocrystalline PV systems. It involved 145 small villas (350 m2), 100 large villas (600 m2), and 5 royal villas (1000 m2). Six scenarios were tested for on-grid and off-grid applications, revealing a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 65% decrease in energy costs. Key barriers included high temperatures, dust, and inadequate grid infrastructure. The findings suggest pathways for increasing PV adoption in residential areas.

摘要

The study simulated retrofitting residential villas in Al Qarayen 1, Sharjah, UAE, with monocrystalline PV systems. It involved 145 small villas (350 m2), 100 large villas (600 m2), and 5 royal villas (1000 m2). Six scenarios were tested for on-grid and off-grid applications, revealing a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 65% decrease in energy costs. Key barriers included high temperatures, dust, and inadequate grid infrastructure. The findings suggest pathways for increasing PV adoption in residential areas.
