Abstract

The roofs of residential buildings represent a relevant potential for the construction of photovoltaic panels. Given that roof structures are passive, the construction of photovoltaic systems on residential buildings does not interfere with the functionality of the building, nor do they affect the environment in any other way. By installing photovoltaic systems on the roofs of residential buildings, the production and consumption of electricity are brought closer to the maximum possible extent, so such systems ensure a significant reduction of electricity losses in the distribution and transmission network. This paper presents the results of research aimed at establishing a framework for decentralized and decarbonized production of electricity from photovoltaic systems integrated into the roofs of residential buildings in Serbia, through the support of the prosumer approach. For each defined category of residential building in Serbia, the possible annual production of electricity per unit of average roof area was estimated. Summarizing all the results, assessments of the possible installed capacity of photovoltaic systems and annual electricity production at the national level were made.
