Solar Energy and PV Systems in Smart Cities

Abstract

A PV system on the rooftop is an easy and cost-effective way which allows consumers to independently meet a part of own electricity need. From an economic and financial perspective, consumers reduce the electricity bill and save money. These savings can be reinvested in actions aimed at the increase in energy efficiency, so triggering a worthy process of improvement. From a social perspective, consumers exploit renewable energy sources, so contributing to the environmental preservation by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions.
