Climate Change Implications for Optimal Sizing of Residential Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Systems in Qatar حسب Muhammad Imran Khan (614396)

"…Techno-economic optimization in HOMER Pro (version 3.10) verifies a grid-connected rooftop PV system as optimal in all years, with capacity expanding from 7.4 kW to 8.2 kW between 2002 and 2100 to meet rising air conditioning loads. However, as temperatures increase, PV’s energy contribution declines slightly from 18% to 16% due to climate change degrading solar yields. …"
