Analysis of the Photovoltaic Systems Construction Capacities and Conditions on the Preschool Buildings Roofs in Serbia

Preschool buildings represent a relevant potential for construction of photovoltaic panels, to be integrated into roofs of these buildings. Given that roof structures are passive, construction of photovoltaic systems does not interfere with the building functionality, does not it in any way adversely affect the environment. Installation of photovoltaic systems on building roofs brings the production and consumption of electricity closest possible, therefore such systems ensure significant reduction in power losses in transmission and distribution grids. In addition to locally produced electricity, construction of photovoltaic systems on the preschool buildings’ roofs produces an educational effect as well. This paper presents the results of evaluations of the available roof surfaces of preschool buildings in Serbia for the photovoltaic panels installation. For each category of preschool building, an estimate of possible annual production per unit of average roof area was made. Summarizing all the results, estimates of possible installed capacity and annual electricity production for different scenarios are given.
