Background:
Solar energy PV is a great gig in the renewable energy source to open a new horizon in this
technological transitional era of recyclable and renewable sources of energy. According to the
International Energy Agency, the demand for photovoltaic energy sources is enhanced up to 75%
to remove the utilization of non-renewable energy sources like coal, petroleum, and others
(Borenstein, 2017). PV energy or the rays of solar absorbed poll silicon is too costly to use it for
domestic purpose, excluding some corners of the United States. The best hype about the
installation of solar energy based PV is the solar coaster, which is manufactured by only five
production houses, from U.S and China (Sun et al., 2018).
The body of the report:
Overall renewable goal:
In Australia, the overall renewable energy goal is to produce energy in such an infinite level that
must exceed the energy demand of Australian people. Fulfillment of such a goal also helps the
entire world to fulfill all the energy-related demands at a low price. It is also announced by
International energy agency that, in 2022, the energy consumption level consumption related cost
will be dropped at the 2.5% level.
Personal home renewable goal:
The personal home renewable goal of Australia demands that, at the end of 2022, each home of
Australia will generate sufficient solar energy through this photovoltaic energy sources that,
Australia will be the source of renewable energy for the entire world when each house can
generate the 40GW energy every day (Kalogirou, 2017). .
Public opinion about residential solar:
After making a thorough interview of all the village dwellers of Australia, it is found to be
present that, most of the people are till now not aware of their utilization of residential solar
system and advantages. On the other hand, some educated and progressive people are
enthusiastic about it where they are conscious of its prospects. Awareness campaigning is a
necessary one to provide a bright idea to all of the people about the utilization, advantages,
earning, and population reduction related advantages of this solar PV installation systems.

The federal government of U.S is also very much cautious about the utilization and infrastructure
maintenance of the photovoltaic energy-related activities.
Savings in power bill:
A renewable energy source, solar PV is not only an environmental one but also a source of
income also. In a small investment, in this system people can easily convert their roof into a solar
power plant. As a result, it will help them to save in power bill and to distribute this energy to
other sources to earn some also.
Impact of PV systems on society:
Solar PV has a significant impact on the society, and when the solar PV is manufactured at every
house in the country, it will be more significant. Most of the impactful thing is the removal of the
air pollution level. As in the solar panel system, the coal or other non-renewable fossil fuel
related emission level will be null, so environmental pollution will also be reduced. People can
save their electricity-related bills. On the other hand, when people utilize their roof as the solar
power plant, it will be a source of also earning (Zawadzki, 2018).
Solar PV Rooftop technology:
Rooftop solar PV system and its grid system management:
In the solar rooftop PV system, its interface has to be connected with the grid system and all the
solar PV oriented electric energy become collected onto the grid (Abushnaf, & Rassau, 2018).
That is why power cut in a particular area may create power cut situated to the all PV energized
area at a time. It will create a loss of energy wastage (McKenna et al., 2018).
Peak and off-peak demand in the daylight and its relation with daylight:
In the aspect of rooftop PV system, the solar panel is very much related to the daylight saving
time (DST). It will help the solar panel to save sunlight for the evening, and in turn, it saves lots
of electric consumption in the summer times. DST is a very central adjustment system which
makes the solar panel clock one hour ago to save electricity consumption in the peak demand
period. So, DST has a vital role to save electricity consumption. In this way, along with the DST
system, PV helps to reduce the electricity consumption in the morning time and enhances in the
evening or off-peak period (Fan & Xia, 2017).

Voltage spike has a tremendous negative impact on solar PV installation. Due to those voltage
spikes, solar PV will not be able to generate energy as expected and it does not act in a
compatible level with the inverter. As a result, there will be mismanagement among all the sets
of the solar panel system. Voltage spikes mostly occur due to area-based connectivity problems,
power cut problems, groundwater level fluctuation and many other reasons (Kumar et al., 2018).
Massive uptake in solar creates a significant impetus upon the grid. As a result, energy wastage
occurs.
Residential energy storage:
Residential energy storage means the conservation of solar power derived energy to use it for
household purposes in a low cost and even in the situation of power cut also (Raugei et al.,
2017).
All of the household users, or residential users, solve their issues by improving the voltage spike
problems, water problem along with governmental policies.
Commercially available solar panels become improved with customized computerized systems.
Nowadays, more efficient inverters are also available to enhance the compatibility level and the
result also.
Analysis of the report:
After the entire discussion in the report on the solar panels rooftop PV, it can be analyzed that,
this PV is sufficient to meet renewable energy sources through utilizing the solar ray. It helps
residential users through minimizing their electric consumption rate. It is also supported by the
Governmental policies because, at present, financial assistance is provided by most of the
country governments to implement a rooftop PV. It will energize the country as a producer of
energy. Above all, it is directly related to national income a country also (Rathore et al., 2018).
In the aspect of grids, it can be analyzed that, the grid has a significant impact on the power
allocation system in the entire area. Some issues are also detected here like voltage spike issues,
water issues, shadow issues, and others. Proper installation of roof PV can help the owners of
rooftop PV to mitigate all of those issues. In the U.S, there is the right orientation of
Governmental policies to support the installation program. To support the entire initiatives,

Government has opened the access of financial assistance; awareness campaigning’s to enhance
the people know to use their rooftops as a solar panel.
From this entire discussion, it can be quickly concluded that solar panel rooftop PPV emerges a
new horizon to offer a transitional shift of paradigm to the world. It will make the world
energized, economically nourished and environmentally safe and healthy by reducing the
pollution level.
