PV Systems integrated into the Urban Environment to reduce Heat Islands harms Public Health

Abstract

This research focuses on the applications of photovoltaic cells that can be integrated into the urban environment, whether at the level of buildings or open spaces, to generate clean energy and help combat the negative effects of high temperatures on public health in urban cities. The research methodology includes a theoretical study on the issue of heat islands and how to address them with photovoltaic cell applications available on the market. The study was also supported by presenting various applied examples of international companies in this field and then explaining the impact of photovoltaic cell applications on public health. The research concluded the importance of photovoltaic cell applications in reducing heat islands, reducing harmful carbon emissions, providing clean and cheap energy, and providing a healthy environment in cities. that enhance human activity, improve the psychological state and mood of residents, and reduce diseases. The research then presented a set of recommendations to expand the use of photovoltaic cell applications in the urban environment, whether at the level of buildings or open spaces.
