Abstract

The issue of using new and renewable energies, especially solar photovoltaic energy, has emerged on the global scene as one of the strategies to meet future global and local energy needs, due to its many advantages, including that it does not require fuel and does not create any pollutants, and can be used in both large and small applications, and can be integrated into urban formation with an aesthetic appearance without the need for large spaces. Urban spaces are also considered one of the most important elements of urban formation in cities, as their importance lies in human communication and practicing activities that cannot be practiced within the residential unit. Urban spaces can represent a great value for energy production if they are exploited by integrating photovoltaic systems on a large scale. The good design of these systems can also contribute to improving the functionality and visual image of the space, and increasing individuals’ awareness of these technologies, which results in their social acceptance, which is one of the most important requirements for their successful application in public spaces.
