The simulation is performed twice: a) with half of the roof shaded with PV modulesmounted on a rack, and b) with no PV modules. Even though the specific device used here toprovide the shading is PV arrays, any other means would produce similar results. The dynamicthermal model of the house is implemented in TK-Solver. The simulation goes through everyhour to determine the required cooling and heating load. It takes into consideration direct anddiffuse solar irradiance. It uses the Sol-Air temperature approach to determine wall and rooftemperatures. This approach modifies the outside skin temperature depending
