Solar Absorptance (SA) is the fraction of the total incident solar radiation that is absorbed by the roofing material, with the remainder being reflected. SA is expressed as a ratio between 0 and 1. A roof with a lower SA will absorb less heat, compared to a roof with a higher SA, which will help in keeping the roof space and the building cooler.

Solar panels operate best at temperatures between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F), but their efficiency decreases as the temperature rises above 25°C. It is generally understood (as myth) that the hotter it gets, the better the performance and production of solar panels will be. However, the truth is exactly the opposite. In other words, the excessive heat …
