- To sum up, the deployment of solar panels is good both for producing energy (and hence contributing to a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions)
- and for decreasing the UHI, especially in summer, when it can be a threat to health.
- In future climate conditions, solar panels would also help to decrease the demand of air-conditioning.

- Simulations showed no benefit (but also no disadvantage) of the PV covered roof for the annual heating load,
- but a 5.9 kWh m−2 (or 38%) reduction in annual cooling load.

- Dominguez et al. (2011) showed that in San Diego, California, solar photovoltaic panels that partially cover building rooftops
- can reduce not only greenhouse gas emissions but also the annual cooling load.
- Salamanca et al. (2016) found that solar photovoltaic panels could lower the 2-m temperature over Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona.
- Ma et al. (2017) found that solar photovoltaic panels might reduce summer maximum temperatures in Sydney.
- In a study that corroborates these findings, Taha (2013) demonstrated that a vast solar panel deployment across the Los Angeles area has a cooling effect of up to 0.2 °C.

- Large-scale deployment of solar PV arrays has no adverse impact on the atmosphere.
- At solar conversion efficiency of 20% or higher, PV arrays can cool the air.
- Very high-density deployment of PV can cause some warming but also larger cooling.
- Increasing roof albedo by 0.05 and PV efficiency from 10% to 20% are equivalent.

- Average annual reduction in the roof and ceiling temperatures for different cities are in the range 6.05–10.96 °C and 3.94–7.15 °C,
- respectively. Annual cooling load reduced by 70.33–94.37%.
- Although PV panels shading shows negative impact during the winter season by increasing the heating load of building in all the climatic zones,
- the overall thermal load of building may reduce up to 22.76–74.07%.
- Furthermore, the overall energy-saving efficiency index varies from 21.27 to 25.12%, with maximum efficiency observed for Jodhpur city followed by Raipur.
