Abstract
In the 21st century, as human society continues to evolve and urbanization progresses worldwide, the mounting demand for urban energy solutions has become a pressing concern. However, the current landscape of power generation remains heavily reliant on traditional, non-renewable energy sources. The extensive exploitation of fossil fuels has given rise to severe environmental pollution, a concerning climate crisis, energy shortages, and other complex challenges. This predicament not only demands immediate global attention but also poses a significant long-term threat to future generations. Against the backdrop of an inevitable shift in energy structures, green energy has emerged as a focal point of global interest. Within the realm of sustainable energy alternatives, water and wind power are contingent on specific natural conditions and geographical factors, which may not always align with the needs of urban development. In this context, solar energy stands out as a prime candidate for urban development, as it merely requires available rooftops and access to sunlight. Solar energy, characterized by its inexhaustible potential and zero emissions, remains a compelling choice for sustainable energy generation. However, it grapples with the challenge of energy dispersion, meaning that energy cannot always be concentrated effectively at a single point.
