Kosori ć, V., Lau, S.K., Tablada, A., & Lau, S.Y. (2018). General model of photovoltaic (PV) integration . Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032118301825 Annotated Summary: In this article, Kosori ć, Lau, Tablada, and Lau (2018) showcase a general model of photovoltaic (PV) integration applied onto a 12 storey HDB slab block in Clementi, Singapore. A clear analysis of its challenges and benefits were also evaluated. This model of integration allows early detection of potential problems which aids in proper planning. It also assists in evaluating and optimizing PV integration into the buildings to get the best results. In addition, the safety of PV systems is ensured by mandating a license whenever necessary. This model further confirms the importance of techno-economic and the functional-aesthetic aspect of a PV integrated building. The article highlighted that the optimal solution to a PV integrated building does
