What is the role of photovoltaic systems in sustainable architecture?

Photovoltaic systems play a vital role in sustainable architecture by providing a clean and renewable source of energy. These systems convert sunlight directly into electricity, which can be used to power homes, buildings, and other structures. Through the use of solar panels and other components, photovoltaic systems can reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and help to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. Additionally, photovoltaic systems can often be integrated into the design of buildings, creating a seamless and attractive way to generate electricity. By incorporating solar energy into their designs, architects and builders can create more sustainable buildings that are both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
