Dataset for evaluating rooftop photovoltaic solar panels impact on urban temperature at city scale

This dataset contains simulation outputs from the WRF/BEP+BEM v4.3.3 model, evaluating the impact of rooftop photovoltaic solar panels on urban temperatures in five cities: Kolkata, Austin, Sydney, Athens, and Brussels. The model uses one parent domain and two nested domains with resolutions of 18 km, 6 km, and 2 km, focusing on the 2 km resolution. Simulations cover the summer periods of each city, including urban state variables and panel surface temperature data. The dataset represents diverse climate types: tropical wet and dry (Kolkata), Mediterranean (Athens), moderate sea (Brussels), and subtropical humid (Sydney and Austin).
