Abstract: Photovoltaic solar energy is promising in Brazil, with projected growth in installations in the coming years. This study aims to assess the architectural integration of PV systems on residential roofs across various locations, aiming to convert them into Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB). Initially, data was gathered, including climate information, user profiles, and building characteristics. Subsequently, data on electricity, gas, and fuel consumption was collected. The third step involved the analysis and pre-sizing of PV system integration on the roofs. Finally, the performance of the PV systems was evaluated through simulation. Residence A achieved the highest production and met the consumption demand. Residence B, with twelve proposed modules, did not meet consumption demand and had the lowest performance among the systems. Residence C, using modules on different roofs, met consumption and had the highest surplus generation. The stages in this study provide insights for integrating PV systems into residential buildings.
