Hello,
If a roof totally covered with Solar Panels, then how to calculate SRI value of that roof? Is there any method to calculate the SR value of Solar Panels?

Hi Shameen,
Roof area covered by solar panels is exempt from the requirements, meaning that you would not include that SF in your calculations. If the roof is truly covered 100% by the panels, then you would likely leave the roofing portion of the Credit Form blank, since it's entirely exempt. In LEED v3, this would have meant that your project was not eligible for the credit at all, since the roof aspects was formerly a separate credit from the site elements. In v4, however, they are combined; credit compliance would therefore now fall to your site elements only.
