Solar panels effect on heat island

NC-2009 SSc7.2:Heat Island Effect—Roof
posted by  Gahl Sorkin Spanier  on 

Does anyone know of any research relating to the effect of solar panels , or thermosolar collectors on heat island effect. Intuitively their effect should be positive as they absorb heat.

I am also working on a project that has a large green roof with light colored gravel in some areas. The manufacturer has not performed testing to provide an SRI value for the gravel.

We have a project where we have concrete eyebrows protruding from the building exterior. Would the area of those eyebrows count towards roof area?
