“…As expected, compared with conventional green roofs, the green roofs with integrated PV modules are less effective in reducing stormwater runoff and peak flow. This has been lately demonstrated by scholars in Canada who reported that during small and medium rainfalls, a portion of rainwater is intercepted by the PV panel surface and concentrated into a narrow strip of the green roof along the panel dripline …”

“…In detail, while in the case of large rainfalls, the difference between the conventional green roof and the solar green roof in terms of rainwater retention was minimal, the solar green roofs produced discharge with rainfalls in excess of 3 mm (Figure ), whereas in the conventional green roof, discharge rarely occurred from events with less than 11 mm of rainfall …”

“…whereas in the conventional green roof, discharge rarely occurred from events with less than 11 mm of rainfall. [20] In principle, the combination of green roofs with PV modules should result in the higher production of clean electricity due to the cooling effect of the vegetation especially during summer's hottest days when the surface temperature of a green roof rarely exceeds 30-35 C.…”

Solar green roofs, namely, rooftops functionalized with properly selected living vegetation and photovoltaic modules, achieve an ideal symbiotic relationship in which the promotion of biodiversity and onsite renewable energy production are enhanced, while the roof provides a range of environmental, health, aesthetic, and economic benefits. This study provides a unified outlook of this important sustainability technology before its large‐scale uptake across the world, especially in polluted urban areas.

This review summarizes over 280 studies published in 2019 related to the characterization, control, and management of urban stormwater runoff. A summary of quantity and quality concerns is provided in the first section of the review, serving as the foundation for the following sections which focus on the control and treatment of stormwater runoff. Finally, the impact of stormwater control devices at the watershed scale is discussed. Each section provides a self-contained overview of the 2019 literature, common themes, and future work. Several themes emerged from the 2019 literature including exploration of substrate amendments for improved water quality effluent from stormwater controls, the continued study of the role of vegetation in green infrastructure practices, and a call to action for the development of new models which generate reliable, computationally efficient results under the physical, chemical, biological, and social complexity of stormwater management. © 2020 Water Environment Federation • Practitioner points • Over 280 studies were published in 2019 related to the characterization, control, and treatment of urban stormwater. • Studies on bioretention and general stormwater characteristics represented the two most common subtopics in 2019. • Trends in 2019 included novel substrate amendments, studies on the role of vegetation, and advancements in computational models.
