[TRNSYS-users] PV Panels increase roof temperature ?

Dear community,

I'm wondering if the roof of the building I'm modelling is 70% covered of
PV panels increases roof's temperature,

Let's assume 20% of solar energy is converted to electricity, the remaining
80% is thermal energy stored in the PV panels as heat and transmitted to
the roof and the sky, thus increasing roof's temperature compared to a low
absorption roof coating (cool roof without
PV panels) ? am I getting this wrong ?

Thank you!
