Also, the paper casually mentions how rooftop solar reduces the cooling load of the building. What I didn't see acknowledged was that that extra cooling load (presumably traditional A/C) on a building without rooftop solar moves the heat out of the building into... (drum roll), the surrounding environment. So... the heat still got to the surrounding environment, it just took a longer path to get there.
