This study proposes a method to facilitate an integrative design of urban typologies and roof-integrated two-stage solar concentrators (TSSCs) as energy supply solutions in 14 locations. This is achieved through a parametric model by manipulating urban typology (form factor, block height, orientation, roof shape, and slope) and TSSC geometry (type, geometric ratio, focal length-to-diameter ratio, and modules area). A large design space (8400 options) is evaluated for annual energy balance in terms of energy use (E-Use) and average load match index (av.LMI); solar potential in terms of direct normal irradiance (DNI), and daylight performance in terms of useful daylight illuminance (UDI(100-2000 lx)) and continuous daylight autonomy (cDA((500 lx))). The method is validated in illustrative cases of urban typologies with three stories (low-rise) to six stories (mid-rise) residential buildings, as abstract representations of future constructions in different K & ouml;ppen-Geiger climate-groups. In tropical and arid climates, most designs achieve high cDA((500 lx)) (>50 %) and UDI(100-2000 lx) (>80 %). In these climates and temperate climates, designs show medium E-Use (1000-3000 MWh). Most designs show medium DNI (50-100 MWh) except in Berlin and Bucharest, and low av.LMI (<0.5) except in Miami, Brasilia and Shanghai. Filtered designs show low E-Use (<1000 MWh) and high av.LMI (>1) in all, high DNI (>130 MWh) in Brasilia and Shanghai, and high cDA((500 lx)) and UDI(100-2000 lx) in tropical and arid climates. The method thus enables early-stage design exploration of urban areas employing TSSCs in multiple locations and serves as a guiding framework to design sustainable cities harnessing solar energy, and implement energy transition policies globally.
