Abstract
Solar pavement has emerged as an innovative form of building-integrated photovoltaics.
Reliability analysis and reliability-based optimal design for solar pavement are infrequent. This
research represents the pioneering investigation into the optimal reconfiguration design for solar
pavements, considering the interchangeability of solar floor tiles amidst competing risks. A
Genetic Algorithm with Munkres Assignment Tuning is proposed to initially determine the
Pareto optimality of the reconfiguration design and subsequently enhance the systems reliability
through minor adjustments. A comprehensive case study for solar floor tiles with
total-cross-tied topology is presented to showcase the main idea. © 2025 The Author(s)
