A multi-tier, foldable roof includes photovoltaic (PV) cells for transforming solar energy into electrical energy. The roof includes a climate layer configured to close an opening of a structure and also configured to control temperature and humidity of an interior of the structure, a PV screen having plural PV panels, each PV panel configured to include plural PV cells, and an outer layer configured to protect the PV screen from soiling. The climate layer, the PV screen and the outer layer are spaced apart from each other with a given distance (H), and each of the climate layer, the PV screen and the outer layer is configured to change from a retracted state to an expanded state.
