How to promote the installation of solar photovoltaic systems in Hong Kong?

To facilitate the attainment of this objective and promote the wider installation of renewable energy systems by private sector on their land and properties in Hong Kong, Lands Department (“LandsD”) has introduced facilitation measures on the installation of solar photovoltaic (“PV”) systems1 in private developments2 under lease3. 2.

What is building-integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) in Hong Kong?

The first building-integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) in Hong Kong has been working successfully for three years, as remote system for the first year and grid-connected system in the last two years. A number of issues have been investigated on the experimental system including technical, economical, operation and management topics.

What is the potential resource of photovoltaic (PV) power in Hong Kong?

The overall potential resource of photovoltaic (PV) power is estimated to be around 16% of the 2002 annual electricity consumption in Hong Kong. Non-BIPV system. 1) which is a high rise government office building located in congested urban area. The installation works commenced in late April 2002 and completed in end 2002.

What is a roof PV system in Hong Kong?

Roof PV systems in Hong Kong typically utilize monocrystalline silicon PV modules, known for their high efficiency, stable performance, and aesthetic appeal. The STP260S model (1640 mm × 992 mm), a commonly used monocrystalline silicon module, serves as an example in this study.

What is the PV capacity for Hong Kong's roofs & facades?

Assessed PV capacity for Hong Kong's roofs and facades using a bottom-up approach. Analyzed PV potential and variations across 180,349 buildings in Hong Kong. Installed PV capacities: 1.27 GW for roofs, 12.75 GW for facades in Hong Kong. Discussed technology and policy recommendations for enhancing urban PV integration.

What are the opportunities for PV technology in Hong Kong?

The opportunities for PV technology in Hong Kong, however, extend well beyond BIPV. Innovative applications such as floating PV systems make use of water bodies, avoiding the land constraints of a densely populated city. These systems can reduce water evaporation and improve panel efficiency through the cooling effect of the water.
