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 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.

Can Floating photovoltaic systems be used in Hong Kong's reservoirs?

In response, to promote the development of renewable energy, the Water Supplies Department (WSD) has undertaken studies and three pilot trials of floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems on the surfaces of Hong Kong’s reservoirs.

Can PV technology be implemented on building surfaces in Hong Kong?

Given the high building floor area ratio in Hong Kong, the city holds significant prospects for implementing PV technology on building surfaces. The technical potential, combining roof and facade feasible installations, is approximately 5.68 × 10 12 –7.31 × 10 12 Wh.

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.

How many crystalline silicon PV modules can be installed in Hong Kong?

Our analysis estimates that around 4.90 million crystalline silicon PV modules can be installed on Hong Kong's roofs, translating to an installed capacity of 1.27 GW. Additionally, the potential for thin-film PV modules on facades is significant, with approximately 117.7 million modules contributing to an installed capacity of 12.72 GW.
