Can photovoltaic solar panels be installed in Hong Kong?

“Due to the high land price in Hong Kong, it is impossible to mount photovoltaic solar panels on the ground as in mainland China,” says Professor Yang Hong-xing from the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering of PolyU, who has been conducting research on renewable energy applications for more than 30 years.

What is a solar photovoltaic system?

Solar Photovoltaic panels are deployed on the roof the Lee Shau Kee Building of PolyU. The 22kWp photovoltaic power system generates around 24,000 kWh of electricity every year and reduces about 17 tonnes of carbon emissions with remarkable achievement in energy saving

Is Hong Kong a good place for solar energy?

Hong Kong's abundant solar energy and rooftop capacity are ideal for solar photovoltaic energy generation, a PolyU study has found. [Sponsored Article] Hong Kong's abundant solar energy and rooftop capacity are ideal for solar photovoltaic energy generation, a PolyU study has found.

Why is Hong Kong a pioneer of solar energy application?

The Pioneer of Solar Energy Application – Building Integrated Photovoltaics In Hong Kong, buildings account for over 90% of electricity usage, creating over 60% of the city's carbon emissions.

How much does solar energy cost in Hong Kong?

The potential annual solar energy output can reach 4,674 Gwh, or 10.7% of Hong Kong's energy consumption. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by three million tonnes. The cost of purchasing and installing sufficient PV systems will amount to HK$30 billion. This may sound expensive, but it will only take around two to three years to pay back.

How many rooftops are suitable for PV panels in Hong Kong?

Using high-resolution airborne laser scanning data and geographical information systems data to map the available rooftop area in Hong Kong, researchers also found that out of the 309,000 buildings, 233,000 are suitable for installing PV panels with a total area of 39 km 2.
