Photovoltaic systems in Hong Kong can be classified into two main types - stand-alone systems and grid-connected systems. These can further be divided into ordinary photovoltaic systems and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems.
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.
In dense urban areas like Hong Kong, where buildings significantly contribute to electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the development of cost-effective Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is pivotal .
These innovative applications of PV technology present an opportunity to broaden the scope of solar energy generation in Hong Kong. As the city explores ways to diversify its energy sources, the integration of PV technology across various sectors offers a strategic pathway to augment the city's renewable energy matrix.
