Advancing towards zero emissions: Integrating floating
The predominant method of harnessing solar energy for electricity generation is through photovoltaic (PV) systems. PV represents one of the renewable energy solutions that can
4 FAQs about Reservoir solar power generation system
Can floating solar PV systems be deployed at reservoirs?
PUB started studying the feasibility of deploying floating solar PV systems at reservoirs in 2011 to assess their solar potential and possible environmental impacts.
Will a large-scale floating solar PV system affect Tengeh Reservoir's water quality?
The results showed that deploying a large-scale floating solar PV system would have minimal impact on the reservoir's water quality, flora and fauna, with appropriate planning and design. Hence, PUB decided to build a large-scale 60MWp floating solar PV system on Tengeh Reservoir.
Why should you install solar panels over a reservoir surface?
Apart from harvesting renewable energy from the sun, there are additional benefits of installing such systems over the reservoir surface, which include reducing water evaporation, suppressing algae growth, saving precious land resources and yielding a higher solar panel power generation efficiency.
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.
