Urban Solar Photovoltaic Technologies

The Hong Kong government has set an ambitious goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. A critical strategy in its overall planning is to increase the deployment of renewable solar energy. In this talk, the speaker will discuss how we can rely on technological innovation to tackle this grand challenge; particularly, we have identified a new generation of printable, flexible, transparent, and color-tunable solar cells as the most prominent photovoltaic technology to promote solar energy deployment in Hong Kong. Such a new solar cell technology can be integrated as tinted solar windows, façades, or curtains with buildings to generate significantly more solar electricity in an urban city, which usually has limited lands and rooftops for installing conventional silicon solar panels.
