In cities where high-rise commercial developments have overtaken industry as the peak electricity consumer, sophisticated building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can offset the demand by generating electricity during daytime peak consumption. The PV HKU Research Group's related projects, in a triple strategy of Technology Assessment, Technology Application & Regulatory Framework, aims to provide the government and community with the information, experience and appropriate legislation to facilitate widespread BIPV applications, and assist compliance with the Kyoto Protocol on CO2 emissions reduction.
