With global warming causing rapid increase in global temperature and an annual surge of 25-40% in electricity fees, Green Future thinks that it is time to strive for carbon neutrality in Hong Kong in a bid to combat this wider issue, Meanwhile, we also notice the way local sunset industries have been more vigorously urged to cease operation in recent years, not to mention the toll which the upcoming bills hike may further take on these businesses.

In light of this situation, our team at Green Future - which has extensive technical knowledge and working experience in the renewable sector - has figured out the ideal solution to all these problems - Agrivoltaics. By designing and installing agrivoltaics in Hong Kong’s farmland, we could enable simultaneous use of the land for both photovoltaic power generation and agricultural purposes; while the environment could be preserved through the generation of green energy, farmers’ businesses could also benefit from the extra source of income and the increase in their crop yield.

Our early study shows that with optimal spacing, temperature, and humidity level, not only would the system not impair crop growth, but it can even increase yield. We are excited to see more tremendous results from some of our early adopters as we continue to expand our network of partners to other jurisdictions.
