Rooftop solar photovoltaics involve laying photovoltaic solar panels on rooftops without utilizing additional land resources. This not only enhances land utilization but also effectively supports urban electricity consumption.
(2) and (3) In the past three years up to the end of August this year, there was no case involving fallen solar PV panels in the TPS estates. As for other buildings, the BD does not have readily available statistics on the number of cases of non-compliance with the BO and its subsidiary legislation involving fallen solar PV panels.
Regarding the seven cases involving fallen solar PV panels in private buildings during the onslaught of a super typhoon in September, two of the cases involved unauthorised building works and the BD would issue removal orders to the owners concerned to order the removal of the relevant supporting structures for solar PV panels.
However, rooftop solar increases the value at risk compared to ground mounted systems (see Figure 1). PV panels can cause property damage and in commercial buildings, can result in business interruption. Swiss Re constantly tracks the shifting risk landscape of energy transition, as detailed on our Renewable Energy Risks page.
In response to the earlier incidents involving fallen solar PV panels during the onslaught of the super typhoon, the BD will step up publicity on the technical guidelines and points to note for the
