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