Researchers from the University of Exeter have evaluated the potential of floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems on Hong Kong's reservoirs, which could generate up to 4.8 TWh annually, meeting 36.5% of the city's residential electricity needs. With full coverage, FPV could supply 7.72 TWh, sufficient for 490,000 households, while also producing significant quantities of hydrogen for transport. The study indicates that FPV systems have a levelized cost of electricity of $0.037/kWh, highlighting their feasibility for hydrogen integration.
