System Location:
Platform 2, Hin Keng Station
System Completion Date:
May 2022
Technology introduction:
Three pieces of solar glasses are installed at Hin Keng Station as a trial to demonstrate the utilisation of station vertical façade for the generation of renewable energy. With their glass-like appearance, the solar glass blend completely into the station design by serving as facades which allows sunlight penetration, optimising the use of natural lighting. The solar glass generates electricity from sunlight, through the nano Cadmium Telluride photovoltaic cells that are laminated within the modules. The system supports the nearby ceiling fans so as to improve passenger comfort at the platform.
