"Clearly, Macau has a tremendous potential for developing solar energy, especially a grid-connected photovoltaic system. Its small and densely populated area, however, makes it unsuitable for large-scale solar-power plants, and Macau has therefore chosen roof-top solar technology as the most effective way to utilize solar energy."

Zhang believes the best way forward is for Macao to develop its own renewable energy sources. The city might lack the right conditions for building wind turbines for hydropower plants, he says, but it has the foundation in place to develop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, which convert sunlight directly into electricity.
As of March 2024, Macau has 9 solar PV systems connected to the network, with a total installed capacity of 3,223 kWp, producing over four million kWh of green energy. It is anticipated that larger photovoltaic systems will be developed in the
The Macao government also sees an opportunity to increase solar energy. To encourage the installation of PV systems, officials passed a set of safety and installation regulations in 2015.
Song and colleagues have no doubts: “Macau has some of the richest solar resources in the world” (with average annual sunlight time exceeding 1000 h, providing about 5000 MJ/m 2 ). “Clearly, Macau has a tremendous potential for developing solar energy, especially a grid-connected photovoltaic system.
The regulations require investors to enter into a 20-year contract for the purchase of photovoltaic energy with Macao’s sole energy service provider, Companhia de Electricidade de Macau (CEM). Essentially CEM will purchase the electricity produced to ensure investors profit within a reasonable period.
The solar system that Sun Bright Solar installed is working perfectly and has already started to make a significant impact on our energy bills. I highly recommend Sun Bright Solar to anyone looking for a quality solar system and great customer service. Thank you, Sun Bright Solar, for your excellent work and great service!
“In our view, as external observers, offshore wind energy in Macau’s territorial waters makes sense, as does the development of distributed generation of photovoltaic energy. Macau has a lot of sun and many roofs. There is a potential to develop this vector in the medium-to-long term.”
As a commercial hub, Macao faces the same challenge. Energy consumption from electricity, transport and buildings accounts for nearly 90 per cent of Macao’s carbon emissions directly caused by fossil fuels. With climate change posing grave threats to the future of society, city leaders say they have made reducing emissions a priority.
