Our Solar Roof Panels in Discovery Bay, Hong Kong

 

Our place, Siena One, Discovery Bay, Hong Kong
Plenty of solar opportunity, including making money off 
installing rooftop solar, because the government pays you to do it

By my calculation, investment in rooftop solar returns about 15% IRR, based on guaranteed government Feed in Tariffs. 
UPDATE (1/9/22): we’ve had our first cheques and return is running at 25%. 

ADDED: getting lots of feedback by Gmail and WhatsApp, on this, for which thanks to all. 

By the way -- and completely OT -- I’d be quite happy to have a nuclear power station, like the one at Daya Bay, next door! Say, on Lamma Island to replace the ugly gas-fired station that’s already there.

Result: no new despoiling of the country, but a reduction of carbon emissions to zero. Not that it will ever happen. But it should. By logic. Daya Bay nuclear station is pretty! I’ve visited it, just 30 miles north-east of us. I’ve never forgotten the visit; it was hugely impressive.

Our bureaucrats are too conservative! Too bureaucratic...
