Western Plaza solar

Goodman installs one of Hong Kong’s largest solar rooftop arrays at Western Plaza.

When Goodman took possession of its Western Plaza development - strategically located between the airport and the border to mainland China - it decided to install solar on the property, despite the challenges involved.

The challenge

The biggest challenge was neither getting permission for the panels (both customers said yes), nor hoisting the 500 hundred plus panels onto the roof. It was managing the hoisting work with minimal disturbance to the customers’ 24/7 operations. Furthermore, getting the concrete in place to secure the panels on the roof without impacting its waterproofing, and ensuring the panels would stay put during the high winds of Hong Kong’s typhoon season was an engineering feat.
