Technical Visit to Photovoltaic Farms in Haiyan Town
Organized by PES, IET Hong Kong
About
Join us for a technical visit to Haiyan Town, Taishan, a showcase of sustainable development within the Greater Bay Area. The visit will feature one of the region's largest fishery photovoltaic (PV) projects, where solar generation, energy storage and aquaculture are combined to achieve efficient land use and reliable clean energy production.
Participants will explore Haiyan Town's innovative Solar-Storage-Charging development model and gain insight into how renewable energy technologies support decarbonization and long-term community development. The programme will also include a visit to the Haiyan Overseas Chinese Farm Wetland Park, highlighting the integration of wetland conservation, sustainable agriculture and environmental education.
Through site visits and guided sharing sessions, attendees will develop a better understanding of renewable energy infrastructure, ecological conservation and sustainable practices that are driving the transition towards a greener future.

Reasons to attend
Haiyan Town is located in Taishan, Jiangmen which is along the southwestern coast of Guangdong Province. It is a charming destination with rich cultural heritage, coastal beauty, and a laid-back lifestyle. Known for its deep connections to overseas Chinese communities, Haiyan offers a peaceful retreat from busting city life.
Haiyan maintains a slow-paced, traditional lifestyle, with fishing and farming still vital to its economy. Home to the Great Bay Area’s largest fishery photovoltaic (PV) projects, spanning 7,900 acres, the town is a beacon of sustainability. Haiyan Town’s pioneering “photovoltaic plus” model integrates renewable energy and smart storage, providing a stable, 24-hour green power supply. This innovative approach has made the town a model for eco-friendly communities.
Haiyan Overseas Farm Wetland Park, located in Hongfa Village, Haiyan, is a stunning ecological haven that combines agriculture, nature, and recreation. The park was established to promote environmental awareness and sustainable farming practices, uniquely integrating wetlands, farmland, and scenic landscapes.
