HK GOLF COURSE ROLLS-OUT SOLAR POWERED CARTS

The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course in Hong Kong has introduced the world’s first fleet of solar-powered golf carts, which are expected to cut carbon emissions by about 30 tonnes
per year.

Channel NewsAsia reported that solar-cell roof panels, fitted to 205 carts, capture and convert sunlight into energy. The club estimates the new carts will save it more than US$50,000 per year.
In addition, the course is planning to bring customers to the venue on solar hybrid powered Ferries, the report added.
