This article provides general information on installing solar photovoltaic (PV) system at your premises, connecting it to the grid and receiving FiT payment. What are the major hardware components of a solar PV system?
This study is to identify and compare the working performance of commercially available solar PV panel types under Hong Kong weather conditions. The objectives of this study are to identify suitable PV technologies for wide applications in Hong Kong to provide a reference for the public for selection of right solar PV panels.
Since then, the grid connection arrangement of the two power companies in Hong Kong, local codes and rules, international standards on gird connection, PV systems and power quality
Currently the largest solar energy generation system in Hong Kong has been installed at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. This system has a capacity of 3,050 kW, comprised over 7500 monocrystalline solar panels at mainly rooftop of over 40 buildings at the Resort. It is expected to generate over 3,300,000 kWh annually. (2) Wind energy. The first
The system is expected to generate up to 3 million units (kWh) of electricity each year - equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 900 three-member households in Hong Kong, and reduce 1.5 million kg of carbon emission per annum over a 25 year period.
Since then, the grid connection arrangement of the two power companies in Hong Kong, local codes and rules, international standards on gird connection, PV systems and power quality have been amended. This edition of the Technical Guidelines on Grid Connection of Small-scale Renewable Energy Power Systems
tropical cities. For BIPV systems in Hong Kong situation, it is believed that AC grid-connected is the best choice because of several unique geographical, economical and social characteristics of Hong Kong. A brief schematic diagram on the concept of these grid-connected BIPV systems is illustrated in Figure 1.

The first building-integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) in Hong Kong has been working successfully for three years, as remote system for the first year and grid-connected system in the last two years. A number of issues have been investigated on the experimental system including technical, economical, operation and management topics.

Using the grid-connected PV system, the annual average emissions of CO 2, SO 2, NO x, and particulates could be reduced by 771, 1.12, 1.03 and 0.054 kg, respectively. In Hong Kong, most electricity is expended by building stocks [17]. The environmental benefits would be significant if PV systems were widely used in Hong Kong.
A study of the operational performance and efficiency characteristic for a small grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system was conducted. The analysis was based on 2 years measured data made in Hong Kong from 2008 to 2009. The hourly solar radiation, output energy and the corresponding efficiency in June and December were examined.

For grid-connected systems, one of the obstacles for its use in Hong Kong is the monopoly control of the local utility grid by two power companies. Under the existing scheme of control agreement, connection to grid would require the consent of the power companies.
Solar energy can be used to produce hot water or directly transform into electrical power. The systems related to solar energy application include solar thermal systems (solar water heating, solar refrigeration) and photovoltaic (PV) system. Early application of solar energy in Hong Kong is mainly used for water heating.
This system has a capacity of 3,050 kW, comprised over 7500 monocrystalline solar panels at mainly rooftop of over 40 buildings at the Resort. It is expected to generate over 3,300,000 kWh annually. The first wind/solar hybrid system in Hong Kong was installed at the Shek Kwu Chau Drug Rehabilitation Centre.
