Photovoltaic System Design and Analysis: An On-Grid Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of on-grid photovoltaic (PV) system design, focusing on the context of Hong Kong. It begins with an introduction to solar energy, PV technology, and different PV classifications, including thin film and wafer-based modules, along with various mounting methods and BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems. The report delves into the balance of systems, estimated energy yield, and monthly and annual radiation measurements. It then explores solar energy applications in Hong Kong, different PV panel types (monocrystalline and polycrystalline), and relevant energy policies. The methodology section outlines the on-grid PV system design, including types, functions, and schematic diagrams, along with the selection of PV cells and ethical considerations. Data collection and analysis cover energy usage and financial justification. The report concludes with a summary of findings and potential future works, providing a detailed overview of the design and implementation of an on-grid photovoltaic system.
