Investigating the feasibility of Solar Panels in the School : 

Investigating the feasibility of Solar Panels in the School Group 11 Jake Chan, Annette Chau, Royston Godfrey Lisa Ji, Jersey Poon, Jacqueline Tsang 2009 Group 4 Project

What we are doing : 

What we are doing A feasibility study that investigates… Possible locations for system Safety concerns Costs The system itself Panels (size, type, energy efficiency) Maintenance System – batteries / main grid Installation 2009 Group 4 Project

Why have solar panels? : 

Why have solar panels? Sustainable Saves costs Reputation Encourage awareness Reliable Clean 2009 Group 4 Project

Criteria we are looking for : 

Criteria we are looking for Panels/Location Fast carbon payback Constant access to light Vacant/unused space Easily connected to main grid Durable – withstand typhoon Easy to clean/ access/ maintain Company Support/consulting services Warranty Maintenance Cost – subsidies Monitoring equipment Safety Other equipment – inverter Their mission 2009 Group 4 Project

Choosing the System : 

Choosing the System 2009 Group 4 Project

Photovoltaic (PV) : 

Photovoltaic (PV) Solar cells convert light energy from the sun into electrical energy Photovoltaic effect DC current 2009 Group 4 Project https://www.mrsolar.com/style-img/solar-panel-diagram.png

Components : 

Components Inverter Monitoring equipment Performance display (teacher access) Fuses/ circuit breaker/ wires 2009 Group 4 Project http://www.greeninfonet.org.uk/Portals/54/Green%20Network/pv%20monitor.JPG

Costs : 

Costs Subsidies range from $10,000 - $500,000 “The ECF (Environmental & Conservation Fund) provides funding support for educational, research, technology demonstration and other projects and activities in relation to environmental and conservation matters“ Environmental Education and Community Action Projects (Minor Works Projects) Process of applying – 3 quotes 2009 Group 4 Project

Possible Companies : 

Possible Companies Winfat Global Crossing Ltd. Resources and Protection Technology SaVita Widex EcoTech 2009 Group 4 Project

Possible location : 

Possible location 2009 Group 4 Project Top of Block 2 Faces SW Larger unused space Easy to access AC units 10m to switch room

Slide 11: 

12m Approximately $100 000 needed to produce 1kW Assuming subsidy of $500 000: =Approximately 4kW generated (allowing $100 000 for monitoring equipment etc.) 1 panel generates 220W- 1 row generates approximately 2kW

Slide 12: 

0.6m

Conclusion : 

Conclusion 2009 Group 4 Project We can Have Solar Power!
