The principle of power generation is to let the sunlight directly irradiate the solar cell under the condition of light (including the light generated by sunlight and other luminous bodies), and use the solar cell to absorb the sunlight. , a power generation method that converts light energy into electrical energy output.        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"cms-accordion-item \">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-ac-title \" data-target=\"#76d09e6cms_accordion-1a390b1\">\r\n        <a class=\"cms-ac-title-text\">How to calculate the production capacity?<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"76d09e6cms_accordion-1a390b1\" class=\"cms-ac-content\">\r\n            The electricity production is calculated based on the daily effective sunshine time, plus the system power generation capacity after the depreciation of shading and other factors. According to NASA weather data, the effective sunshine time of the Hong Kong Observatory is 3.56 hours per day, while some suppliers on the market use the Hong Kong International Airport for 4.02 hours, ignoring the impairment of shading and resistance and directly multiplying the power generation capacity. The calculated power generation is exaggerated, resulting in a very fast payback period, so there is a big gap between the expected and actual power generation and income.<br \/>\nWe must refer to accurate weather data, coupled with system design and simulation, and cooperate with shading analysis, in order to calculate the actual power generation as close as possible.        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"cms-accordion-item \">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-ac-title \" data-target=\"#d027457cms_accordion-1a390b1\">\r\n        <a class=\"cms-ac-title-text\">Do solar systems emit radiation?<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"d027457cms_accordion-1a390b1\" class=\"cms-ac-content\">\r\n            In the process of solar panels absorbing solar power, only a very small amount of current is generated.

Generally speaking, the larger the power generation capacity of a renewable energy system, the cheaper its average construction cost per kilowatt, and the lower its average power generation cost. Setting different levels of on-grid tariffs can more effectively and fairly reflect the factors of power generation capacity and average power generation cost.<br \/>\nAfter considering the size of the renewable energy system most likely to be installed in Hong Kong's environment, we should have different levels of feed-in tariffs covering different systems,<br \/>\nThe smallest class (10 kW or less) covers solar systems on the roofs of most village houses;<br \/>\nThe second level (over 10kW but 200kW or below) covers solar systems on rooftops of general buildings (e.g. systems at the Airport Police Station and Wan Chai Government Buildings);<br \/>\nThe third level (over 200 kW but 1 000 kW or below) covers relatively larger solar systems (such as the system at the Headquarters of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department).        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"cms-accordion-item \">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-ac-title \" data-target=\"#a60d960cms_accordion-0eeb401\">\r\n        <a class=\"cms-ac-title-text\">What are the business registration and tax filing requirements for participating in the FiT?<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"a60d960cms_accordion-0eeb401\" class=\"cms-ac-content\">\r\n            According to the \"Business Registration Ordinance\" (Chapter 310) and the \"Inland Revenue Ordinance\" (Chapter 112), individuals who participate in the feed-in tariff must apply for business registration and submit a profit tax return, through the sale of renewable energy to power companies. Profits tax is payable on the assessable profits.<br \/>\nHowever, in order to encourage individuals to consider installing renewable energy systems in their homes, the Environment Bureau will propose legislative amendments to exempt individuals from the above-mentioned requirements for participating in the feed-in tariff scheme for small-scale renewable energy systems in their homes.        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \t\t        <\/div>\r\n        <\/section>\r\n\t\t        <section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c49b1b8 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c49b1b8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t        <div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended \" >\r\n\t\t        <div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b24d476\" data-id=\"b24d476\" data-element_type=\"column\">\r\n        <div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\r\n                        \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf293ab animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-cms_accordion\" data-id=\"bf293ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"cms_accordion.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"cms_accordion-bf293ab\" class=\"cms-accordion layout1 style3\">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-accordion-item \">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-ac-title \" data-target=\"#fca6202cms_accordion-bf293ab\">\r\n        <a class=\"cms-ac-title-text\">What types of places are suitable for installing solar panels?<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"fca6202cms_accordion-bf293ab\" class=\"cms-ac-content\">\r\n            Any residential buildings, schools, commercial buildings, warehouses, factory buildings and rooftops of village houses with a certain area.        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"cms-accordion-item \">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-ac-title \" data-target=\"#195c900cms_accordion-bf293ab\">\r\n        <a class=\"cms-ac-title-text\">The principle of solar power generation?<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"195c900cms_accordion-bf293ab\" class=\"cms-ac-content\">\r\n            Solar energy is the light energy received by the earth from the sun.

The calculated power generation is exaggerated, resulting in a very fast payback period, so there is a big gap between the expected and actual power generation and income.<br \/>\nWe must refer to accurate weather data, coupled with system design and simulation, and cooperate with shading analysis, in order to calculate the actual power generation as close as possible.        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"cms-accordion-item \">\r\n        <div class=\"cms-ac-title \" data-target=\"#d027457cms_accordion-bf293ab\">\r\n        <a class=\"cms-ac-title-text\">Do solar systems emit radiation?<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"d027457cms_accordion-bf293ab\" class=\"cms-ac-content\">\r\n            In the process of solar panels absorbing solar power, only a very small amount of current is generated.
