The Barnabas Charitable Service Association Limited (Barnabas) was founded in 1981 by a group of Christians who were inspired by a Bible figure, Barnabas, as a comforter for those in need and they chose the female abusers of dangerous drugs as their target group for service.
Barnabas was registered as a non-profit making organization in 1987 and became a member of the Hong Kong Council of Social Services and the Community Chest subsequently. In 1998, the agency began to receive subvention from the HKSAR government. Their mission is to facilitate the rehabilitation of female drug abusers, to help them rebuild their lives and family relationships, raise public awareness towards the issue, and to fight against drug addiction through compassion and God’s grace.
Barnabas provides residential rehabilitation services to female drug abusers. Its dormitories are located in Lamma Island and Ma On Shan. The Lamma Training Centre provides a one-year rehabilitation service for female drug users with a residential period of 9 months or above. After they reach their treatment goals and successfully complete the rehabilitation progress assessment, they will be transferred to the Ma On Shan Half-way House to continue learning and consolidating their determination to detoxify.
Solar panels were installed on the two rooftops of the Lamma Training Centre. There are a total of 30 solar photovoltaic(PV) panels, with a system capacity of 13.05kWp. Their estimated power generation in the first year is 13,670kWh.

A solar-powered CCTVs was installed on the rooftop. The panel is equipped with a battery storage to ensure the CCTVs is in operation even at night or when the sky is cloudy.
The weather station collects irradiance and ambient temperature data, which allows engineers to examine the performance of the system from the detected data. It could also be used for taking preventive measures, monitoring potential risks and making timely corrections to the system if necessary. The weather station shown here was installed on the rooftop of the office building.
