This paper examines inequality in household adoption of rooftop solar photovoltaics in rural China through a qualitative study of three villages. The Chinese government promotes distributed solar to drive low-carbon development. However, community management and China’s institutional system influence unequal access.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
Solar PV of China accounted for about one third (174GW) of the global total installed capacity in 2018 and contributed to 3.5% of national total power generation in 2020 .
For the pathway modelled in this study, in which the technology improvement rate of HSPV during the past five years was considered, the total installed capacity would increase from 253 GW in 2020 to 1998 GW and 4548 GW in 2030 and 2050, respectively. Fig. 3. Future development trend of solar PV in China.
, since 2013, China’s newly added distributed photovoltaic installed capacity have fluctuated upward, and reached 29.28 GW by 2021, accounting for 53.4% of the total, and exceeding the centralized photovoltaic system for the first time in history.
With regard to technology research and development, the latest photoelectric conversion efficiency of China’s mass production of silicon solar cell has reached more than 25%, which is the world’s leading level (Chen et al. 2022).

Background Highly carbonized energy use in ecologically fragile areas of Northwest China seriously endangers the health of residents and the ecological environment. However, poor energy affordability remains a major obstacle to the promotion of clean energy use in rural households in this region. Methods Based on survey data of 1118 households in …
Distributed solar PV contributes one third to total solar power generation in China, but household solar PV (HSPV) currently accounts for only 22% in the distributed solar …
The solar resource is more uniformly distributed than other energy sources such as wind, coal, or gas. In particular, the solar resource is abundant and almost constant throughout the year in low-latitude regions, which have the highest population density and the highest expected increase in energy consumption.
Since 2021, China''s " Whole County PV " programme has been dramatically expanding the use of solar power in rural areas, by building on government, commercial, industrial and residential rooftops. However, the …

Many renewable energy technologies are used to improve natural ventilation and cooling in buildings, including the solar chimney and heat exchanger, which are renewable energy technologies that ...
In 2020, China''s newly installed grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 48.2GW, a year-on-year increase of 60.1%, of which the installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power plants was 32.7GW, a year-on-year increase of 82.68%; the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power plants was 15.5GW, a year-on-year increase of 27.04%.
Viewed from a distance, Lianxing looks more like a solar energy farm than a rural village of 457 households. There are solar photovoltaic panels on almost all its rooftops and in every courtyard.
Distributed solar PV contributes one third to total solar power generation in China, but household solar PV (HSPV) currently accounts for only 22% in the distributed solar market. Although researchers have investigated the huge power generation potential of the rooftop system by various estimation techniques and case studies, few has looked ...
The results show that currently the photovoltaic power generation technology is relatively mature and widely applied, and passive photovoltaic technology can play a greater role in reducing energy consumption in rural residential buildings in China.
To achieve the national target that renewable power would meet half of the total electricity demand by 2030 in China, solar energy is attached with strategic importance and is expected to produce 20%-25% of the total electricity by 2050 [1], which is generally consistent with the long-term national climate target of reaching net-zero emission before 2060 [2].
Since 2021, China''s " Whole County PV " programme has been dramatically expanding the use of solar power in rural areas, by building on government, commercial, industrial and residential rooftops. However, the programme faces a number of obstacles, with problems reported, for example, in the rollout in the province of Shandong in eastern China.
The results show that currently the photovoltaic power generation tech-nology is relatively mature and widely applied, and passive photovoltaic technology can play a greater role in reducing energy consumption in rural residential buildings in China.
This conversion enables the use of solar energy to power household appliances, industrial machinery, and grid-tied solar systems. The charge controller''s role in such systems extends to optimizing the charging process from solar panels to the battery bank, thereby ensuring that the inverter has a consistent and reliable DC source to convert from, enhancing …

The Sun is the primary source of sustenance for all living and nonliving things on this planet earth. Solar energy is the solitary renewable energy source with immense potential of yearly global insolation at 5600 ZJ [1], as compared to other sources such as biomass and wind.The Sun is a large, radiant spherical unit of hot gas which is composed of hydrogen …
To promote distributed PV, China''s National Energy Administration launched a "county-level promotion" strategy in 2021. This strategy sets a target for at least 20% of rural households in 676 pilot counties and districts to adopt rooftop solar panels. The concept of "energy justice" originates from John Rawls'' theory of justice.
