The growth of Residential rooftop solar (RRS) in some western countries has predominantly been driven by individual or market behaviour and has been extensively studied. However, the development landscape of RRS in China differs, and its driving mechanisms remain unclear.
Finally, the study presented one economic analysis model to evaluate the profitability by combining the market cost of rooftop PV systems and electricity prices in China. The economic model included four indicators: payback period (static and dynamic), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR).
2030 is a critical milestone for China in achieving carbon peak, and large-scale deployment of rooftop photovoltaics is one of the key measures to support this goal in response to national planning and design. Hence, this study selects the summer of 2030 as the simulated period .
The research underscores the significant role of rooftop PV in achieving China’s energy and climate goals in its northwestern urban centers. In China, more than 75% of electricity is still generated using "dirty" coal, resulting in substantial emissions of NO x, CO 2, and SO 2 into the environment.
1. Introduction Residential rooftop solar (RRS) for electricity generation is essential in the new power system and vital during the low-carbon green energy transformation, which is being adopted globally (Moore and Bullard, 2021). In recent years, China’s RRS has been expanding rapidly, with the annual growth rate ranking first in the world.
The northwest region, with its solar potential, is a focal point for distributed PV growth, which has already exceeded 50% of the energy mix by 2021. This study assesses the rooftop PV potential in five northwestern capitals, finding favorable conditions such as ample space, dense populations, and high sunlight exposure.
