Household adoption modes of rooftop photovoltaic in rural
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
Usually, only about 30% of households can adopt PV. To increase that percentage, the village would need to expand transformer capacity. The costs of that expansion get divided up and paid by later adopters. This raises their construction costs and creates an obstacle to adoption. It is another form of injustice.
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.
Dongwen Liu, CEO of Chongho Bridge, noted that rooftop solar projects could boost the annual cash income of rural populations by 10%-20%. The collaboration with Chongho Bridge is anticipated to yield significant environmental and social benefits for rural households, businesses and their wider communities through rooftop solar power generation.
The substantial potential of rooftop solar can meet the current annual electricity demands of rural households, and can also address the wider electricity needs of sectors such as agriculture and forestry, collectively amounting to approximately 550 billion kWh.
