Can solar photovoltaic projects help alleviate poverty in rural areas?

Nature Communications 11, Article number: 1969 (2020) Cite this article Since 2013, China has implemented a large-scale initiative to systematically deploy solar photovoltaic (PV) projects to alleviate poverty in rural areas.

Does community management influence household adoption of rooftop solar photovoltaics in rural China?

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.

Does PV revenue affect income growth in rural households?

Given that the amount of PV revenue distributed to rural households can influence income growth, we use the logarithm of the accumulated PPAP funds received by rural households for the year as an additional policy variable for PPAP. The results are presented in Table 5.

What is agrivoltaics and how can it benefit the solar industry?

For the solar industry, agrivoltaics has the potential to facilitate siting of solar installations, improve solar PV panel performance by cooling the panels, and lower operations and maintenance costs by limiting the need for mowing.

Who invests in roof photovoltaic?

The investors in the collective leasing mode are enterprises. Households and enterprises share the property rights of roof photovoltaic and the benefits brought by its adoption. The lower-level government bureaucracy, as the agent of residents, plays a leading role in the cooperation between residents and enterprises.

Do community-level support and household resources affect photovoltaic adoption?

We find that structural opportunities provided by communities and households’ own resource endowments have an additive effect on adoption. This highlights the need to consider both community-level support and household resources when evaluating photovoltaic adoption and energy justice.
