Residential Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Policy

What is residential Distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation?

Residential distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation is regarded as a viable solution to improve energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Compared to traditional large-scale PV generation, it requires little space with low installation cost and can reduce electricity transmission loses significantly (Zhang et al. 2015).

What is the price policy for solar power generation projects?

On December 22, 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission released a notice on the Price Policy for Photovoltaic Power Generation Projects in 2018. In the latest version, national government granted a subsidy s of 0.37 CNY for each kWh for distributed solar PV electricity.

Can subsidy policies reduce the cost of residential photovoltaics?

Cost-saving can improve users’ perception of ease of use, thereby improving users’ acceptance of mobility as a service [ 39 ]. Therefore, we speculate that subsidy policies can reduce the economic cost of residential photovoltaics for residents, thereby generating a positive impact on the perceived ease of use.

How to promote sustainable adoption of residential Distributed photovoltaic generation in China?

An employment of incentive and punitive policies The development of residential solar photovoltaic has not achieved the desired target albeit with numerous incentive policies from Chinese government.

Is distributed photovoltaic generation a viable solution to energy security?

Carbon emissions from electricity generation constitute a considerable proportion (IPCC 2014). Residential distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation is regarded as a viable solution to improve energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Can building residents promote a distributed photovoltaic system?

By contrast, building residents pay more attention to the direct benefit created by the installation of residential photovoltaic equipment. Therefore, adopting the strategy from bungalow residents to building residents could help promote the distributed photovoltaic system progressively.
