6 FAQs about [Analysis of the use of solar panels in Chinese households]
Does China's social system influence household solar adoption?
China’s social system influences household solar adoption, intertwining inequality and injustice with lower-level government bureaucracy behaviors. The background of Chinese households adopting solar energy is unique and rarely discussed in previous studies.
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.
Why is solar energy important in China?
The Government of China always makes people aware of environmental problems, their responsibilities, and active involvement in improving the environment. Besides, the government gives importance to climate mitigation and believes that solar energy is theright alternative to conventional fuels.
How did China's solar subsidy phase-out affect energy consumption?
The announcement of subsidy phase-out led to a larger energy “rebound effect”. They adjusted electricity usage patterns to maximize revenue from solar electricity. With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies.
Why is the photovoltaic industry growing in China?
In particular, the household photovoltaic industry has witnessed a significant increase in the production capacity of photovoltaic electricity in China, driven by PV generation subsidies (Lu et al., 2019).
What is the future development trend of solar PV in China?
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.
