6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Farmers install solar power generation in China”
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 China subsidize solar power?
China subsidized distributed PV from 2013 until canceling subsidies in 2022 (Fig. 1). Under the policies, PV stations commissioned in different years received varying subsidy rates, fixed for 20 years. Trends in government subsidies for photovoltaic power generation.
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.
Do farmers want to adopt rooftop photovoltaics?
Therefore, when studying the intention to adopt rooftop photovoltaics, the theory of planned behavior provides researchers with a comprehensive theoretical framework that helps explain and predict farmers' willingness to adopt rooftop photovoltaics and provides guidance for developing interventions to promote photovoltaic adoption.
Does community management influence the adoption of distributed solar?
The Chinese government promotes distributed solar to drive low-carbon development. However, community management and China's institutional system influence unequal access. We identify three community-level adoption modes: welfare distribution, collective leasing, and household autonomy.
How can China promote distributed PV?
To promote distributed PV, China's National Energy Administration launched a “county-level promotion” strategy in 2021. This strategy sets a target for at least 20% of rural households in 676 pilot counties and districts to adopt rooftop solar panels. The concept of “energy justice” originates from John Rawls' theory of justice.
