6 FAQs about [Rural rooftop solar power generation investment]
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.
Is solar rooftop PV useful in rural areas?
Although the Chinese government attaches great importance to the deployment of solar rooftop PV in rural areas, villagers with less education may not necessarily realise its advantages, not necessarily consider it useful or easy to use, and even the safety and high cost of residential rooftop systems may lead to their perception of various risks.
Can photovoltaics help alleviate rural poverty?
Research is central to the success of major photovoltaic programmes in ramping up clean energy and alleviating rural poverty. A house in Qingdao, in China’s eastern Shandong province, where rooftops are being used to generate solar power. Credit: Lingqi Xie/Getty
Why is China promoting photovoltaic system in rural areas?
Based on the above reasons, the Chinese government plans to vigorously promote the construction of photovoltaic system in rural areas, which has been included in the 14 th Five-Year Plan of renewable energy development.

Should rural households be regarded as energy consumers or energy producers?
Rural households should not only be regarded as energy consumers but also as energy producers. As the main production individuals, villagers' cognition and willingness to adopt residential rooftop PV (RRPV) are the key factors affecting the development of rural PV power stations, land use and the promotion rate of rooftop PV.
How much power can a rooftop photovoltaic system generate?
In terms of power generation potential, Charlie et al. (2023) predicted the installed capacity potential and power generation capacity of the rooftop distributed photovoltaic power generation system of rural residential buildings in China, and the results showed that under a positive scenario, the total installed capacity potential was about 696GW.
