Rural solar photovoltaic power generation income

Do Rural solar PV projects impact households' livelihood?

In the view of the whole life cycle of sustainable livelihoods, this paper probes into the internal logic by which rural solar PV projects impact households' livelihood and reveals the heterogeneity in the poverty reduction path of PPAPs for the families with different characteristics and different cognitive dimensions.

Can solar power reduce poverty in rural areas?

Of China’s ten poverty-alleviation projects, its development of photovoltaic-based solar power has been one of the most successful. We suggest that other countries look more explicitly at solar energy as a way of generating income in rural areas, in accord with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal to eradicate global poverty by 2030.

Do solar photovoltaic projects improve poverty alleviation?

There lacks a comprehensive analysis on the large-scale deployment of solar photovoltaic projects and its impact on poverty alleviation. Here the authors show that solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation pilot policy increases per-capita disposable income in a county by approximately 7%-8%.

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.

Is solar PV a good option for poverty reduction?

Solar PV technology has become a clean, low-carbon and price competitive energy in many countries, and the discussion of PV projects and poverty reduction is one of the hot topics at present time.

Do solar power facilities help alleviate energy poverty?

Solar-power facilities provide employment opportunities, boost farmers’ incomes and supply households with affordable, reliable and sustainable energy, thus also helping to alleviate energy poverty. Nature 560, 29 (2018)
