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.

Do solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects work in China?

Solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) have flourished with great achievements in China since 2013. However, the degree to which thes…

Is solar PV a viable option in China?

Therefore, there is still no consensus on the feasibility and effectiveness of solar PV technology. Despite the fact that China's PPAPs sustain a great momentum of development, related researches are still in the stage of attempted exploration.

What are the benefits of solar PV power generation?

The use of solar PV power generation can reduce carbon emissions, environmental pollution and global warming. The use of solar PV power generation can control household energy expenditure and manage energy usage. Degree of Participation in the process of the decision-making, construction, operation and maintenance of PPAPs.

Do solar PV projects influence Lo and bi?

The path distribution of different family characteristics. According to the cognitive score of solar PV power generation, we divide research samples into two groups: 1) a cognitive score ≤ 2.5; 2) a cognitive score>2.5. The test results show that PV projects have a significant influence on LO and BI of group 1, but not on LC.

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.
