Based on the developed mathematical model, this paper assesses the solar irradiation resources and BIPV potential of residential buildings in different climate zones of China. It is found that roofs are the first choice for BIPV installation, followed by south façades, especially in high-latitude cities, and then east and west facades.
We analyze residents' intentions to install photovoltaic (PV) systems in China. The adoption of residential PV is influenced by the government's subsidy policy. Property rights for buildings and bungalows also affect PV systems' installation. China's residential PV installation policies should increase users' trust.
China’s rural residential photovoltaic system has been greatly developed in recent years. However, most existing researches, are difficult to reflect the real development situation of the whole system.
For the sake of supporting the development of China’s photovoltaic industry, the Chinese government issued the “Interim Measures for the Management of Financial Subsidies for the Golden Sun Pilot Project” in 2009 [ 43 ], which opened the history of subsidies for distributed photovoltaics by the central finance and achieved remarkable results.
Given the low-density layout and high-intensity development of China’s residential blocks, China’s residential communities have great potential for solar energy development. However, while BIPV and SWH technologies have been applied on a large scale, related theoretical studies are relatively insufficient.
Unfortunately, although the number of households in China has increased to about 500 million, by the end of 2021, only 873,000 pieces of photovoltaic equipment have been installed, and the installation rate is only 1.7% [ 32 ], far from reaching the policy target [ 24 ].
