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.
Toward this end, the country makes all efforts to develop renewables including solar photovoltaic (PV) generation. As a result, China has become a leader in the production and installation of PV equipment in the world since 2013 (REN21, 2014, 2020).
In the first seven-months of 2021, China installed 7.66 GW of residential solar, with close to 1.8 GW installed in July alone. The market is taking advantage of the relatively generous and fixed budget of CNY 0.5 billion ($77.5 million) and a subsidy of CNY 0.03/kWh.
As the initial cost of PV investments keeps declining rapidly, however, residential PV installations began to speed up gradually. The newly installed capacity of residential PV systems in China in 2019 is 4.2 GW p, which is just following the annual addition to solar PV capacity of the U.S., India, Japan, Vietnam, or Spain (REN21, 2020).
, since 2013, China’s newly added distributed photovoltaic installed capacity have fluctuated upward, and reached 29.28 GW by 2021, accounting for 53.4% of the total, and exceeding the centralized photovoltaic system for the first time in history.
