The use of solar energy has proven to be effective as a method of alleviating poverty in the past. In China, solar energy has provided power to more than 800,000 families living in poverty, and in one county, solar installations provided families with an additional annual income of over $400, according to Nature.
Furthermore, the low-income families in South Korea are generally satisfied with their PV system . It can be seen that the use of clean energy to alleviate poverty carries huge human expectations. 2.2. Solar PV and poverty alleviation Solar energy is considered to be one of the most sustainable and renewable sources of energy.
The organization has worked in more than 25 countries across Asia, South America, and the Caribbean, and has been recently focusing on sub-Saharan Africa as well, Freling said. SELF is one of a number of organizations using solar energy to alleviate poverty and empower communities.
The impact of photovoltaic poverty alleviation policy (PPAP) on household energy poverty is empirically investigated. The panel data of a tracking survey from 2010 to 2018 is used, and the high-dimensional fixed effect model is employed. PPAP contributed positively to alleviating household energy poverty.
However, the large-scale application of solar PV in poverty alleviation is affected by resource conditions, market environment, equipment cost, infrastructure, on-grid electricity prices, user experience, subsequent supervision and many other factors [10, 11].
Moreover, the centralized poverty-relief power stations funded and managed by enterprises are likely to have a large amount of debt risk, which will affect the poverty reduction effect of the project [70, 74]. Hubei and Henan, where the ‘Type Ⅲ’ solar PV resource areas are located, largely construct village-level poverty-relief power stations.
