Rooftop solar PV installations in China may surge in the next three years as the country goes through a green energy transition and plans to make renewable energy a key cornerstone in the country's path to a greener economy, a recent research report said.
A major push to install rooftop solar panels on Chinese buildings is putting the nation on track for another record-setting year on renewable energy.
Most of the country's distributed solar photovoltaics are installed in the eastern and southern parts of China, where the economy is prosperous and demand for power is greater, including in Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.
In addition to conventional solar technologies, rooftop solar photovoltaic (RSPV) systems have attracted wide attention as they can not only meet a building's distributed energy demand but also save land use arising from their installation as part of a building (An et al., 2023 Z. Chen et al., 2022; Sun et al., 2022).
Most of that rooftop solar has been added in the past two years, as China offered support for local governments to boost installations, and raised power rates to businesses, making generating their own electricity more attractive.
It is reported by China's National Energy Administration (CNEA) that more than half of all solar panels installed in 2021 are on rooftops (González-González et al., 2022; Li et al., 2019; Martinez-Rubio et al., 2015).
