Since 2013, China has implemented a large-scale initiative to systematically deploy solar photovoltaic (PV) projects to alleviate poverty in rural areas. To provide new understanding of
Abstract Motivated by a widely practiced strategy to combine the growth of the solar energy sector with poverty mitigation, we propose stylized models of households selling extra solar energy back
In recent years, China has innovatively implemented the Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Projects (PPAPs), presenting a viable solution for addressing multiple SDGs. The PPAP is a targeted
Abstract Energy poverty is a serious problem worldwide and has attracted the attention of policymakers. As a type of social welfare project, photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs)
Here, we assess China''s photovoltaic poverty alleviation program, which supports households with low incomes through small-scale solar electricity generation.
Photovoltaic poverty alleviation (PVPA), an innovative and unique policy in China aiming at green development and poverty alleviation, has attracted increasing attention from both the public
Our results are robust to alternative specifications and variable definitions. We propose several policy recommendations to sustain progress in China''s efforts to deploy PV for poverty
For example, in 2014, The State Council put forward the Work Plan for Implementing Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Projects (PPAP), which reduced 6.32% of household energy poverty .
The photovoltaic poverty alleviation project, part of the “Ten Major Precise Poverty Alleviation Projects” implemented by the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, significantly
This paper analyzes the comprehensive benefits of typical market entities of photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects, and establishes the environment, economic and social benefit evaluation
Photovoltaic poverty alleviation pilot counties refer to areas with good sunshine conditions (annual sunshine time is more than 2000 hours), including some national-level poverty-stricken counties.
We use a unique micro dataset from the period of 2014–2021 to evaluate China''s Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation (PVPA) program. By employing a difference-in-differences strategy,
Abstract and Figures Photovoltaic-based targeted poverty alleviation (PVPA) has been established for 10 years with the mission of one of “the ten large-scale poverty relief programs” in China.
Poverty alleviation through photovoltaic technology in China has encountered significant barriers, notably low economic returns due to regional and market mismatches. This study introduces
To address this problem, we take China''s Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Project (PPAP) as an example to empirically study the benefits of large-scale PV deployment for alleviating poverty
To address this gap, this paper aims to reveal the status, collaborative networks, research hotspots, trends and challenges by conducting a scientometric analysis based on 468 academic
As a new type of PAPSE project, agrophotovoltaics (APV) has the potential to address the limitations of PAPSE ones. APV programs that install solar panels above fishponds or over
Few people understand the role energy access plays in poverty alleviation better than Robert Freling, the long-time executive director of the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), who has
China''s photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) aim to help alleviate poverty by using the new energy power generation. In recent years, the PPAPs have flourished with the strong
This study also observed that while PPAP can reduce economic poverty by 4.5%, it can also “contribute 3.4% and 3.2% to poverty reduction in the two dimensions of social and human
Alleviating energy poverty through access to modern, sustainable energy services is crucial for enabling healthy, productive, empowered communities. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology
Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation (PVPA) projects, which utilize the subsidies and income from PV power to alleviate poverty in rural areas, are part of a comprehensive energy policy
Among the renewable energy promotion actions at the global level, photovoltaic poverty alleviation (PVPA) program in China is very unique since the targeted users are villagers in poverty
Poverty-alleviation programs using solar energy (PAPSE) are poised to unlock unprecedented capital investments with significant potential to reconcile the energy–poverty–climate
Energy poverty remains a critical global challenge demanding urgent solutions. This study investigates the alleviation effects of rural rooftop photovoltaic potential on energy poverty in China
With the assessments on the photovoltaic power stations, the initial implementation of photovoltaic poverty alleviation revealed a number of problems and solutions, which are practical for
