The scale of PV power stations is different in the Chinese coastal provinces. The average area of PV power stations in Shanghai, Fujian, and Taiwan is less than 0.07 km 2, while the average area of those in Hainan, Hebei, and Tianjin is greater than 0.17 km 2 (Fig. 4 a). This is consistent with the ratio of distributed photovoltaic power stations.

In cases where the power generated by the solar PV system accounts for a very small amount in the total power consumption of host customers (industrial and commercial customers in particular), non-performance on the part of host customers (i.e. non-payment of the discounted solar PV power tariff), would have little impact on these customers'' revenue.
100 countries use solar PV power. The major installations of solar PV power are ground-mounted (utility scale or large-scale) PV (LSPV) power, and distributed solar photovoltaic DSPV power. DSPV power projects have different definitions. For instance, according to the National Development and Reform Commission of China (NDRC, 2013) and the
