Panels put rural homes on energy map

China Daily  

Arrays of PV panels in the yards and on the rooftops of Lianxing village in Wuyuan, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, in June. The National Energy Administration said the installed capacity of household distributed solar PV power generation reached about 105 gigawatts by the end of September. It said roughly half the growth in the capacity of distributed solar PV in the first three quarters of last year — almost 33 GW — was contributed by household panels. The administration also noted the huge potential for distributed solar PV power development in rural China, saying almost 27.3 billion square meters of rooftops belonging to more than 80 million rural households are suitable sites for panels. Launched three years ago in 676 pilot county-level areas, the program aims to tap the potential of the rooftops of government and public buildings, industrial and commercial complexes and rural homes for distributed solar PV development.
