Household adoption modes of rooftop photovoltaic in rural China and social inequality: an energy justice perspective
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3497-7525
This paper examines inequality in household adoption of rooftop solar photovoltaics in rural China through a qualitative study of three villages. The Chinese government promotes distributed solar to drive low-carbon development. However, community management and China’s institutional system influence unequal access. We identify three community-level adoption modes: welfare distribution, collective leasing, and household autonomy. Government-driven modes like welfare distribution increase structural opportunities for adoption but reduce resident decision-making power and process transparency, causing procedural unfairness. We find that structural opportunities provided by communities and households’ own resource endowments have an additive effect on adoption. This highlights the need to consider both community-level support and household resources when evaluating photovoltaic adoption and energy justice.
