The installed capacity of household photovoltaic in China has exceeded 100 million kilowatts, covering more than 5 million farmers.

CTOnews.com, November 14, according to the statistics of the National Energy Administration, by the end of September this year, the cumulative installed capacity of household distributed photovoltaic in China exceeded 100 million kilowatts, reaching 105 million kilowatts, helping to push the total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China to more than 500 million kilowatts, reaching 520 million kilowatts. According to statistics, at present, the cumulative number of household distributed photovoltaic installations in rural areas has exceeded 5 million, driving effective investment of more than 500 billion yuan.

Tuyuan Pixabay in September this year, the newly installed capacity of domestic distributed photovoltaic was 32.977 million kilowatts, accounting for about half of the new installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic, more than 1/4 of the total installed capacity of domestic photovoltaic, and 1.3 times the newly installed capacity of household photovoltaic last year (2525 kilowatts).

CTOnews.com noted that from the perspective of regional distribution, by the end of September this year, Shandong, Henan and Hebei had the top three cumulative installed capacity of household distributed photovoltaic in the country, with installed capacity of 24.48 million kilowatts, 20.84 million kilowatts and 16.66 million kilowatts respectively, totaling 61.98 million kilowatts, accounting for about 60 percent of the country's total.

The National Energy Administration said that according to estimates by relevant agencies, the area of photovoltaic roofs that can be installed in China's rural areas is about 27.3 billion square meters, more than 80 million households, with great potential for development.
