PV deployment for poverty alleviation is intended to reduce the burden of energy expenditures by offsetting household energy expenditures in rural communities. The pilot counties selected for PV povert. We construct a panel dataset of yearly observations from 2013 to 2016 at the individual. Among the 211 PV counties, 175 are national poverty-stricken counties. Supplementary Table 2in the Supplementary Information shows that the average per capit. First, the correlation analysis of variables was carried out and the results are in Supplementary Table 3 in the Supplementary Information. The correlation coefficient betwe. A requirement for unbiased DID estimation result is to satisfy the parallel trend assumption. This requirement means the treatment and control groups should have the same trend b. First, we use PSM to obtain a comparable control group, and the various county level characteristics are used as the matching criteria. Counties that have not implemented the.

What are China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects?
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 support of the Chinese government, becoming an integral strategy for the support of rural industries.
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 contributes to eradicating poverty and rural revitalization.
Do solar photovoltaic projects improve poverty alleviation?
There lacks a comprehensive analysis on the large-scale deployment of solar photovoltaic projects and its impact on poverty alleviation. Here the authors show that solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation pilot policy increases per-capita disposable income in a county by approximately 7%-8%.
What is the work scheme on photovoltaic poverty alleviation project?
In 2014, the National Energy Administration and the State Council Poverty Relief Development Leading Group Office jointly issued The Work Scheme on Carrying out Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Project, dedicated to launching a nationwide PV poverty alleviation pilot project.
First, as one of the most efficient poverty alleviation strategies, village power stations occupy a small amount of space and involve little investment compared with other modes, which is possible to be promoted for the construction in the photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects.
How can government regulation improve photovoltaic poverty alleviation?
Along with attempts to increase the stability of the development of the solar energy industry, government regulation could ensure that the scale of the photovoltaic poverty alleviation market remains stable, paying more attention to the quality and effectiveness of power stations.
