The use of photovoltaic power in poverty alleviation in China is one of the “Ten Targeted Poverty Alleviation Projects” of the government. This type of alleviate poverty features prominently in the planning of both ce. ••Financial modes of poverty relief using PV power are comparatively e. “No poverty” is the first of 17 sustainable development goals set out by the United Nations. There are a number of poverty alleviation measures in China, one of which, the use of. At present, there are seven main financing methods used by the following participating areas: Yunnan Province, Jiangsu Province, Guizhou Province, Shanxi Province, Siyang City in Anhui Pro. We further compare the incomes of PV enterprises and poverty-stricken families under the three modes using an example. Considering that sunlight conditions in various places ar. A game model, by which poverty is relieved through PV power generation, is set up for analysis focusing on three different financing modes. As revealed in the research findings.

Are photovoltaic power stations a good option for poverty alleviation projects?
At present, the per unit benchmark prices for a photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station (0.50 MW and below) and the per unit subsidy for household distributed photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects remain unchanged, conferring on these projects a great advantage.
Will village-level poverty alleviation power stations contribute to China's photovoltaic poverty relief programme?
In the next few years, the development of village-level poverty alleviation power stations will constitute the main direction for China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation programme. The village power stations overcome several bottlenecks that have long troubled photovoltaic projects and greatly reduce project development difficulties.
The income generated from the power stations is spent entirely on alleviating poverty. As of the end of 2020, 100,000 villages across China had installed PV power stations, generating a total of 18.65 million KW of electricity and bringing an average annual income of 200,000 yuan (about $30,000) for each village.
As a part of an environmentally concerned development strategy, the photovoltaic poverty alleviation in China is adopted to lift households above the extreme poverty line by 2020.
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%.
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.
