A number of photo-voltaic systems have been sold in the remote provinces, but the size and nature of this market was not well understood. The study produced data that addresses several needs: it yielded an estimate of the size of the potential market for photo-voltaic systems in four Chinese provinces; provided important information on the characteristics, ability to pay, and preferences of potential customers; detailed positive, and negative experiences with existing photo-voltaic systems; and, developed recommendations to increase the penetration of photo-voltaic systems in rural China, as part of the upcoming China Renewable Energy Development Project. The main conclusion of the report is that there is significant desire by households in remote areas, for electricity, and that there is significant potential market demand for photo-voltaic systems. 2014-09-30T20:51:37Z 2014-09-30T20:51:37Z 2000-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2000/08/717494/assessing-markets-renewable-energy-rural-areas-northwestern-china http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20316 English en_US Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme technical series;ESMAP technical paper no. 003 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: ESMAP Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific China
