Can you imagine living in a home that never runs out of power? Guangdong Province has recently announced the official launch of the “Guangdong Provincial Work Plan for Promoting the Application of ‘Photovoltaic + Building’ in County Areas,” marking a groundbreaking initiative to equip 25 selected counties (including districts and towns in Dongguan) with solar-powered buildings.
The concept of “Photovoltaic + Building,” also known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), integrates photovoltaic systems directly into the fabric of buildings, turning them into sustainable energy generators. When photovoltaic arrays are installed on the exterior surfaces of buildings’ envelopes, these structures transform into continuous producers of green electricity, ensuring a reliable supply of power.
This initiative aims to harness solar energy effectively, enhance the energy efficiency of buildings, and significantly reduce carbon emissions. By the end of this year, the 25 pilot regions are expected to add a total installed capacity of no less than 1.25 million kW for new “Photovoltaic + Building” projects.
The range of buildings eligible for this program is diverse, encompassing various public facilities, industrial parks, urban residential complexes, rural houses, and municipal utilities. This comprehensive approach ensures that the benefits of renewable energy are accessible throughout every corner of Guangdong.
