Since 2018, households that choose to adopt solar panels receive a subsidy of only 0.37 RMB/kWh for each kilowatt-hour of PV power generated. The electricity price for residents in Tianjin is 0.49 RMB/kWh. The reduced subsidy of 0.05 RMB/kWh accounts for nearly 10% of the electricity price, indicating a substantial reduction in the subsidy.

The announcement of subsidy phase-out led to a larger energy “rebound effect”. They adjusted electricity usage patterns to maximize revenue from solar electricity. With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies.
