Shanghai, China: New residential photovoltaic capacity exceeds 100,000 kilowatts from 2023 to 2025

Main principles to follow：

• The first is overall planning and integrated advancement. Organically integrate photovoltaic development with urban renewal and construction, promote the simultaneous design and construction of residential buildings and photovoltaic facilities, and make full, orderly and efficient use of urban residential building resources.

• The second is legal compliance and unified responsibilities and rights. According to the classification of different types of roof property rights, the division of responsibilities for photovoltaic construction and operation should be streamlined, power generation income should be properly distributed, the legal rights of house owners should be protected, and win-win development should be achieved for all parties.

• The third is innovation-led and economical and efficient. Leverage Shanghai’s advantages in energy technology and equipment, strengthen innovation in high-efficiency photovoltaic cell technology, photovoltaic building integration, and intelligent operation and maintenance technology, and create photovoltaic demonstrations for residential buildings that meet the development needs of very large cities.

• The fourth is the cooperation between government and enterprises and social participation. Improve the top-level design of systems and mechanisms, and improve technical standards and supporting policies. Guide various market entities to practice the concept of green development and proactively support and actively participate in the development and construction of photovoltaic residential buildings.
