Entering 2022, in the field of distributed photovoltaics, there has been a constant call for rooftop photovoltaics to be "built wherever possible" and "renovated wherever possible".  

In the past month, in addition to clarifying the key points and installed capacity targets for photovoltaic development in the next few years in the *14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development*, various provinces and cities have also made more detailed arrangements for how to further promote photovoltaic power generation in different application scenarios. This includes Hunan, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong and other regions.  

What provinces and cities say:
