Transition to Solar Power Prosumers: Climate Change and Rural Residential Rooftop PV diffusion Peking university Climate change increases household energy burdens, disrupts electricity supply, and disproportionately harms vulnerable rural populations. However, little is known about how rural households adapt extreme weather shocks in electricity markets. Using fine-scale data on rural residential rooftop PV (RRPV) installations, electricity generation, and consumption form China, we find that extreme heat increases RRPV adoption under net metering, shifting rural households from net consumers to prosumers as a climate adaptation strategy, with storage enabling electricity autarky. This shift is driven by rising electricity costs and outage concerns, with stronger effects in regions with greater temperature fluctuations. We find no income-based differences in adoption rates, likely due to favorable PV loans and intergenerational transfer. Our findings highlight that RRPV can improve welfare and underscore the need to consider short-term behavioral responses in climate impact assessments and RRPV policy design. | |
