In 2025, the total newly installed capacity of photovoltaic power across the country reached 317 million kilowatts, representing a year-on-year growth of 14%. Among them, one change is worth noting: the newly installed capacity of household photovoltaic power was 45.95GW, up 55% year-on-year, accounting for 14.5%. While centralized and industrial and commercial systems are advancing at a rapid pace, household installations are quietly making a comeback.

It is well known that over the past decade or so, China's distributed photovoltaic industry, especially the household market, has experienced several ups and downs. From the chaotic battle to the healthy iteration, from the 1.0 era to the 2.0 era, under the coordinated efforts of multiple forces, the industry is accelerating forward.

Has the predicament of farmers improved with the industrial iteration?

The annual rent is 500 yuan, the lease term is 25 years, and the power station belongs to the enterprise - this is a true portrayal of the current "renting rooftops" model for household photovoltaic systems.

Farmers receive meager rent. The contract is signed for 25 years, but the property rights do not belong to them. When the lease ended, the power station aged and was demolished, leaving nothing behind for the farmers. The rooftops belong to the farmers, but most of the profits have been taken by others.

Up to now, we should offer farmers more choices, bring more warmth to the sun, and transform farmers from "landlords" to "shareholders".

Renting a roof: A reluctant choice with low returns

In recent years, household photovoltaic systems have quietly emerged in rural areas. Many farmers, upon hearing that "rooftops can be profitable", signed "roof rental" contracts with enterprises.

So, what is "renting a roof"? In simple terms, it means that enterprises lease farmers' rooftops to install photovoltaic power stations, and farmers receive a fixed rent every year. Take the construction of a sunroom and photovoltaic system on a 100-square-meter roof as an example. The annual rent is only about 500 to 750 yuan, and the total over 25 years is no more than 10,000 yuan. More importantly, during the 25-year period, the property rights of the power station always belonged to the enterprise, and the farmers were merely "landlords", not "shareholders".

Behind what seems like "making money while lying down" lies the increasingly prominent market chaos.

With the rapid expansion of the household photovoltaic market, various enterprises are competing for market share. High intermediary fees and channel costs are constantly pushing up non-technical costs to 40-50%, posing a huge hidden danger. For enterprises to recover their investment and make profits, what they leave to farmers is only a "fraction", eroding the already meager income. The contract terms are complex and cumbersome, often leaving farmers confused. As a result, there is an imbalance in later operation and maintenance and income distribution, leading to frequent disputes and affecting the future income of the power station.

Many farmers have reported that although their rooftops have been rented out and power stations have been installed, they have not reaped much benefit.

The essence of the problem lies in the fact that farmers are passive lessors of resources, not the owners of future power generation income.

How can farmers' rooftops be made more valuable?

Nowadays, installing photovoltaic systems on rural rooftops is no longer a novelty. The business of making money by generating electricity through photovoltaic panels has long entered thousands of villages and households.

However, many farmers still have reservations about photovoltaic power generation. "Is there radiation?" This is the most concerned issue for many farmers. In fact, the core of the entire photovoltaic power generation process is the conversion of "light energy to electrical energy", which does not involve combustion, emission or nuclear reactions. It is like a "solar converter" and does not produce harmful radiation by itself. This is also one of the core advantages of photovoltaic power as a clean energy source. Moreover, previously, CCTV News also specifically mentioned that the online rumor that solar panels release harmful electromagnetic radiation is false!

On the contrary, photovoltaic panels constructed to high standards can also protect the roof, play a role in heat insulation and waterproofing, and extend the lifespan of the house.

What benefits can photovoltaic power bring?

Taking a household in Anhui Province with 50 photovoltaic panels as an example, the annual power generation is approximately 37,000 kilowatt-hours, and the annual income can reach several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. This sum of money is a real additional income for rural families, which can cover their basic living expenses for a year.

Not only that, usually a photovoltaic power station has a service life of over 25 to 30 years and is a family asset that can be left to future generations.

"Ten years of power station delivery!" From "landlord" to "shareholder

What is "Ten-Year power Station Delivery"?

Free power station construction: Farmers do not need to contribute funds, take out loans or deposit money. They only need to provide clear and definite property rights certificates.

  • In the first ten years, farmers enjoy rent or free electricity.

  • Ten years later, the power station will go to the farmers: Ten years later, the majority of the power station's revenue will go to the farmers.

After the power station is handed over to the owner, the enterprise still provides operation and maintenance as well as management services for the power station. The entire process is worry-free, allowing the owner to enjoy the benefits in peace.

At present, the two models of Tongyuan New Energy provide users with more diverse choice demands.

  • Full Internet access mode

Suitable for families with low electricity consumption. All the electricity generated is sold to the State Grid, and the revenue is fixed and stable.

  • "Electricity Worry-free Mode"

Suitable for families that consume a lot of electricity. During the day, we use the electricity we generate at home. If we don't use it up, we sell it. The more we use, the more we save! Revenue comparison: The revenue from power generation far exceeds that of the traditional leasing model

Take a villager's home in Anhui Province as an example: 50 photovoltaic panels were installed, generating approximately 37,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. By adopting the self-generated and self-consumed model, at least 500 yuan in electricity fees can be saved each year for the first ten years. Ten years later (when Brother Wang is 55 years old), the power station will be his own. It is estimated that he can receive an annual electricity fee income of 7,000 yuan until he is 75 years old. The cumulative income over 20 years is approximately 145,000 yuan.

In contrast, the traditional "renting a roof" model offers a cumulative rent of only about 12,500 yuan for a roof of the same area over 25 years. The revenue from the ten-year power station delivery model is nearly ten times that of the traditional rent!

Future value-added: Not only power generation, but also participation in the electricity market

Tongyuan New Energy's vision is not only to ensure that every household has a power station, but also to "accumulate sand into a tower" these scattered rooftop power stations in thousands of villages and households, forming a large-scale energy matrix.

In the future electricity market, scale will be the right to speak.

When hundreds of thousands or even millions of rooftop power stations are connected together, they are no longer isolated power generation units but a huge "green energy community". This community has stable power generation capacity, dispatchable flexibility, and bargaining power in participating in market transactions.

This means that your power station will not only generate electricity steadily but also make more and more profits in the future electricity market.

Five major advantages, all in one place

In the current era when distributed photovoltaic power is moving towards high-quality development, the sustainability of products, asset value and user benefits have become the true yardsticks for measuring models. The reason why Tongyuan New Energy's "Ten-Year Power Station Delivery" has drawn industry attention lies in its breakthrough of the growth logic of the traditional leasing model and the establishment of a more inclusive and long-term valuable user participation mechanism. Its five core values are worthy of deep reflection by the industry:

Zero-cost investment, no financial pressure

Farmers only need to provide clear and definite property rights certificates, without the need for investment, loans or deposits, truly achieving "zero-cost participation and zero-risk returns".

The returns far exceed those of the traditional photovoltaic leasing model

The cumulative electricity revenue of a photovoltaic power station over 30 years is nearly ten times higher than the rental income from traditional leasing. It is a truly reliable product for rural revitalization.

Brand guarantee + full life cycle management, lifetime warranty

From equipment to construction, the entire process is strictly controlled to ensure that farmers can install with confidence and use with peace of mind.

High-standard construction, both aesthetically pleasing and waterproof

By adopting high-standard construction techniques, the support system is closely integrated with the roof, not only without damaging the original waterproof layer but also providing additional protection.

Heat insulation and energy conservation, extending the lifespan of houses

Photovoltaic panels can effectively block direct sunlight in summer, lower the indoor temperature by 3 to 5 degrees, and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioners. It plays a role in keeping warm in winter.

The key to rural revitalization lies in providing farmers with stable and sustainable sources of income. For the vast rural areas, they are not short of rooftops or sunlight; what they lack is a mechanism to turn sunlight into cash.

The "Ten-Year Power Station Delivery" model of Tongyuan New Energy precisely uses sunlight as a medium to transform farmers from passive resource renters into true sharers of future benefits.

Let the sunlight truly belong to you and let the income from power generation safeguard your future.
