"I use electricity for cooking, I don't burn wood, and I don't even need liquefied gas!" Mr. Zhang is a beneficiary of photovoltaic poverty alleviation in Qiguzhang Village, Changjia Town, Gaoqing County. The reporter stood at the head of Qiguzhang Village and saw that the contiguous photovoltaic panels were shining under the sunlight.

Kiguzhang Village is located in the Economic Development Zone of Gaoqing County. It used to be a piece of saline-alkali land, and now it is a group of photovoltaic power generation panels. There are nearly 800 residents in the village, and the main source of income for the villagers is planting and animal husbandry. How to make villagers live happier? How to improve the economic benefits of villagers? In March 2016, five national departments jointly issued opinions on the implementation of photovoltaic power generation poverty alleviation work. According to the requirements of the opinions, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission actively organized districts and counties to focus on the development of small village-level photovoltaic poverty alleviation power stations, and Kiguzhang Village was listed on the list of poverty alleviation.

At the registration meeting in the spring of 2017, the villagers learned that the project was an investment first and then benefited. In early April of that year, Zibo took the initiative to provide door-to-door service explanations, and installed photovoltaic power stations for all 128 villagers in the village.

Relying on mature photovoltaic technology and management, Qiguzhang Village can realize an annual income of more than 2.4 million yuan, and the photovoltaic project has brought long-term stable income to the villagers. Li Jianlun, secretary of the village party branch, calculated an account for the reporter: "Assuming that each household can install a 10KW rooftop photovoltaic power station on average, each household can increase its income by 12,740 yuan per year."

"Henderson Photovoltaic" helped the villagers to increase their income and the economic strength of the village was also enhanced. In the past two years, the two committees of Qiguzhang Village have actively strived for 1.7 million yuan of financial funds at all levels and raised 500,000 yuan by themselves to beautify the whole village and build a villager service center and a cultural park square. Today, in the village, there are rows of bungalows with red tiles and white walls, and hardened roads lead directly to the households. Trees are shady and flowers are embellished. The living conditions of the villagers have been fully upgraded.

It is reported that up to now, the city has built a total of 139 grid-connected village-level photovoltaic poverty alleviation power stations, benefiting a total of 22,427 provincial poverty-stricken households. In addition, 4 centralized photovoltaic power stations participated in poverty alleviation in the form of subsidizing the village collective where the power station is located, and subsidizing the income of the township government's investment to subsidize the poor households. As of 2019, the city's annual poverty alleviation income reached more than 10 million yuan.

Reporter's Notes: The construction of photovoltaic power stations in impoverished villages not only saves energy and protects the environment, but also makes the roof "gold". Kiguzhang Village, Changjia Town, Gaoqing County, according to local conditions, built a veritable photovoltaic village in the city, which not only raised the money bags of farmers, but also solved the problem of low collective income in the village. Photovoltaic power generation has illuminated the road to rural prosperity. .
