On March 27, 2026, the Guangdong Provincial Energy Bureau issued a notice.
If you are doing distributed photovoltaics for agricultural buildings in Guangdong, or your money is already on such projects, this notice is probably the policy you can’t miss this year.
It is literally an “exemption order”-it clearly does not require the annual self-generated electricity consumption ratio for a batch of stock projects, opening a way out for projects stuck in the grid-connected dilemma.
But if you only see this side, you may make a completely wrong judgment.
Because this notice is doing another thing at the same time: it uses six conditions to draw a clear historical termination line, telling the market that the era of distributed photovoltaic in agricultural buildings operated with the old logic is over here.
The same document reads opposite signals to different people.
There are three questions behind this notice that are worth thinking about carefully:
First, which side of this line is the project in your hand?
Second, there is a physical red line in the six conditions, and many people are not aware of its existence.
third, Guangdong chose exemption, while inner Mongolia required 80% and Hainan required 50%-the same national policy. why did the provinces go out of such a big gap? What does this gap mean for future new projects?
We have made a complete dismantling of this policy, including:
the six entry conditions are interpreted one by one, which is the iron threshold, which is the easiest to step on the pit
comparison of the proportion of spontaneous self-use in each province
this policy will judge the classification impact of stock projects, new development projects and EPC enterprises
specific operation suggestions, what to do in different situations
April 21, the 2026 Guangdong New Energy Power Development Conference and the 13th Guangdong Photovoltaic Forum will be held in Guangzhou. The conference will focus on the new landscape facing Guangdong’s photovoltaic industry, featuring policy briefings, market analysis, and case-study presentations. Key topics for discussion will include renewable energy grid integration, zero-carbon park development, practical aspects of green electricity trading, and optimal PV–storage deployment ratios for distributed generation systems.
