In a large-scale rural energy transformation initiative, 1,750 households in Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, have been upgraded with heat pipe solar collector systems. This project is part of a broader effort to transition rural communities to sustainable, clean energy heating solutions during the winter season.
Project Overview
Location: Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province
Target: 1750 rural households
Technology: Heat Pipe Solar Collector System
Objective: Winter clean heating retrofitting
Heat pipe solar collectors are particularly effective in northern China’s cold regions. Their rapid heat transfer, antifreeze capabilities, and high thermal efficiency make them ideal for off-grid and rural residential use.
Each household received a rooftop-mounted solar heating system with heat pipe solar collectors installed on tiled or metal roofs, seamlessly integrating with existing heating infrastructure or standalone water tanks with built-in electric backups.
By adopting solar heating systems, these 1750 homes reduce or eliminate the need for coal, significantly cutting down PM2.5 emissions and improving indoor and outdoor air quality. This project supports China’s national policy of “清洁取暖” (clean winter heating), aligned with the country’s dual-carbon goals.
✅ Efficient solar absorption even during sub-zero temperatures
✅ Long lifespan with low maintenance
✅ Modular design for easy rooftop installation
✅ Significant fuel cost savings for rural families
✅ Contribution to air pollution reduction in winter
This rural solar heating project showcases how scalable and replicable heat pipe solar collector technology can be for household-level heating retrofits across northern China and similar global regions. Whether it’s for public procurement, NGO-backed programs, or off-grid electrification efforts, solar heating systems offer a cost-effective and environmentally sound path forward.
