Abstract: This paper measures and compares the economic benefits of different stakeholders under different operational modes in photovoltaic poverty alleviation power stations (PPAPSs) with the actual data in China. After establishing a PPAPSs entire lifetime cost-benefit model, sensitivity analysis is done to determine how much uncertainty variables influence risk. The results show that:1) PPAPSs have positive economic benefits; 2) outsourced operation and maintenance (O&M) is an optimal method; and 3) initial investment and power generation factors are likely to have a volatile impact on financial returns. Based on the results, this paper makes policy recommendations.
