Abstract: The paper reviews the Chinese policies on promoting building-integrated solar water heaters (SWHs) in urbanized areas and the corresponding experiences in implementing city-level demonstration programs using the Changjiang River (CJR) region as a study area. The progress of implementation, barriers, and effective promotion models are discussed. Furthermore, the installation potential of the SWHs in the study area are analyzed and compared with the achievements made to date. Finally, detailed policy recommendations are presented.
