Abstract: The 14th Five-Year Plan for renewable energy development proposes that renewable energy should achieve high-quality leapfrog development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The rapid development of integrated energy services has created more market opportunities for photovoltaics, and the photovoltaic (PV) industry has entered a new stage. In this study, from the perspective of stakeholders of a PV micro-grid under integrated energy services, a decision model for a PV micro-grid business model was established with the help of fuzzy mathematical theory. The MATLAB platform was used to carry out the decision analysis and simulation of the PV micro-grid business model. The simulation results showed that the self-consumption business model had the best overall performance among the current three different business models. It was also the business model with the highest comprehensive correlation with the government, power grids, investors, and users. Studying the best business model for PV micro-grids under integrated energy services has practical significance as it provides guidance and promotes faster and better development of PV micro-grids under integrated energy services.
