Farmer Shi Mei walks near solar panels on her rooftop in the rural outskirts of Jinan in eastern China's Shandong province on March 21, 2024. The Shi family is on the leading edge of a solar boom in China, which has long dominated global solar manufacturing but didn't always install a lot of it at home. She gets paid for every watt of electricity generated. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)
