5 million solar panels are being installed to create a massive solar power plant. This project, expected to be completed by the end of 2023, will be the largest solar power plant in China. The project, known as the “Chaideng Solar Power Plant,” is a significant step towards China’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
The city has also invested in wind power, with 1.5 million kilowatts of capacity installed. This investment has been instrumental in reducing the city’s reliance on coal-fired power plants. The city’s commitment to renewable energy is not limited to solar and wind power. It has also invested in hydropower, with 1.2 million kilowatts of capacity installed.
The use of bifacial technology allows for increased energy production by capturing sunlight from the ground and the sky. This technology is particularly beneficial in desert environments where the ground is often covered with sand, which reflects sunlight effectively. Furthermore, high-efficiency cells are crucial for maximizing power output. These cells are designed to convert sunlight into electricity with minimal energy loss, resulting in higher energy production.
