Sustainable energy makes the world a better place

Flying over Datong, Shanxi Province, you can see two giant pandas waving to the sky. This is an electric farm composed of thousands of solar panels. This 100-megawatt power farm covers an area of more than 100 hectares.

In China’s view, although the scale is still small, it is the beginning of a grand plan that will affect global energy policy and a symbol of a sustainable new energy era for the future.

Human civilization is always accompanied by the development and progress of energy utilization. The sun is the fundamental energy that nurtures all things on earth. The light and heat generated by nuclear fusion on the sun travel for eight and a half minutes, and the positive source is continuously transmitted to the earth.

China has more than 130 gigawatts (1 gigawatt = 1000 megawatts) of solar energy, more than any other country in the world.

Many large solar farms have been built, including the famous 850 MW Longyang gorge on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, with 4 million solar panels. At present, the world’s largest solar power plant is located in China’s Tengger Desert, with a power generation capacity of more than 1500 MW.

China is now the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panel technology, and more than 60% of the world’s solar panels are made in China.

On the vast sunny plains in the north and northwest of China, it has become the location of huge solar power plants. There is a lot of space to build them. Solar energy resources are also very reliable and stable.

The construction speed there is an amazing development. Solar heating technology can even melt permafrost and try to plant vegetation in no man’s land such as Tibet to attract population migration.

China’s strong investment in solar power generation began to pay off. Its influence is not limited to domestic projects. Chinese people have appeared in several large solar power plants under construction on earth.
