Cleaning of photovoltaic solar panels in Inner Mongolia

What is China's largest environmental desert control photovoltaic project?

China's largest environmental desert control photovoltaic (PV) project in the Kubuqi desert, North China's Inner Mongolia, has connected to the grid. The 100,000-mu (6,666 hectares) project is providing clean energy for China's power grid while helping improve the environment of the desert, showing China's latest efforts at eco-development.

Will 1GW of solar and wind projects in Inner Mongolia reduce waste?

In announcing the commencement of 1GW of solar and wind projects in Inner Mongolia today, the Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy Co. noted that by co-locating assets, it plans to “reduce the waste of wind and solar power resources.” The 1GW of projects include a 500MW combined solar and wind facility at Abag Banner Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia.

Can solar panels be used in the desert?

This environmental desert control system is a new use for PV. PV panels in the desert can collect enough dew to provide water for ecological restoration and develop agriculture under the panels, Tong Zhongming, general manager of Zhengzhou Ximei High-tech Energy Technology, told Global Times on Sunday.

Why is China building a solar power plant?

The construction comes as China - already a world leader in renewable energy innovation and production - has been ambitiously expanding its solar and wind power projects across the country to achieve clean climate targets over the past years.

What is China doing with solar energy & sand control?

Since 2017, the Chinese government has demonstrated a heightened focus on modes such as “solar energy + sand control” and “solar energy + ecological restoration,” accompanied by the implementation of a series of policies designed to foster the development of desert ecological PV plants.

How to manage a solar power station in the desert?

Miao noted that to better manage running of the station in the desert environment and save personnel needed onsite, it has adopted smart PV solutions provided by Huawei Technologies, including solar inverters, power carrier communication (PLC), intelligent IV diagnosis, as well as intelligent photovoltaic management system.
