How many ground-mounted PV power stations are there in China?

According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.

Does PV power station deployment promote desert greening in China?

In general, the desert greening (with a significant increase in vegetation) in China from PV power station deployment is largely promoted by the policy-driven Photovoltaic Desert Control Projects. However, the human activities effects on vegetation are often superimposed on the long-term climate-driven variations.

Do misclassified PV power plants still exist in China?

A large number of misclassified PV power plants due to commission errors in the machine learning step still exists in China. After transferring the pixel clusters to objects of vectors, we have spent dozens of hours on visual interpretation work to filter the misclassification regions with commission error.

What is remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale photovoltaic power stations in China?

We provide a remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations in China of 2020, which has high spatial resolution of 10 meters. The dataset is based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform via random forest classifier and active learning strategy.

How many village-level PV power stations have been built in Ningxia?

Local authorities in Ningxia have built 345 village-level PV poverty alleviation power stations in Haiyuan County, Yuanzhou District, Xiji County, Pengyang County, Hongsipu District among others, with a total scale of 119,000 kilowatts, all adopted Huawei's smart PV solution.

Can solar power help Hongde villagers in hongsipu district?

Liu Keyin, deputy secretary of the CPC Committee of Hongde village in Hongsipu District, told the Global Times that local solar station has brought stable income to the village for three consecutive years, which was used to help the disabled, disadvantaged groups, and families with extremely serious diseases, and subsidize college students.
