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.
PV still has significant potential for further development in China, particularly in regions abundant in solar energy resources like northwest China (Lin et al.,2022). Driven by the continued decarbonization of energy structure, the growth of PV installations is expected to keep a rapid pace in the future (Ovaitt et al.,2022).
Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports. China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history.
China continues its relentless expansion of solar power capacity, now home to the world’s largest solar plant. The 2.2 gigawatt facility spans an area of over 25 square kilometers in the Gobi desert. This $3 billion flagship project demonstrates the epic scale of renewable infrastructure developing worldwide.
This allows the shipments to avoid trade barriers, like tariffs imposed on many Chinese imports by President Donald J. Trump. Several of China’s biggest solar panel manufacturers are building final assembly plants in the United States to tap subsidies offered as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
On rooftops and sometimes the south-facing walls of apartment towers, solar panel installations soak up the sun’s energy. China has invested heavily in high-voltage transmission lines to move electricity from wind turbines and solar panel farms to energy-thirsty cities. Gilles Sabrié for The New York Times
