4 FAQs about Idle land solar power generation project

Is solar energy a land based project in China?

While most PV projects in China are land-based due to solar energy's dispersed nature, there's an increasing focus on maximizing 'water' resources like oceans, lakes, reservoirs, and subsidence zones to improve land use efficiency .

Should PV projects occupy arable land in 2022?

In 2022, a national notice mandated that PV projects on agricultural land shouldn't encroach on arable or forest land . Regions like Hebei, Henan and Xinjiang subsequently declared that PV projects shouldn't occupy arable land .

Will PV project develop on agricultural land?

First, PV will gradually withdraw on agricultural land. In the face of the strictest arable land protection system, PV project development should avoid competing with food and other crops for light sources, and comply with the national guarantee of arable land retention and permanent basic farmland requirements.

Can solar power be used on arable land?

Building PV on arable land can alleviate the conflict between people and land and promote sustainable social development [96, 97]. In Gansu, China, a 1.61-ha PV farm grows crops like cilantro, peppers and tomatoes, using panels to reduce evaporation and save over 50 % water.
