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?
