4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Songbai Solar Power Generation"

Why is the Gobi Desert a great place for solar power?

This intense dryness, as well as the abundant sunlight of more than 3,000 hours a year, make the Gobi Desert an excellent environment for large-scale solar power generation. The incredible solar-thermal power station reportedly features two 656-feet-high (200 meters) towers, each surrounded by a vast field of 27,000 mirrors known as heliostats.

Why is China launching a solar power project?

For China, the project represents a strategic evolution in the country's renewable energy landscape. The east Asian country rapidly expanded its solar and wind capacity in the past decade, particularly across its western provinces of Gansu, Xinjiang, and Qinghai.

Can a photovoltaic power station be built in the desert?

"Building a photovoltaic power station in the desert is not easy, and requirement for solar equipment is higher due to the windy and sandy environment in the desert," Miao Ruijun, deputy head of Mengxi New Energy Dalad Photovoltaic Power Station in SPIC Nei Mongol Energy Co, told the Global Times at the site on Saturday.
