Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
Located in Fuyang City of east China's Anhui Province, the new PV power station is constructed in a flooded area once used for coal mining of 867 hectares, with an overall installed gross capacity of 650,000 KW. With 1.2 million PV modules, the solar farm boasts an area equivalent to the size of 1,300 standard football fields.
The C919 aircraft and the Kela photovoltaic power station. /CMG More than 2 million photovoltaic modules were assembled, and the components can cover the area of three Beijing Daxing International Airports, with a transportation distance of 2,400 kilometers, spanning half of China.
Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China's first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate.
Since China is responsible for 80% of the world's polysilicon production, with half of the world's polysilicon produced in Xinjiang, many critics of the forced labor usage have stated that it is difficult for many countries to avoid Chinese made solar power solutions.
In the first nine months of 2017, China saw 43 GW of solar energy installed in the first nine months of the year and saw a total of 52.8 GW of solar energy installed for the entire year. 2017 is currently the year with the largest addition of solar energy capacity in China.
