4 Frequently Asked Questions about "15 solar power stations in China"

How big is China's ground-mounted solar power station?

The tool shows China ground mounted solar facilities occupied a surface of 2,467.7 km2 at the end of December 2020. Scientists led by the China Agricultural University have created a national-scale map and dataset of ground-mounted PV power stations in China.

Why do we provide a 10-m map for China's PV power stations?

To sum up, we provide a 10-m map for China's PV power stations to provide reference data to understand the spatial pattern of China's PV industry. The dataset could also be used for other applications such as prediction of PV's generating capacity and site selection for newly built PV power stations.

Does China have a spatial map of PV power stations?

Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China's PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV's spatial deployment patterns.

Which land is used for PV power stations in China?

Fig. 1 Examples of PV power stations in China. The land used for PV power stations includes gobi (left), grassland (top), water bodies (right), mountain land (bottom), etc. The objective of this study is to provide the first publicly released 10-m national map of ground-mounted PV power stations of China in 2020.
