Solar burns brightly in dark corners

The Independent  

Chongqing is one of the cities in China with the least sunshine, so perhaps it’s one of the last places you would expect innovation with solar energy to be going on, and yet that’s exactly what’s happening. A crane is used to lift solar panels onto the roof of a building at the No 1 Middle School in Shuangfeng county, Hunan province, on 18 August, 2023 Over 25 years the project is forecast to generate 667 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, reducing the use of standard coal by 240,000 metric tons and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 670,000 tons, Chang’an Auto says. As such, the authorities have adopted measures to significantly move China’s installed capacity of wind and solar power towards a low-carbon, secure and efficient energy mix. “Our rooftop-distributed PV power generation project has already generated more than 160,000 kWh of electricity in less than three months,” said Chen Hao, the company’s deputy property manager. By the end of last year, China’s annual power generation from wind and solar energy accounted for 13.8 per cent of total electricity consumption, the National Energy Administration says.
