Smart Agrivoltaic Power Plant in Ningxia: Turning a Desert
Since 2016, Huawei and Baofeng Group have jointly built large PV power plants over the goji plantations. The solar panels have cut evaporation from the soil by 30–40% and increased
In the Kubuqi Desert of Inner Mongolia, the State Power Investment Corporation used Huawei's smart PV solution to build a 300 MW solar power station. The power station located in Dalad Banner, an administrative region in Inner Mongolia, boasts 196,000 solar panels that were installed in the pattern of a galloping horse.
Huawei has deep engineering knowhow in solar power generation, storage, consumption, and management. This expertise partly derives from the company's deployment of base stations at isolated sites worldwide that aren't hooked up to the power grid.
Local residents have been able to plant herbs and shrubs under the panels and cash crops like desert false indigo and Mongolian milk vetch between the arrays. This prevents further erosion of the land between the panel arrays and contributes to wind and sand fixation and ecosystem restoration.
