How many kilowatts of photovoltaic power will China produce in 2022?

It is estimated that 108 million kilowatts photovoltaic power generation will be added to the grid in 2022, with a year-on-year increase of 95.9 percent. Up till now, China has become a promoter and leader of global photovoltaic industry development, said the NEA.

What is a 100 megawatt power plant?

The project marks the country's latest approach toward harnessing two green energy sources in a complementary manner for power generation. With an installed capacity of 100 megawatts, the power plant ensures more stability for the utilization of renewable energy.

How many kWh is a solar power plant?

The power plant has been built on over 133 hectares with 185,000 installed photovoltaic modules. Its annual output will be over 100 million kWh to meet the annual electricity demand of about 30,000 urban households.

Why is a 100 megawatt solar power plant important?

With an installed capacity of 100 megawatts, the power plant ensures more stability for the utilization of renewable energy. Since solar energy supply is intermittent and unavailable when the sun goes down, tidal waves could replace it by supplying power during the night. Moon's gravity causes tides in the oceans.
