In China, a large part of the solar power capacity is installed in the west of the country in the form of large PV power plants. This area has better solar resources and available land, despite being less populated than the eastern part.
As of the end of 2020, China's total installed photovoltaic capacity was 253 GW. This accounts for one-third of the world's total installed photovoltaic capacity (760.4 GW). 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. Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country.
Land is a fundamental resource for the deployment of PV systems, and PV power projects are established on various types of land. As of the end of 2022, China has amassed an impressive 390 million kW of installed PV capacity, occupying approximately 0.8 million km2 of land .
With the continuous growth in the number and scale of installed PV power stations in China, the demand for land dedicated to PV is also on the rise . By the year 2060, it is projected that China's PV installed capacity will exceed 3 billion kW [5, 6].
