China is the world’s largest producer of solar power!
China is the most heavily populated country on Earth, with a massive population of more than 1.3 billion people. So it is no surprise they are also one of the most contaminated countries in the world! The fact that only 1% of China’s population currently make up the total number of solar energy producers is rather alarming.
But this country has announced a plan to focus on renewable energy. According to China’s National Energy Administration (NEA), the country has doubled the solar energy production in 2016 and they are looking to achieved an increase of renewable energy use to 20% by 2030. To reach this goal, China plans to invest more than $360 billion into their renewable energy projects.
China’s new plan could help to obtain cleaner skies, and help the economy by creating over 13 million jobs. China will have a tremendously good impact on our environment, and it might put some pressure on other nations to achieve necessary goals for a sustainable and cleaner planet.
An exciting claim for China however, is that in Eastern China on the Tibetan Plateau, you will find the Longyangxia Dam Solar Park. This solar park is home to a whopping 4 million solar panels spanned over almost 26 square kilometres of high desert scenery. The structure was initially started in 2013 but has been growing expeditiously, now with the capability to generate 850 megawatts of electricity!
The solar power system is the next generation of clean energy, and like China, many other countries are joining together to save our planet from Climate Change. If you want to be part of the green generation, installing a solar system at your home or business will help to reduce your carbon footprint on the planet.
