In 2009, the construction of China's largest grid-connected solar power plant will begin in Qinghai's Qaidam Basin, with an initial investment of around 1 billion yuan.
The solar power station will have a total installed capacity of 1 gigawatt, or 1,000 megawatts, of power. It will be the first plant in China to use photovoltaic cell arrays that combine amorphous silicon thin films and crystalline silicon, and will be China's largest grid-connected photovoltaic power station at present.
Currently located in Qaidam Basin is China's largest regional experimental zone for circular economy and a good base of electrical power.
Large grids basically cover the entire area, which enjoys about 3,000 hours of sunshine annually on average, making it an ideal location in the desert to build the large-scale grid-connected solar power station.
