Solar photovoltaic power generation in North China
China plans to install 253 GW of solar capacity and restore more than 670,000 hectares of degraded land by 2030 under a large-scale desert PV program in its northern and northwestern regions. It aims to curb desertification and expand renewable energy deployment. However, effective promotion of PV generation relies not only on enhancing generation efficiency but also on thorough evaluations of construction suitability. This study. . HOHHOT — In Chaideng village in Ordos city, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, 3. 46 million blue solar panels stretch across the desert, covering 30 square kilometers, transforming the endless sands into a shimmering "photovoltaic sea". Its PV capacity crossed 1,000 gigawatt (one terawatt, 1 TW) in May 2025.
