4 FAQs about Land for wind and solar complementary use of rural communication base stations

What is residential land?

Residential land encompasses both urban and rural residential land, with a combined installed capacity of 14,224.93 kW, primarily consisting of distributed solar PV (DSPV) . DSPV systems are more suitable for installation on residential rooftops compared to large PV power stations (LSPV) .

How much power can a rural PV system generate?

Assuming an average household PV installed capacity of 20 KW, the total capacity of the rural household PV could reach 1000 GW, with a market value of more than 3 trillion CNY, equivalent to 45 Three Gorges Reservoir power stations, and saving 40 million mu of land, and generating 350,000 jobs [64, 153].

Is solar energy a land based project in China?

While most PV projects in China are land-based due to solar energy's dispersed nature, there's an increasing focus on maximizing 'water' resources like oceans, lakes, reservoirs, and subsidence zones to improve land use efficiency .

Which type of land is suitable for solar PV installation?

These special types of land, often with harsh natural environment, low land utilization rate and abundant solar radiation, are more suitable for large area installation of PV facilities, with green energy to drive innovative applications and land transformation, to achieve simultaneous development of economic and ecological benefits.
