There are 7 solar power stations in China. Solar energy is divided into photovoltaic power generation and photothermal power generation.
Photovoltaic power stations: Shanghai Chongming (1MW), Inner Mongolia Ordos (25KW), Gansu Dunhuang (10MW), Qaidam Basin (1GW), Sichuan Xichang (10MW)
Photothermal power stations: Nanjing Jiangning (7KW), Beijing Yanqing (10MW)
Solar energy refers to the sun’s thermal radiation energy (see the three ways of heat energy transmission). Said sun rays. In modern times, it is generally used to generate electricity or provide energy for water heaters. Since the birth of life on earth, it has mainly relied on the thermal radiation energy provided by the sun. Since ancient times, humans have also known how to use sunlight to dry objects and use it as a method of making food, such as making salt and drying salted fish. With fossil fuels dwindling, solar energy has become an important part of human energy use and continues to develop. There are two ways to utilize solar energy: photothermal conversion and photoelectric conversion. Solar power generation is an emerging renewable energy source. Solar energy in a broad sense also includes wind energy, chemical energy, water energy, etc. on the earth.
