April 16, the Sino-Japanese cooperation in large-scale photovoltaic power plant projects successfully completed empirical research, marking the province into the city power grid solar photovoltaic technology has reached the international advanced level.

In recent years, the province has increased efforts to support the PV industry, construction of solar photovoltaic industry base, production base of solar power will become the province's future development goals, solar energy will become the province's nascent fifth pillar industries.

With industrial development, in the conventional energy shortages, rapid economic development and the global environment deteriorating triple pressure, dc to ac power inverter energy resources has been the world's attention, the photovoltaic industry with an average annual growth rate of 35%.

Qinghai is the most abundant solar energy resources in China one of the provinces, the annual average sunshine 2500 hours to 3650 hours, with other provinces outside the TAR incomparable advantages in resources, and the province has been basically formed from silicon - silicon - monocrystalline silicon - ingot - slice - solar cell manufacturing - components of the package - integrated photovoltaic system more complete PV industry chain, has become the center of the western development of photovoltaic industry.

Back in the 1980s, Qinghai Province began in the vast rural and pastoral areas to promote small solar panels cookers, heating room, Livestock Cattle and other solar thermal project and select parts of the construction of solar photovoltaic power plant demonstration project. At present, the province has built 108 independent solar photovoltaic power plants, photovoltaic cumulative installed capacity of about eight thousand kilovolts.

Meanwhile, several roads in Xining and community adopts solar lights, garden lights, lawn. With the new countryside, new construction of pastoral areas, but also in Golmud City, Airport Road, flower soil Town, West Town and other places to build solar street lamp demonstration project to improve agricultural and pastoral areas with energy methods, improving people's living standards.
