China’s 3 GW solar plant with nearly 6,000,000 panels to power millions of homes

With nearly 6 million panels, the project will prevent release of 4.7 million tons of CO2 every year.

The Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station is also special because it hosts the first large-scale outdoor solar testing base in the Gobi desert, helping China gather more data on setting up solar power plants in challenging environments.
