The solar plant is connected to the world''s first ultra-high voltage power line which gets all of its power from renewable energy and is capable of transferring power over 1000 km.
The region belongs to the "very rich belt" of solar energy resources. The area has strong sunlight in summer and weak in winter; strong at noon and weak in morning and evening.
China is using the high-altitude expanse for immense solar panel farms and wind turbines and has begun work on the world''s largest hydroelectric dams.
China''s solar energy production is reaching simply staggering levels, dragging energy costs down around the globe.
Sichuan Liangshan Butuo Baoguping solar farm is an operating solar photovoltaic (PV) farm in Baoguping Town, Butuo, Liangshan AP, Sichuan, China.

Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China''s first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate. Other research institutions continued the development and research of sola
As a result, BPP currently boasts a total power generation capacity of 1,185.40 MWe across 11 projects in China, with solar power generation accounting for roughly 20% of its total assets in the country.
A strong growth in solar power is projected to drive the expansion of China''s renewable energy generation capacity in 2026, even as average wind power utilization hours decrease slightly
