China is undertaking a significant green energy project by constructing a massive solar panel installation in the northern region of Inner Mongolia. This project, dubbed the 'photovoltaic Great Wall,' consists of 3.46 million blue solar panels stretching across the northern edge of the Kubuqi Desert, covering an area of 30 million square meters in Chaideng of Ordos. This initiative is part of China's broader efforts to transition to clean energy, as the country is the largest global investor in this sector. The solar installation aims to transform the desert landscape into a 'photovoltaic sea,' contributing to the country's ambitious solar energy and desert reclamation goals.
