High on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, 23,000 heliostats were installed on Saturday in the sprawling Talatan photovoltaic industrial park, the world's largest of its kind.
These heliostats are parts of a 100,000-kilowatt solar and thermal power project, which is expected to generate 223 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The completion marks the conclusion of the mirror field construction.
With the lighting area spanning 700,200 square meters in the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Qinghai Province, the project is scheduled to put into operation in late 2025.
