On the Kubuqi's horizon appears a galloping horse made up of over 196,000 PV modules. It is the Junma Solar Power Station. Junma means "fine horse" in Chinese. The Junma Solar Power Station not only powers the region with sustainable energy, it is also part of a larger revitalization program fighting desertification.

Can a photovoltaic power station be built in the desert?

"Building a photovoltaic power station in the desert is not easy, and requirement for solar equipment is higher due to the windy and sandy environment in the desert," Miao Ruijun, deputy head of Mengxi New Energy Dalad Photovoltaic Power Station in SPIC Nei Mongol Energy Co, told the Global Times at the site on Saturday.

How green is Junma solar power station?

By the end of November 2022, the Junma Solar Power Station had generated a total of 2.543 billion kWh of green electricity, which is equivalent to saving 840,000 tons of coal and reducing 2.03 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. It also helped green about 10.7 square kilometers of desert areas.

How to manage a solar power station in the desert?

Miao noted that to better manage running of the station in the desert environment and save personnel needed onsite, it has adopted smart PV solutions provided by Huawei Technologies, including solar inverters, power carrier communication (PLC), intelligent IV diagnosis, as well as intelligent photovoltaic management system.
