Once the station is connected to the grid, it is forecast to save about 960,000 tons of standard coal and cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 2.62 million tons a year.
The solar power plant is built on coal mine goafs (disused areas of mines where minerals have been partially or completely removed), representing a highly successful brownfield conversion project and contributing to China’s energy transition.
Solar power tailored to local conditions
Additionally, the project has adopted solar power tailored to local conditions to make the most of land resources, including subsidence areas and barren hills and slopes. The development of new energy sources has been integrated with environmentally friendly mining management techniques, Trina Solar stated.

These measures guarantee the local provision of clean electricity, and promote greener operating methods in the long term. This will speed up the transition of subsidence-prone regions to renewable energy usage, while making full use of brownfield sites no longer deemed fit for mining activity.
Intense solar radiation – rigorous PV module selection process
The Ningxia region receives copious sunshine and intense radiation, providing ideal conditions for developing solar energy. When planning the scheme, the project owner conducted a rigorous module selection process, considering the need for dependable, high-efficiency energy generation with minimal environmental impact. This led to Trina Solar’s “golden-size” modules with 210mm cell technology being selected.
Did you miss that? Vertex modules for solar parks
Vertex N 700W modules and Vertex p-type 670W modules jointly guarantee highly efficient, reliable power generation, a stable supply of green energy and low LCOE, according to the company. The 210mm product technology platform would have a proven track record among global customers, offering high durability and consistent performance in diverse settings including sinkholes, gullies and mountains.
