OverviewFacility detailsElectricity productionSee alsoExternal links

Golmud CPV Solar Park is a 138 MWp (~110 MWAC) concentrator photovoltaics power station located near Golmud City in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China. It is the largest operating CPV facility in the world, and was constructed in two phases by Suncore Photovoltaics starting in 2012. It is situated at an elevation of about 2,800 meters (9,200 ft) on the Tibetan plateau near the Gobi Desert with several other conventional photovoltaic power stations.

Super-efficient solar cells: 10 Breakthrough

In May, UK-based Oxford PV said it had reached an efficiency of 28.6% for a commercial-size perovskite tandem cell, which is significantly larger than those used to test the materials in the lab

Giving PV panels a "shower" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Since the Gobi Desert turns more arid in winter, the PV panels are often covered with a layer of dust after a long period of time, needing people to give them a "shower." After
