Solar panels sitting atop a man-made lake in Huainan, China, make up the world’s largest floating solar farm. Sungrow Huainan Solar Farm is capable of producing enough electricity to power 15,000 homes and floats above an area formerly used for coal mining.

Two pandas are formed by solar panels at the Panda Green Energy power plant in Datong, Shanxi Province, northern China. Built in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program, this solar farm covers roughly 1,500 acres and includes an education center that teaches children about sustainable and renewable energy.

Solar panels cover the hillsides of Tumencun, a small township in China's Henan Province. In 2017, China accounted for more than half of the world's investment in solar energy, putting forth $86.5 billion of a $160.8 billion global total. With these funds, China added an estimated 53 gigawatts of new solar capacity — more than all other countries combined.
