The 4 GW Ruoqiang Photovoltaic Project in Xinjiang, China, the world’s largest single-site HJT solar installation, is now connected to the grid. Developed by China Green Development Investment Group (CGDG) with 1.8 GW of Himalaya G12-132 HJT modules supplied by China-based Huasun Energy, the project was completed by 2024. Spanning 1,879 acres with an investment of RMB ¥11 billion (~$1.5 billion), the site includes 1,280 solar arrays and four 220 kV substations. Located on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the project combines renewable energy generation with ecological restoration, employing elevated panels at a height of 3 meters to improve soil moisture retention and regulate ground temperatures.
