Taihang Mountain goes solar

Aerial photo taken on November 24, 2018 shows photovoltaic power stations on Taihang Mountain in Handan, Hebei Province. The photovoltaic power sector is being pointed to in China as another way in which less-developed, mountainous regions can both save and generate money through solar power. Given their geographic locations in remote, mountainous regions, numerous villages in Hebei Province have limited economic opportunties. To help overcome these issues, the Chinese government has been establishing solar power panels on parts of Taihang Mountain in recent years to help villagers increase their incomes and improve their living conditions.
