Solar Panel Rainwater Harvesting Pilot Mitigates Desert Hazards in Gansu
What happened
Ma Shijun, a chief designer of desert control and ecological restoration, observed rainwater collection at the Jiuduntan Photovoltaic Desert Control Demonstration Park in Wuwei, Gansu. Runoff from the angled silicon arrays is channeled to nourish plants between and beneath the panels through precision irrigation. These plants help protect the station from severe sand hazards, such as dust and abrasive particles. This pilot project is part of a larger rainwater harvesting system planned for next year.

Why it matters
The demonstration park, which is planned to span 300 square kilometers, converts a harsh desert landscape into a source of clean power. The successful use of rainwater harvesting technology helps maintain the operational efficiency of large-scale solar installations in arid environments.
