China switched on the world's largest floating solar farm, located a small distance from the city of Huainan in the eastern Anhui province, in May. Local authorities decided to implement the project after a coal mining operation flooded, leading to questions about how best to use the site. The floating solar farm itself was built by Chinese manufacturer Sungrow Power Supply, at its full capacity of 40 megawatts, the plant can provide electricity for more than 15,000 homes.
It may have been billed as an energy source for the future, but hopes that solar power would become a money-spinner and a stable source of growth have taken a hit. Several European solar panel makers have gone under in recent years.
Spanning 350,000 square metres, this solar-powered car park can generate green energy and help grass grow.
