TL; DR

  • With solar farms utilising high irradiation and elevation, the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is emerging as a significant hub for renewable energy. These advances are likely to help China achieve its 2060 carbon neutrality target.

  • The purposeful dual-use strategy, highlighted by the proximity of several solar projects near military installations, helps match the growth of clean energy with national security needs.

  • The use of technologies, such as bifacial panels, artificial intelligence monitoring, grid-integrated storage, thermal energy storage reservoirs, and portable batteries, is helping to efficiently and sustainably harness solar energy.
