Longyangxia Dam Solar Park , China

China is becoming a solar superpower and Longyangxia Dam Solar Park is located next to a hydropower station on the Yellow River in China ’ s Qinghai province . The solar power station is integrated with the hydro- electric power station , allowing for the regulation of output to balance the variable generation from solar before it is connected to the grid . This helps to conserve water . The park now has expanded to 850MW , keeping it high in the ranks .
