CASE STUDY

Off-Grid Solar Power for Remote Pasture

Reliable Energy for Livestock Farming in High-Altitude Qinghai, China

In January 2026, a 52.8 kW off-grid solar power system was deployed at a remote pasture in Golmud, Qinghai, China, to support daily operations and provide reliable electricity for the livestock farming area.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The project is located in Golmud, Qinghai Province, at a high-altitude pastoral area with harsh natural conditions. The system provides stable and clean electricity to support livestock farming and daily operations in the remote area.

THE CHALLENGE

Extreme high-altitude environment (low oxygen, strong UV, and day-to-night temperature swings).
No reliable grid connection.
Diesel deliveries are costly, difficult and not sustainable.
Harsh weather (strong winds, dust, snow) and limited maintenance access.

THE SOLUTION

A 52.8 kW photovoltaic array with anti-corrosion mounting, 6 × 11 kW hybrid inverter units and 10 battery racks form a complete off-grid solar power system. The system includes smart energy management, remote monitoring and weather-resistant equipment, designed for high-altitude and extreme conditions.

KEY BENEFITS

Reliable Power Supply

24/7 electricity for livestock facilities and daily operations.

Lower Operating Costs

Reduces diesel consumption and maintenance visits.

High Durability

Withstands harsh weather, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations.

Clean & Sustainable

Reduces carbon emissions and supports green pastoral development.

PROJECT VALUE

This off-grid solar solution improves the living conditions in the remote pasture, ensures stable power for key facilities, reduces dependence on diesel fuel, and demonstrates the practical value of renewable energy in high-altitude regions.
