Wangtangnan village, once suffered with sandy saline-alkali farmland, has been exploring a new developing model in recent years, which combines agriculture with photovoltaic power station in an effort to advance rural revitalization.

A photovoltaic power station, covering an area of about 1,700 mu (about 113.3 hectares), has been built by Datang Hainan Energy Development Co., Ltd. on the wasteland.

Meanwhile, the village put in great efforts to reclaim the wasteland under the guidance of experts, making it possible to grow vegetables in greenhouses under photovoltaic panels, which increases the efficiency of land use as well as income for local villagers.
