In the wake of popularity and reduced cost of photovoltaic products like polysilicon, silicon and some other solar modules, PV power generation programs are applied into different fields. It is remarkable that the solar photovoltaic applied into airport has prevailed for years across the globe, and china is no exception.
More than ten international airports in China have installed solar photovoltaic generation system on the roof of terminal buildings, cargo terminals or on the roof of car parking, aiming to emerge as an environmental friendly eco-airport. Now, Let’s get a glimpse of how China’s PV industry takes off at airports and how much installed capacity has been projected.

As a matter of fact, solar photovoltaic projects applied into airport construction significantly contribute to the industry prosperity and trigger the interest of entrepreneurs. Besides, it is also a window for residents getting well known of their understanding of photovoltaic, progressively advocating the sustainable development idea of green energy.
It is certain that China’s photovoltaic industry, in the following years, will continue to gain momentum in other fields domestically and internationally. China, known as the biggest consumption and production power, is projected to top rank the world’s solar photovoltaic market.
