Solar by the Numbers: Midong Is China''s Latest Mega-Marvel
A solar power project in the Gobi Desert has moved the needle on the size and scope of global photovoltaic installations, aided by innovation in equipment and construction. The numbers tell
Industry experts generally consider solar installations exceeding 1,000 MW (1 GW) capacity as mega solar projects. These installations typically feature: Based on the latest 2025 data, here are the world's largest operational solar farms ranked by their installed capacity: 1. Gonghe Talatan Solar Park – China (15,600 MW)
The Gonghe Photovoltaic Project is a 3,182MW solar PV power project located in Qinghai, China. Post completion of construction, the project was commissioned in 2020. The project was developed by Huanghe Hydropower Development. Huanghe Hydropower Development own the project. Buy the profile here. 2. Kubuqi 2 Solar PV Park
This installation showcases China's collaborative approach to mega solar development, with 3 GW owned by China Energy Group and 1 GW owned by Inner Mongolia Energy Group. 7. Gelmud East Solar Park – China (3,534 MW) 8. Delingha Solar Park – China (3,350 MW) 9. Nilka County PV Park – China (3,000 MW)
A solar project phase is generally defined as a group of one or more solar units that are installed under one permit, one power purchase agreement, and typically come online at the same time. Each solar farm included in the tracker is linked to a wiki page on the GEM wiki. The most recent release of this data was in February 2025.
