The solar energy resource is abundant in China, which provides a good foundation with the utilization of solar energy. In China, there is a Silica Valley in Beijing, an Optics Valley in Wuhan, and also an Electricity Valley in Baoding. First, the only domestic national industry base of renewable energy and equipment is located in Baoding National New and High-tech Industry Zone. Secondly, there are great advantages on the photovoltaic industry, the wind power generation and the power transmission and transformation equipment, corresponded with the Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited, Zhong Hang Huiteng Wind Power Equipment Corporation Limited and Tian Wei Group Corporation Limited, respectively.
