China Huadian Corporation has commissioned what it says is Asia’s largest single site rooftop solar project at a dairy farm, linking commercial scale renewable power directly to animal husbandry operations. The 60 MW AC installation sits at Modern Farming’s facility in Wuhe County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, and was connected by Huadian subsidiary Anhui Huadian New Energy as a landmark agrivoltaic scheme.
The system covers about 560 000 square metres across cowshed rooftops and nearby vacant land, pairing on site generation with an integrated 16.5 MW / 33 MWh battery energy storage system designed for grid peak shaving. Huadian expects the project to deliver an average of 84 million kWh of clean electricity each year, feeding power into the regional grid during periods of high local demand.
The design delivers dual benefits by using elevated solar panels as structural roofing that provides shade and cooling for dairy cows, reducing heat stress while generating power. By generating substantial clean energy across existing farm structures, the project avoids the need to clear or purchase additional agricultural land, while the dedicated 33 MWh storage component helps stabilise power delivery to the grid.
