What are the three types of resource areas of photovoltaic power plants?

A resource area includes the following areas:

Ningxia, Qinghai (Haixi), Gansu (Jiayuguan, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Jinchang), Xinjiang (Hami, Tacheng, Altay and Karamay), Inner Mongolia (Hohhot, Baotou, Wuhai, Ordos, Bayannaoer, Wulanchabu and Xilingol).

The second resource area includes the following areas:

Beijing, Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Sichuan, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia (Chifeng, Tongliao, Xing 'an League and Hulunbeier), Hebei (Chengde, Zhangjiakou, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao), Shanxi (Datong, Shuozhou and Xinzhou), Shaanxi (Yulin and Yan 'an) and Qinghai (Xining, Haidong, Haibei and Huangnan).

Gansu (Lanzhou, Tianshui, Baiyin, Pingliang, Qingyang, Dingxi, Longnan, Linxia and Gannan), Xinjiang (Urumqi, Turpan, Kashgar, Hotan, Changji Hui, Bortala Mongolia, Ili Kazak, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture).

The third type of resource areas are other areas except the first and second types.

The basis for dividing the three types of resource areas of photovoltaic power plants is as follows

According to the annual equivalent utilization hours, the whole country is divided into three types of solar energy resource areas, and the first type of resource areas is the annual equivalent utilization hours greater than 1600 hours.

The annual equivalent utilization hours are between 1.400- 1.600 hours, and the annual equivalent utilization hours are between 1.200- 1.400 hours, so different photovoltaic benchmark feed-in tariffs are implemented.
