The current distribution of Gobi and desert regions (GDRs) in China was identified using the random forest algorithm. The carbon mitigation potential (CMP) of photovoltaic (PV) systems in the GDRs was explored under different development scenarios. The proportion of GDRs that underwent PV development was only 2.25 %, and its CMP was enormous.
Due to sufficient lighting conditions and widely available land resources, an increasing number of photovoltaic (PV) power stations are being built in desert areas to meet the growing demand for sustainable energy. Deserts are becoming ideal places for building PV power stations [5, 6].
The carbon mitigation potential (CMP) of photovoltaic (PV) systems in the GDRs was explored under different development scenarios. The proportion of GDRs that underwent PV development was only 2.25 %, and its CMP was enormous. The critical areas proposed for PV installation in GDRs were spatially visualized.
The critical areas proposed for PV installation in GDRs were spatially visualized. The sunny, sparsely populated sand, gravel, and other desert regions known as the Gobi and desert regions (GDRs) have significant advantages and enormous potential in the development of solar resources.
Deserts are becoming ideal places for building PV power stations [5, 6]. According to statistics, by 2018, apart from farmland, deserts had the largest deployment area of PV power stations in the world . China accounts for 18 % of the global population and 28 % of global carbon dioxide emissions.
The research results showed that from 2001 to 2022, the electricity consumption of the whole society in China showed a continuous increasing trend. With the increase of the proportion of PV installation in the very suitable areas for GDRs, the annual PV power generation also showed a continuous increasing trend.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
