To address one of the country’s major sandstorm issues in Minqin, Gansu Province, China — which has left millions of lives particularly vulnerable — CHINT ANNENG, the flagship subsidiary of global energy giant CHINT and parent company of CHINT PVSTAR, deployed its “One Kilowatt Hour” charity fund to tackle the biggest challenge: the lack of reliable power for reforestation and desertification efforts. By providing solar energy and bringing together volunteers from across China, CHINT ANNENG is transforming this barren land and delivering hope through clean energy.

Solar Power for Desert Reforestation

Providing volunteers with a stable and sustainable power supply, CHINT ANNENG — as a global leader in integrated energy services — installed the equipment with its technical team to deploy 10 high-efficiency solar energy storage systems, all completed within just two days.


At the reforestation base in Minqin, CHINT ANNENG installed solar systems on shipping containers to harness the region’s abundant sunlight and deliver clean electricity. Generating about 1,500 kilowatt-hours each month, the systems store excess energy for night use, ensuring a continuous and reliable supply. Specially reinforced with wind-resistant brackets to withstand frequent sandstorms, the equipment is built for long-term stability. Designed as an integrated containerized solution, the systems can move with the base as needed — providing not only green power for reforestation, but also demonstrating CHINT ANNENG’s commitment to social responsibility and to supporting communities on the frontlines of environmental challenges.


In addition to powering reforestation efforts, the solar storage systems have greatly improved volunteers’ daily lives. Once reliant on unstable temporary power, they now benefit from a continuous and reliable supply directly from containerized units. With access to lighting, communications, and essential appliances, their comfort and efficiency have been significantly enhanced — reflecting CHINT ANNENG’s commitment not only to environmental restoration, but also to the well-being of those dedicating themselves to this vital cause.


Minqin Ecological Restoration: A Path Toward Sustainability

With CHINT ANNENG’s solar systems in place, reforestation efforts in Minqin have made remarkable progress. The proportion of desertified land in the county has decreased from 90.34% to 88.18%, with 2.3 million acres of artificial forests planted and 3.25 million acres of natural desert vegetation under restoration. Once barren and lifeless, the desert is beginning to show signs of revival, bringing new hope of a greener future. Looking ahead, CHINT ANNENG will continue to shoulder its social responsibility in environmental governance by leveraging solar technology to power more desert regions, drive ecological restoration, and contribute to long-term environmental sustainability.
