SolarZhejiang ShengChinaCO₂ reported

Yueqing A is a 10 MW solar power plant in Zhejiang Sheng, China. It is operated by Zhejiang Zheneng Yueqing Power Generation Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 4,254 homes (estimated). It ranks #5483 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 14,648,000 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 3,414,452 cars driven for a year. In context, solar supplies about 11.1% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 28.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 45% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 31/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 0.7% at warm-season highs here (estimate).
