Each year, the station generates approximately 290 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity and produces over 300 cattle for market sale.

The new model has also created job opportunities for local villagers.

"My life has changed significantly since I started working at the photovoltaic livestock sheds," said Li Huanchen, a villager from Fuxian. "In addition to a satisfactory salary, I have mastered beef cattle breeding techniques."

"I'm raising 15 cattle at home, and life is getting better," he added.

To help more villagers increase their income, the station buys back the cattle and provides technical support and sales channels. Twenty-three households have joined the program so far.
