The panda-shaped power plant, a project backed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will also play a crucial role in getting young people to engage with sustainable development.
"Designing the plant in the shape of a panda could inspire young people and get them interest in the applications of solar power," said Panda Green Energy's CEO, Li Yuan, last year.
Young candidates from around China will be recruited to participate in summer camps at the panda power stations, with a focus on providing them with a deeper understanding of green energies.
There are also plans to bring panda power stations to Fiji and the Philippines, with the aim of building 100 across the globe over the next five years.
