Technicians check a photovoltaic panel in Daguo village, Ganluo township, Anfu county, Ji an, east China s Jiangxi province, Dec. 13. (People s Daily/Liu Liqiang) Look at the shiny panels outside. We make money from the tiles, said Wan Chunmei, an impoverished resident in Zhailiang village, Shangwu township, Wangcang county of Guangyuan, southwest China s Sichuan province, when she arrived at a greenhouse one kilometer from her home to prepare the soil. The tiles she said are photovoltaic panels on the roof of her greenhouse. They were a part of the first photovoltaic-agriculture program launched in Sichuan province, which started with an investment of 2.5 million yuan ($381,750) from the Science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province and the government of Wangcang county in 2016.
