Yalong River Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. has commissioned the 1 GW Suorong photovoltaic power station in Sichuan province, located at 4,600 m in Litang County. JA Solar supplied 808 MW of modules and Yingli Solar provided 406 MW.

The facility integrates solar power with hydropower from nearby SDIC-operated plants and is part of a broader hydro-wind-solar energy strategy. The combined capacity in the Yalong River region is approximately 21 GW, including the 1 GW Chabulang PV plant. Researchers from Yunnan Longyuan New Energy have proposed new design methodologies for PV plants in mountainous areas.
