Chinese government officials last month showed off what they say will be the world's largest solar farm when completed high on a Tibetan plateau. It will cover 610 square kilometres, which is the size of Chicago. China has been installing solar panels far faster than anywhere else in the world, and the investment is starting to pay off.
