[Poverty alleviation story] One over 100 yuan! Chicken “game” foot under the photovoltaic panels on the hillside

  [Explanation] In addition to generating electricity, photovoltaic power plants can become "breeding farms"? The heat has passed. On the hillside at an altitude of 2500 meters in Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu, rows of photovoltaic panels are embedded like "mirrors" on the green grass, shining brightly under the sunlight.

  These panels not only collect solar power every day, but also shelter more than 2,000 chickens from wind and rain. In this "breeding farm" without walls, the chickens "grow freely" in the mountains, eating fresh grass and drinking sweet water. They have not only become new industries for local poor households to increase their incomes, but also become destinations for tourists from all over the world looking for "earth flavor".

  Poor household Li Yanhai is a farmer in the "Photovoltaic Chicken Raising" Farmers Cooperative. Near noon, he still shuttled between the photovoltaic panels to feed the chickens. He told reporters that he had no idea at the beginning, but after a long time, he found that raising chickens under photovoltaic panels has many advantages.

  The solar panel can shelter from wind, rain, and wind. The other is that when the sun is big, it can be used to avoid the heat. The other is the grassland. It is all grass seeds, bugs, etc., all for food. There is one less disease, and the other is to grow faster.

  [Explanation] Li Yanhai said, far away from the village, with chickens in the deep mountains, although a little lonely, but very quiet, the most important thing is that this deep mountain "earth-flavored chicken" can only sell for 120 yuan.

  Now (raised) more than 2,000 chickens (chickens), which can be sold twice a year, and can earn about 145,000 yuan a year.

  [Commentary] Li Baoyu, the mayor of Liuji Township, Jishishan County, looked at the "photoelectric chicken" and explained the reason for breeding. He said that he planned to grow mushrooms under photovoltaic panels, and after expert analysis and demonstration, it was more appropriate to raise chickens, so he started the "photovoltaic + farming" model.

  Now we raise chickens, an ecological grass chicken, an ecological native chicken, and the other one is of ornamental nature. This kind, like a zoo, has more chicken breeds, varieties, and colors, and we will mobilize our tourists again. , You can run to catch chickens by yourself, and you can carry out parent-child activities.

  [Explanation] Jishishan officials explored the "photovoltaic + chicken farming + farmer" model to create a new path for the local tourism, catering, breeding + entertainment industry.

  According to statistics, the “13th Five-Year Plan” photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station in Jishishan County has a total installed capacity of 67.149 MW, with an estimated average annual income of 65.47 million yuan, which can be linked to 14400 households in 90 registered Lika villages in the county. Registered account.

  Wang Jinwei, director of the Development and Reform Bureau of Jishishan County, said that the completion and operation of photovoltaic poverty alleviation power stations have helped poor villages and poor households establish long-term income-increasing channels, and how to develop the "under photovoltaic" economy is the next issue to be solved.

  This place (where the photovoltaic panels are located) is a slack place. Let's make use of the slack place and turn it into an industry to make it effective. After our photovoltaic is completed, it can also become our landscape, a beautiful landscape.
