"The solar farms are also turning sunlight into cash and fortune for hundreds of households in the neighborhood," said Hu Yuhai, deputy chief of the rural vitalization bureau of Shilou county. He said all the 113 villages in Shilou have been engaged in operating solar farms aimed at eliminating poverty.
6,602 villages in Shanxi have operated photovoltaic facilities which contribute to community revenue. Autumn is the best season of the year in Shilou county, Shanxi province, when the sky turns to the color of enamel blue and stretches to the horizon.
