BAODING, China, Jan. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy
Holding Company Ltd. ("Yingli" or "Yingli
Solar") (NYSE: YGE), one of the world's leading solar panel
manufacturers, today announced that its PANDA Bifacial module has
received Chinese Technology Innovation Award of Top Runner Program
for 2016 on 2016 Innovation Conference of Top Runner Program of
China, which was held early
January 2017.
The PANDA Bifacial module is based on Yingli's PANDA n-type
monocrystalline solar cell, which can generate power not only from
the front side, but also from the rear side by leveraging reflected
light in the environment. Therefore, the power yields of the PANDA
Bifacial module can be increased by up to 30% compared to the situation when it only
generates from the front side. With a maximum system voltage of
1500 Volts (V), PANDA Bifacial module can improve system
performance and help to reduce the balance-of-system costs by up to
25%.
In December 2016, the PANDA
Bifacial module has received the Advanced Technology Product
Certification of Top Runner Program from China General Certification Centre ("CGC"),
which was the first Top Runner Program certification to module that
can generate power by both the front and rear sides in China. The PANDA Bifacial module has been
installed on a 50MW Top Runner project in Datong, Shanxi province.
"We are glad to see that our PANDA Bifacial module continues to
gain industry and market recognition, demonstrating its high
quality and technology leadership," commented Dr. Dengyuan Song,
Chief Technology Officer of Yingli. "Yingli will always commit to
technology innovation in order to reduce the cost of solar power
generation and make solar electricity affordable and accessible for
all."
