BAODING, China, Dec. 27, 2016 /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 China General Certification Centre's ("CGC") Top Runner
Program certification, 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.
The PANDA Bifacial module is comprised of two layers of 2.5mm
thick tempered glass, which replace the conventional back sheet and
glass structure. Specifically, PANDA Bifacial module
integrates technology from Yingli's state of the art PANDA n-type
monocrystalline solar cells, 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% compare to the
situation when it only generates from the front side.
The PANDA Bifacial module possesses strong durability and
resistance to PID (Potential Induced Degradation) and is able to
perform well under various harsh environments such as exposure to
high temperature and humidity, salt mist and sand. 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%.
"We are glad to receive the first Top Runner Program
certification for bifacial PV products. Actually, the performance
of our PANDA Bifacial module is beyond Top Runner Program's
requirements, which resulted from our continued technology
innovation," commented Dr. Dengyuan Song, Chief Technology Officer
of Yingli. "Yingli will always committed to reducing the cost of
solar power generation and making solar electricity affordable and
accessible for all through continued technology innovation."
