Yingli Green Launches CleanARC Coated Solar Panels For Tough Climates

(RTTNews) - Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (YGE), a Chinese solar panel manufacturer, also known as "Yingli Solar," announced late Sunday that innovative CleanARC anti-reflective or AR glass coating is now available on all Yingli product lines.

CleanARC coating, developed by California-based Enki Technology and offered through Yingli, enables panels to generate more energy over time while simultaneously reducing cleaning requirements, creating additional project value in comparison to conventionally coated panels.

The announcement was made at the World Future Energy Summit.

Yingli said its CleanARC coated solar panels are ideal for project sites with harsh environmental conditions such as sandstorms, sea mist, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations due to their high resistance to abrasion and environmental degradation.

CleanARC coated solar panels can also reduce operations and maintenance expenses because the coating's structure and hydrophobic properties enable more effective self-cleaning than conventional AR coatings.
