Yingli Green To Supply 72 MW Of Solar Panels To Solarcentury In UK

(RTTNews) - Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Ltd. (YGE), known as "Yingli Solar", said it would supply 72 megawatts of multi- and monocrystalline solar panels to Solarcentury Holdings Ltd., a solar company in the United Kingdom or UK.

As part of the agreement between Yingli and Solarcentury, the firm would complete the delivery of around 168,000 solar panels by this year end. The panels would be installed in projects across the UK. These projects would produce approximately 65,000 MWh of clean solar electricity per year, enough to supply nearly 21,800 typical UK homes.

"We are pleased to once more join forces with our trusted partner, Yingli Green Energy, for these exciting projects. We have worked together for a number of years, and the trust built up over that time makes it easier to execute on projects at this scale. Solar is still the most popular form of renewable energy among the UK public, unsurprising since developing our solar capacity stands to benefit many people and businesses. Also, by diversifying our energy mix, we can help improve the UK's energy security," said Matthew Boulton, Chief Operating Officer, Solarcentury.
