BAODING, China,
May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli
Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green
Energy" or the "Company"), one of the world's leading solar panel
manufacturers, known as "Yingli
Solar," today announced that it reached more than 13
gigawatts (GW) of cumulative global solar panel deliveries by the
end of the first quarter of 2015.
The Company's global fleet can now produce approximately 16
billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean solar electricity each year,
which is almost enough energy to meet the city of Beijing's residential power consumption in
2014. In total, the energy produced by all deployed Yingli Solar panels can offset nearly 9 million
tons of carbon emissions each year, which is equivalent to taking
about 1.7 million cars off the road.
"We are incredibly proud of reaching this historic milestone,
which is a testament to both our innovative, high quality solar
products and to our dedicated pursuit of Yingli's mission to bring
green energy to all," commented Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Yingli Green Energy. "Together with our partners, we
have made solar power -- and
the significant environmental and economic benefits it provides
-- accessible to communities in
nearly every corner of the world."
