BAODING, China, July 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy
Holding Company Limited ("Yingli" or "Yingli Solar") (NYSE:YGE),
one of the world's leading solar panel manufacturers, today
announced that it is one of the first PV manufacturers to develop a
framed utility-scale solar panel designed for a maximum system
voltage of 1500 Volts (V). This new product will be displayed at
the Intersolar North America trade show in San Francisco, California from July 14th, 2015 through July 16th, 2015 at the Yingli Solar booth,
#7421.
Designed specifically for use in utility-scale PV power plants,
the new panel improves system performance and reduces
balance-of-system costs. Compatible with most tracking and mounting
systems, it is among the first 1500V solar panels to include an
aluminum frame. An extra layer of protective coating on the solar
cells ensures high resistance to Potential Induced Degradation
(PID).
"Due to its 1500V maximum system voltage, our new utility-scale
panel drives balance-of-system savings by decreasing the required
number of home run cables, combiner boxes, and fuses. The higher
maximum system voltage also improves performance by reducing
resistive losses, thus increasing system-level energy yield,"
commented Dr. Dengyuan Song, Chief Technology Officer of Yingli
Green Energy.
"This new utility-scale panel was developed in direct response
to our partners' requests for 1500V solar PV solutions, which we
expect will soon become industry-standard," commented Mr.
Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy. "We are proud to be among
the first PV manufacturers that are able to meet this demand."
