Yingli Energy (China) Co., Ltd

Yingli Energy (China) Co., Ltd. entered the field of solar photovoltaic power generation in 1998. In 1999, it undertook the country's first demonstration project of 3-megawatt annual production of polycrystalline silicon solar cells and application systems, filling the gap in China's photovoltaic industry without large-scale production and application demonstration, and laying the foundation for China's photovoltaic industry technology. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2007, relying on long-term strategic, innovative, technological, and brand advantages, it ranked first in global shipments in 2013 and 2014, becoming a leading enterprise in the global photovoltaic industry. Yingli continuously increases its investment in research and development technology innovation and the construction of its research team. Currently, it has 8951 employees, including 1146 technical personnel and 472 personnel with intermediate and senior professional titles. Every year, the investment in technology research and development funds accounts for over 4-5% of the annual sales revenue. Dr. Song Dengyuan, the Chief Technical Officer of the company, is a leader in photovoltaic technology in China, an expert who enjoys special allowances from the State Council, and the Chief Scientist of the National 863 Plan project "Research and Development of Key Technologies and Equipment for Solar Cell Testing and Testing". He has been awarded the first batch of "Hundred Talents Plan" special experts by the Hebei Provincial Government to introduce high-level overseas talents, and the sixth batch of excellent experts in provincial management in Hebei Province. The Yingli Technology Team was selected and named the "Giant Plan" innovation team by the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and Government in 2012, and the Yingli Enterprise Technology Center was recognized as a nationally recognized enterprise technology center in 2013. Yingli has "State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Materials and Technology", "National Key Laboratory of Energy Photovoltaic Technology", "National Enterprise Technology Center" and "International Joint Research Center of Photovoltaic Technology", becoming the only enterprise in China's photovoltaic industry with two State Key Laboratory and two national research centers. We have achieved good results in undertaking scientific research projects and achieving technological research and development results through platform construction and the construction of a large technical team. At present, we have obtained 2104 authorized patents, of which 1822 have been authorized, ranking first in the global photovoltaic industry. We have led and participated in the preparation of 78 international, national, and industry standards, won 9 provincial and ministerial level science and technology progress awards, and undertaken more than 130 national and provincial level science and technology plan projects. Relying on the Yingli Photovoltaic Technology International Joint Research Center, Dr. Li Shuozhen, a South Korean photovoltaic technology expert, has been introduced. Dr. Li has served as a professor at Yuhan University and East Seoul University, and is the Minister of the New Energy Division of Hyundai Heavy Industry in South Korea. With 16 years of experience in designing and managing solar photovoltaic power plants, Thomas, a researcher from the University of Applied Science and Technology in Minster, Germany, has been introduced. Thomas has worked at Solarwatt Scheuten SolarGermany has successively served as a product manager and technical director. The introduced experts jointly carry out innovation team building and research and development of major scientific research projects. In 2010, Yingli collaborated with the Dutch Energy Research Center and AmtechSystem in the United States to jointly develop a high-efficiency and low-cost N-type silicon solar cell and equipment. This project was included in the International Science and Technology Cooperation Project of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, with an approved funding of 5.2 million yuan. In 2015, Yingli collaborated with the Dutch Energy Research Center and the German Pude Energy Research Institute to jointly develop a 21% efficient N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cell. This project was included in the international science and technology cooperation project of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, with an approved funding of 1.4 million yuan. The N-type single crystal "Panda" high-efficiency battery, which has become one of the three largest mass-produced high-efficiency batteries in the world, has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, good weak light effect, and double-sided power generation, filling the gap in the production of N-type single crystal high-efficiency batteries in China. As of now, the comprehensive efficiency of the "Panda" double-sided battery has reached 24.6%, and the power generation is 30% higher than that of conventional components. This technology has obtained the national new product certificate. At the same time, Yingli has obtained the development rights for the Datong 50MW project of the "Leader Plan" of the first batch of advanced technology photovoltaic demonstration bases in China with the help of panda battery modules. At the same time, we actively carry out the development and research of new technologies leading industrial transformation, such as nano and graphene, and continue to explore and promote new models and paths that jointly promote the large-scale development of photovoltaic power generation and the upgrading of the photovoltaic industry, providing market guarantee for improving quality and efficiency of the photovoltaic industry and achieving "high-quality manufacturing" in the 13th Five Year Plan and beyond.
