Comments Off on SolarEdge – The Smarter Way

Connecting SolarEdge power optimizers to PV panels makes them Smart Panels that produce MORE power at all times.

In a PV system, each panel has an individual maximum power point. Any kind of difference between panels introduces power losses. With traditional inverters, the weakest panel reduces the performance of all panels. With SolarEdge, each panel produces the maximum energy, and power losses are eliminated.

Yingli – Save the RET

Comments Off on Yingli – Save the RET

This statement can be attributed to Daman Cole, Managing Director of Yingli Green Energy in Australia.

Statement by Yingli Green Energy on the Review of the
Renewable Energy Target

Yingli Green Energy Australia Pty Ltd* is fervently opposed to the abolition or weakening of Australia’s Renewable Energy Target (RET). As a subsidiary of the world’s leading manufacturer of solar panels, we believe a decision to abolish or dilute the RET is irresponsible. The recommendations of the RET review will increase electricity prices for homes and businesses in the long-term, leave a locally established renewables industry in turmoil, create impacts which are likely to see increases in severe environmental events, and leave negative consequences for future generations whilst impacting negatively on Australia’s international reputation.

Australia has been declared “open for business” yet this policy uncertainty is sending a negative message to investors and threatening investments in the development of the renewable sector.

Since the establishment of a direct presence in Australia in 2012, Yingli Australia has witnessed strong demand from businesses and consumers as they embrace the benefits of solar power. If the Federal Government changes its position on the current 2020 target of 41,000GW hours, Australia will be left behind in a world that is embracing renewable energy as a tangible player in the global energy mix. Australia’s extremely high levels of solar radiation mean that solar PV technology is particularly efficient in producing energy outputs. This country can lead in the adoption, investment and innovation in solar energy. Academically, our universities lead the world in solar photovoltaic innovation, but regretfully the political uncertainty is hurting Australia’s solar industry. While we remain stranded in uncertainty around Australia’s clean energy future, the solar industry is experiencing strong growth in many other markets such as China, Japan, South East Asia and the Americas.

We remain committed to maintaining a presence in Australia for our customers and partners. Yingli Solar and its Australia subsidiary will continue to stand together with the solar industry and Australians who believe in the future of clean energy in opposing the reduction or elimination of the RET.

Yingli Solar – First ‘Positive Quality’Manufacturer

Comments Off on Yingli Solar – First ‘Positive Quality’Manufacturer

The Australian Solar Council – the peak body for Australia’s solar industry – is delighted to announce that Yingli Solar, the world’s largest solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer, is the first solar PV manufacturer to successfully pass our rigorous Positive Quality™ inspection program.

Under this program, specialists from the Australian Solar Council’s Positive Quality™ Program conduct independent inspection and testing of Yingli Solar’s entire manufacturing process before their solar panels are sent to the Australian market.

Solar PV panels, widely used in Australian homes and businesses, vary considerably in their performance, particularly over the long term.

“As manufacturers compete on price there is an inevitable pressure to substitute quality components with cheaper ones” said Solar Council Chief Executive John Grimes.

“The outcome is that while all solar panels look the same they do not perform the same, and that difference in performance could cost a customer tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the system”.

It is not possible to distinguish between high quality and low quality solar panels simply by looking at them.

“That is why independent specialist inspection and oversight of the manufacturing process is so important”.

According to Grimes “Positive Quality™ inspections are intensive, and occur on a random basis every quarter”.

“By looking for the Positive Quality™ Trustmark, Australian consumers and businesses can have confidence in the quality of the solar panels they are installing”.

“We were impressed by the high level of manufacturing excellence demonstrated by Yingli Solar” said Grimes.

“We are delighted to be the founding member of the Australian Solar Council’s Positive Quality program and the first manufacturer to receive the Positive Quality certification” said Daman Cole, Managing Director of Yingli Green Energy Australia.

“This independent audit provides a level of visibility and assurance to installers and customers that they are purchasing a premium product which has been independently inspected to verify our manufacturing claims. In short, our customers are receiving what we have promised”, said Cole.

“Yingli Solar is committed to staying at the forefront of solar panel quality standards,” said Cole.

The Australian Solar Council looks forward to announcing more successful positive quality manufacturers from those who have signed onto the program.

With now over 7GW of modules installed globally (approximately 30 million panels) Yingli Solar was also the first PV company worldwide to obtain Product Carbon Footprint Verification from TUV Rheinland Group in 2012.

“Yingli Green energy understands that the legacy we leave as a corporate citizen is not simply based on the types of products we make, but also the methods we employ in our own manufacturing facilities”.
