Chinese manufacturer Yingli Solar was founded in 1998, but it started producing modules in 2003. From 2012 to 2013, Yingli was named the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels. It was also the first company to produce large-scale polysilicon ingots and use infrared soldering. The Chinese manufacturer was also the first to produce n-type PV modules commercially.
Among the firsts in the solar industry, Yingli was also the first company to sponsor modules for the FIFA World Cup. Indeed, the company has made a mark in the industry, continuously supplying solar panels in different parts of the world. They also have headquarters in Sydney, which was established in 2012.
Yingli offers several products for residential and utility-scale applications. Currently, the company has over 60 solar panels approved by the Clean Energy Council, which allows it to be eligible for the federal STC solar rebate.
