Yingli Green Energy has revealed new details surrounding its pending restructure, stating aims to once again become a top-ten module manufacturer. But as the solar industry enters a new era of expansion plans, can it keep up with the pace?
US renewables owner Vesper Energy is set to accelerate the development of its solar and storage pipeline in North America after closing a letter of credit facility for up to US$100 million.
Having topped solar module manufacturer shipments in 2013, Yingli’s next five years were typified by falling revenues and increasing debt. Now, with a complex restructuring underway, Yingli has plans to reach the top again. PV Tech gets inclusive insight into how that restructure is taking shape.
At an event held earlier this month, Jinko, LONGi and JA Solar stated that manufacturing capacity of modules featuring 182mm wafers stood to reach 54GW next year, but even those estimates may prove to be conservative.

DSM Advanced Solar has formally launched a new backsheet based on co-extrusion techniques, concluding that traditional backsheet designs are no longer fit for purpose in the longer term.
Solar manufacturer Yingli Energy has achieved what it described as a “critical milestone” after its restructuring plan was formally approved by a Chinese court.
