The answer for Yingli Solar is to leverage its technologies and brand, actively collaborate in international cooperation and adapt to changes in the industry and market.

We hear about Yingli Solar’s manufacturing and sales strategies in all corners of the world, including the opening this year of a 6GW N-type production hub, which is a cornerstone of the company’s plan to ramp up to 20GW of annual N-type module production capacity.

Cindy Hu also talks about Yingli Solar’s products and technologies of course, as well as its commitment to ESG, becoming the first solar PV player to join the WWF’s carbon emissions reduction project a few years ago, as well as its plans for the future.
