Yingli has netted RMB588.2 million (US$94.9 million) from the sale of land earmarked for the expansion of its in-house polysilicon operations.

The agreement with a local development body will see the 52.4 hectares site rezoned for non-industrial use. It provides a much-needed cash boost to the debt-laden manufacturer.
