Yingli chairman and CEO Liansheng Miao said, “We believe by cooperating with YHS, which enjoys strong support from WHD in the areas of distributing, marketing and selling imported PV modules in Japan, we will be better positioned in assessing and responding to the needs of our Japanese customers.

“In light of the recent events in Japan, more countries and regions are expected to switch towards safer, cleaner and lower carbon energy generation sources which increases the need for renewables. As a leading solar energy company, we are committed to meeting this increasing demand worldwide.”
