Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited, the largest vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") module manufacturer in the world, known as "Yingli Solar", today announced that the Company has supplied 1 MW of multicrystalline PV modules to Serbia's 2nd largest solar project.
The 1 MW project is located in the municipality of Kladovo, 250 kilometers east of Belgrade, the Serbian capital, and is the largest ground-mounted solar PV installation in Serbia funded by a domestic investor. Yingli Green Energy's key partners in the project included: Solaris Energy d.o.o., the investor; Enertec d.o.o., the project developer; and Energize d.o.o., the Company's local representative. The installation was designed and funded in record time thanks to effective collaboration among all parties involved.
"We are delighted to work with Yingli Green Energy on this flagship project, which is evidence of the Balkan's steady progression towards sustainable green energy. Yingli was the obvious manufacturer of choice for us, given their reputed PV brand and track record of success, especially in large-scale PV installations," said Milos Kostic, Managing Director of Solaris Energy Ltd.
"We are witnessing sustainable growth in the Balkans, particularly for commercial and industrial PV projects. Serbia plans to move forward with making solar PV a pillar of the country's energy mix. Driven by technology and continuous improvements in efficiency, we anticipate seeing more clean and green energy produced in this region," said Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy.
