Yingli Green Energy Announces "Kick it with the Champions" Sweepstakes to Celebrate the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team's Historic Victory in London

BAODING, China and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), a leading solar energy company and one of the world's largest vertically integrated photovoltaic manufacturers, which markets its products under the brand "Yingli Solar", today announced the launch of its"Kick it with the Champions" sweepstakes. Open to the public, the winner and ten friends will receive a private soccer clinic led by two (2) members of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. As the first renewable energy company to partner with U.S. Soccer, Yingli Green Energy is hosting the sweepstakes to increase awareness of residential solar options, and to celebrate the U.S. WNT's historic victory this summer in London.

Soccer fans can enter for a chance to win the backyard clinic at www.kickitwiththechamps.com. All contest entrants must be over 18 years of age, though persons under age 18 may participate. Weather and location will be taken into consideration; off-site and indoor options are available.

"There is significant overlap between the rapidly expanding soccer and solar markets in America.  In fact, the top four solar states are also where the top soccer fans are located," said Helena Kimball, Yingli Green Energy Americas' Head of Marketing. "Many consumers and homeowners do not realize how affordable solar energy has become. With the rise of third-party financing, more people qualify for zero-to-little money down options for their homes.

"We believe in giving back to our future generations through access to clean energy, and through healthy lifestyle choices like soccer," commented Robert Petrina, Managing Director of Yingli Green Energy Americas. "We hope that the 'Kick it with the Champions' sweepstakes is an inspiration to fans and athletes across the U.S., and we look forward to sharing our passion with the lucky winner and their friends."

Yingli Green Energy Launches UL Certified 1,000 Volt Utility-Scale Modules

BAODING, China and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), a leading solar energy company and one of the world's largest vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") manufacturers, which markets its products under the brand "Yingli Solar", today announced that it is among the first solar PV manufacturers to introduce a 72 cell solar PV module certified by Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") for a maximum system voltage rating of 1,000V. This new product, marketed under the name "YGE-U 72 Cell," will be displayed at the Solar Power International Tradeshow in Orlando, Florida from September 10, 2012 through September 13, 2012 at the Yingli Green Energy booth, #2416.

Specifically designed for the utility-scale market, the YGE-U 72 Cell module lowers balance-of-system costs by decreasing the required number of wire runs and combiner boxes. The module also allows increased maximum system voltage, which improves system performance by reducing resistive losses. The end result is increased PV system energy yield.

In addition, Yingli Green Energy's new industry-leading linear performance warranty applies to all YGE-U 72 Cell modules. This linear performance warranty guarantees nine percent more power output over the module's lifetime than Yingli Green Energy's standard step warranty, providing confidence to project stakeholders and facilitating access to debt financing.

Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy, commented, "The North American market is a strategic priority for Yingli Green Energy, and we are committed to expanding the rapidly growing utility-scale segment.  We are pleased to offer modules tailored to our utility customers, who require the utmost in performance and reliability."

Robert Petrina, Managing Director of Yingli Green Energy Americas, added, "Industry analysts predict up to 60% growth in the North American utility-scale solar market by 2013. By introducing the YGE-U 72 Cell Series, Yingli Americas is positioned to take first-mover advantage of this growth. Our module enhances utility-scale projects' profitability by simplifying the permitting process, boosting performance and reducing balance-of-systems costs."

"As the preferred independent testing and certification organization headquartered in the United States, earning UL certification is a significant achievement. State and local building and electrical authorities in the U.S. instantly recognize and confidently accept the UL Mark as a sign of safety and quality," said Ms. Evelyn Butler, Global Business Director of UL's Energy and Fueling Systems businesses.

The YGE-U 72 Cell Series is fully compatible with single-axis solar tracking systems manufactured by Array Technologies, the world's leading supplier of solar tracking equipment. Ron Corio, President and CEO of Array Technologies, commented, "It is crucial for solar PV module manufacturers to develop products that meet the specific technical requirements of large-scale project developers, including solar tracking compatibility. Yingli Green Energy is progressive in meeting the needs of the utility PV marketplace."

The YGE-U 72 Cell module is now commercially available in the United States and Canada. Please visit www.yinglisolar.com/us/products for further information.
