Yingli Energy Launches 5GW High-Efficiency N-Type Solar Cell Project in Baoding City of China

PVTIME – On August 16, a groundbreaking ceremony of Yingli Energy’s PV material industry base was held in Baoding City of China. With a total investment of 2.5 billion yuan, the project is expected to be put into operation in Q1 2023.

Yingli’s new industry base is mainly engaged in the high-efficiency n-type solar cell with annual output of 5GW and other related PV materials. The project is designed to adopt the most advanced technology for the manufacture of n-type TOPCon high-efficiency solar cells with high efficiency, low cost and high performance. The production lines adopt MES intelligent manufacturing system, AGV logistics transportation system, WMS quality management system and other intelligent platforms to achieve highly automated and low-carbon manufacturing.

The project is expected to bring good social and economic value to the company and local people. After completion, the annual output value of the project is estimated to be 6.5 billion yuan, and the annual tax payment will reach 260 million yuan, while more than 1,000 jobs will be provided.
