Under the agreement, XSOL will sell and promote YGE 60 Cell Series modules starting in January 2014 in the Japanese market.

Yingli Green Energy was the first solar module manufacturer to obtain TUV Rheinland’s JIS Q 8901certificate.

These modules are also certified by TUV Rheinland to withstand challenging environmental conditions like salt mist and ammonia.

XSOL CEO Takumi Kashiwa said, "Our partnership with Yingli Solar is a pillar of our solar module strategy, and we believe it will be an important driver of our company’s growth, as well as the growth of the Japanese market."

"Furthermore, the sale and promotion of high-performing Yingli Solar modules will help both XSOL and Yingli strengthen their brands’ reputations for industry-leading quality among Japanese consumers," Kashiwa added.
