Yingli Green Energy has signed a three-year framework agreement to supply 285 MW of PV modules to Gehrlicher Solar over a three-year period through 2012. The PV modules to be supplied by the company are expected to be installed mainly in residential, commercial roof-top and ground-mounted power plants across key European PV markets.

According to Yingli's CEO, Mr. Liansheng Miao, the deal provides the two companies with additional visibility on sales and supply volumes as well as a solid foundation for long-term cooperation.

He went on to add: "We believe the establishment of our partnership with Gehrlicher Solar, one of the leading system integrators with a diversified portfolio of customers in Europe, will further strengthen our position in this important region. In establishing this partnership, we were particularly impressed by Gehrlicher Solar's successful track record in the PV industry, their focus on innovative solar PV solutions as we approach grid-parity, and their business partnership philosophy."
