Yingli Solar Panda Series solar panels have been used in a major rooftop project in the Midlands, United Kingdom.

5.8 MW of Panda Series modules have been installed across approximately 35,000 square metres by Kingspan Energy and will generate approximately 5.5 MWh of electricity per year; enough to power 1,500 homes.

Panda monocrystalline solar panels use n-type solar cells with average efficiencies above 19.5% and  an overall module efficiency of 16.2%.

Yingli says it has a bright future in the UK sector.

“The UK has seen unprecedented growth in this last quarter with hundreds of megawatts of PV –being deployed ahead of the Q2 ROC adjustment,” said Mr. Ramin Dilmaghanian, Business Development Director UK, Yingli Green Energy.

“We believe that demand for large-scale rooftop projects with a self-consumption model will, in the coming months, continue to provide a stable backbone for the UK market.”

The UK is set to be to be the largest solar PV market in Europe in 2014; with hundreds of large-scale solar facilities currently at various stages of planning. Around 15,000 renewables jobs in the UK last year were in the solar sector.
