We selected Yingli because their track record for product quality is validated by independent testing and assessments – and that gave us the strong assurance in Yingli Solar panels’ long-term reliability,” said Mr. Sean Tay, Project Director of Cahaya Metro.
“We are witnessing sustainable growth on the island of Borneo, particularly in Sabah where there are plans to make PV a pillar of the state’s energy mix. We anticipate continued solar power plant development across the region,” said Ms. Angie Koh, Managing Director of Yingli Singapore.
