BAODING, China, Dec. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding
Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), a leading
solar energy company and one of the world's largest vertically integrated
photovoltaic manufacturers, which markets its products under the brand "Yingli

All modules were tested under high temperature and low irradiation from
September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012. By comparing the average energy output
per watt of all the modules, Yingli Green Energy's PANDA module emerged as the
second best, which proved its stable performance under severe conditions.
According to the test result, the electricity output of PANDA module was 0.6%
lower than the top performer, 2.9% higher than the average level and 5.0% higher
than the lowest ranking module. For example, a 30 kWp PV system in Germany
using the "Yingli Solar PANDA" modules is expected to generate approximately
1200 kWh more per annum than using modules from the lowest ranking performer.

The Company's multicrystalline PV module also excelled in the "2010 Energy Yield
Test" by TUV Rheinland, ranking the second best amongst thirteen PV modules from
eleven participating PV manufacturers from Europe, North America and Asia.

"We're inspired to have continued our success in the TUV Energy Yield Test."
said Dr. Dengyuan Song, Chief Technology Officer of Yingli Green Energy. "I
believe that the exceptional performance of our products is attributable to our
stringent quality control efforts and firm commitment of technology
innovations."

Note: The relative measurement of "TUV Rheinland 2011 Energy Yield Test" leads
to a measurement uncertainty of +1% and -1.5%, which has to be considered when
comparing the results of the participating products.
