BAODING, CHINA: Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd, one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic product manufacturers, announced that it has signed an off-grid PV system sales agreement with the Shanxi subsidiary of China Mobile, and that it has been selected by Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. to supply PV modules for its base stations.
Yingli Green Energy has signed an off-grid PV system sales agreement with the Shanxi subsidiary of China Mobile, China's largest mobile telecom operator, which expects to build a video monitoring system for forest fire prevention in Shanxi Province.
Under this agreement, Yingli will supply the video monitoring system with 269 off-grid PV system units, totaling 0.47 MW. The Shanxi Forestry Bureau and the Shanxi subsidiary of China Mobile will be joint constructors for the video monitoring system, which is expected to cover 11 cities and 113 counties in Shanxi Province.
Additionally, Yingli Green Energy has been selected by Huawei, a leader in providing next generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, to supply PV modules for its base stations in the second half of 2009.
"We are very pleased to continue to enhance our business relationships with China Mobile and Huawei," commented Liansheng Miao, chairman and CEO of Yingli Green Energy. "As one of the first solar companies in China, we established business relationships with China Mobile in 2003 and with Huawei in 2004. These recent wins further demonstrate our solid position as a qualified PV module and system supplier in China. Driven by the launch of the new PV application incentive policy and the increased focus on environmental protection in China, we expect to benefit from a strong period of growth in the Chinese PV industry."
Miao continued: "The industry has experienced increased market demand for a variety of reasons, including the easing of the seasonality in Europe, considerable progress in clean energy incentive policy legislation in the United States and China, and a visible change of industry sentiment boosted by the successful Intersolar Conference hosted in Munich, Germany, last month."
"We have experienced a substantial increase in demand since the start of the year and expect to see at least a 70% increase in shipments in the second quarter over our shipments in the first quarter. In addition, our competitive cost structure, combined with lower prices of polysilicon in the spot market and under our long-term polysilicon supply contracts, gives us confidence in our ability to achieve the previously stated second quarter gross margin target, which is in the estimated range of 18% to 20%," Miao concluded.

'Green' telecom equipment to represent 46pc of network capex by 2013
BOULDER, USA: Energy consumption is one of the leading drivers of operating expenses for both fixed and mobile telecom network operators. Reliable access to electricity is limited in many developing countries that are currently the high-growth markets for telecommunications.
At the same time, many operators have adopted corporate social responsibility initiatives with a goal of reducing their networks’ carbon footprints, and network infrastructure vendors are striving to gain competitive advantage by reducing the power requirements of their equipment.
According to a new report from Pike Research, all of these factors will continue to converge over the next several years, and “green” network equipment will grow to represent 46 percent of the $277 billion global telecom infrastructure market by 2013.
“Improved energy efficiency is the first step in creating greener telecom networks,” says managing director Clint Wheelock. “Reduced power requirements will facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaics, wind energy, and fuel cells, while also opening the door for more efficient network architectures and topologies. This is especially true in remote areas where networks rely heavily on diesel generators for primary and backup power.”
Adds Wheelock, some of the telecom operators and equipment vendors leading the charge to create greener networks include China Mobile, Cisco, Huawei, Juniper Networks, Nokia Siemens Networks, Telstra, and Vodafone.
