Yingli: The 6th Largest PV Manufacturer
Yingli's manufacturing plant is in China, and they have two branch offices in the United States focusing on customer service and marketing. Yingli is looking into the possibility of moving it module manufacturing plants to the U.S.
As for warranties, Yingli guarantees that their PV panels will function at 80% efficiency after 25 years. And when it comes to corporate sustainability, Yingli offers recycle services for clients that decide they want to dispose of their solar panels. In addition, they have constructed industry parks around their manufacturing plants.
Currently, Yingli has a partnership with one distributor, DC power systems, and as demand rises for their panels in the U.S., the number of distributors will increase. Furthermore, Yingli is currently undertaking research with PANDA cells which is aimed at increasing the efficiency of their monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells.
Check out Yingli's website and keep looking through our site for more videos about sustainable companies and products.

The harbor frgieht type system is intended to charge a battery, and is low power. It's good for experimenting, but is not very efficient, and not very powerful. I've seen an experimenter say that their 15-watt panel only gave him 5 watts in bright sunlight. If it's the amorphous silicon thin film type of panel, it wears out quickly, dropping to a fraction of its original output in a few years.The $10,000 type whole house system usually has no batteries, and instead ties to the electric grid. There is generally a 10-year warranty on anything going wrong, and the panels themselves, the most expensive part of the system, have a performance warranty of 25 years. The nameplate rating on such a system may be 4000 watts, and you can actually expect to get at least 3400 watts, usually.Neither type of system is easily expandable. The big system can be made expandable later, but that involves spending money up front, and the final system will likely cost more than if the larger system was installed in the first place. An extra panel or two could be added to the small system, since it is generally underpowered anyway, but otherwise expansion means getting a completely new system and running it alongside the first.For ultimate cost effectiveness, the big system is maybe 1/8 the price of the smaller system, per watt.
