Yingli partner program to raise quality of solar installers

Yingli Green Energy Australia, the PV module manufacturer known as Yingli Solar, has announced the partner program Yingli4You, which aims to raise the quality benchmark for Australia’s solar PV industry.

The Yingli4You Partner Program is designed as an integrated educational, incentive, technical and project-management package to support authorised Yingli Solar installers in raising quality standards within the solar PV industry. It offers a competitive advantage for participating installers with tools and support to increase their productivity, efficiency and competitive advantage. Business and residential customers will have the assurance of working with installers who will receive a high standard of training, as well as increased supplier support and back up from Yingli Solar.

Yingli Solar will introduce an iPhone app (known as Y4U) with a corresponding website which acts as an integrated digital storage tool for all technical and site information and photography, facilitating streamlined project management. Installers will be able to maintain a database of installations, add location-based tags to installation images and orientation and pitch image grabs. Installers can also log Yingli inventory used through a barcode reader and verify the compliance of a solar PV installation against Clean Energy Council (CEC) standards.

The website and app will allow installers to process product warranties online and to verify the authenticity of Yingli Solar PV panels.
