by Rebecca Walker — September 26, 2008—Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited, one of the world’s leading vertically integrated photovoltaic (PV) product manufacturers, has entered into a sales contract with SunDurance Energy, LLC (SunDurance), which develops, designs and builds large-scale solar energy facilities for private and public entities in the United States.
Pursuant to this agreement, Yingli Green Energy has agreed to supply an aggregate of 1.4 MW of PV modules to SunDurance from December 2008 to January 2009, which will be used for a solar power plant under construction on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University in New Jersey. The $10 million solar farm project will be financed by Rutgers University and the Clean Energy Program of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
According to Rutgers University, this project will be largest campus solar energy facility in the United States, and is expected to generate approximately 10 percent of the electrical demand for the Livingston Campus while reducing the university’s carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1,200 tons per year.
