Feb. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Solar manufacturer Yingli Green Energy shipped a record number of photovoltaic modules in the 4th quarter of 2010 hitting a gross margin of 32.9 percent. The fourth quarter results were a reflection of the strength of 2010 for the company and sector. Over the year, the company’s net income hit $215 million generating earnings of $1.37 per share.

Revenues in the 4th quarter hit $616 million which exceeded their 3rd quarter revenues by nearly 22%. PV shipments for the full year were a 106% improvement over shipments from 2009. Eighty percent of Yingli’s PV sales were in Europe where strong demand propelled their business. CEO Liansheng Miao expects to diversify their market exposure in 2011 and hopes to increase sales outside of Europe to 40% of their total revenue.

Provideo Financial analysts see solar as a strong play, and Yingli Green Energy is an example of a company with strong potential for a mid to long term investment. According to Arnold Brouwer of Provideo, “market demand for the solar sector is robust, and companies that are producing quality products at competitive prices will have buyers for that product.” Brower stated that he is watching a handful of solar companies and that Yingli is just one example.

According to Yingli CEO, they are continuing to make progress on their PANDA commercial production lines, and have reached a historical high cell efficiency rate of 19.89%.

Brouwer believes that innovation and corporate dedication to research and development will help companies like Yingli create sustainable business models, and continual growth in both gross profit as well as valuation.
