Yingli Green Energy, known as "Yingli Solar", today announced that it has supplied 1MW of solar panels to Grupo Neoenergia. 

The panels will deliver clean electricity to Arena Pernambuco, the site of five 2014 FIFA World Cup™ matches.The unique ground-mount

system, which is the first solar power plant for the Brazilian State of Pernambuco, is located on 15,000 square meters of land inSao Lourenço de Mata, a suburb of Recife, the regional capital. The project contains more than 3,650 monocrystalline PANDA Series panels.

The system is projected to generate more than 1,500MWh of electricity annually, which is equivalent to approximately 6,000

Brazilians'annual electricityconsumption. It will meet thirty percent of Arena Pernambuco's electricity demand. When the

stadium is not in use,the clean solar energy will be delivered to the local community's electricity grid through Brazil's net

energy metering program.Visitors tothe stadium will be able to track the system's performance at a Visitor's Center designed

to educate the public about solar energy.Additionally,sophisticated solar generation and weather monitoring stations will

support solar energy research and development.
