BAODING, China, June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited ("Yingli" or "Yingli Solar") (NYSE:YGE), one of the world's leading solar panel manufacturers, today announced that it completed a bond financing RMB 20 million yuan (USD $3.2 million) for a 4 megawatt (MW) solar project. Yingli's financing partners for the project are Tianjin Xinhai Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (Xinhai Leasing) and Principal Shield (Xiamen) Financial Technical Service Co., Ltd. The project bonds are now available for the Chinese public to invest in online at www.shicaidai.com, the China-based Internet finance firm to offer P2B (person-to-business) online financial products, including loans and wealth management tools.
