Even as most major surviving module makers returned to profitability over the last two years, Yingli continues to swallow big losses.
Yingli reported a loss of 1.4bn yuan ($230m) loss for the whole of 2014 – meaning it lost a combined 6.7bn yuan from 2012 through 2014.
By comparison Trina Solar, which last year snatched the title of world's largest module supplier from Yingli, and which has a largely similar business model, reported a 2014 profit of $61.3m.
