Chinese solar manufacturer Yingli Green Energy Holding’s (YGE.NYSE) losses in the fourth quarter of 2012 were double that of expectations, Bloomberg reported. However, the reported loss of about US$200 million was down from US$610 million in 2011. A 43% jump in shipments last year put the company on the way to becoming the world’s biggest solar manufacturer. The company’s American depositary receipts closed unchanged at US$2.40 on Monday.
