Yingli Green Energy Holding Co., once the world’s biggest solar panel maker, said unit Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Co. may repay 1 billion yuan ($157 million) of notes after an Oct. 13 deadline.

Tianwei Yingli plans to liquidate idle land needed to raise the funds for repayment, but won’t get that transaction done in time, Jean Tian, an investor relations official from Yingli Green Energy, said on Thursday.
