‘- Q.ANTUM solar cell No. 1,000,000,000 was produced and celebrated in the
company´s fab in Jincheon, Korea on Monday, July 10, 2017.
– One billion Q.ANTUM cells equal around 5 GW of production volume since
2012.
– Hanwha Q CELLS´ CEO Seong-woo Nam emphasized this milestone as an
“outstanding demonstration of Hanwha Q CELLS´ industry leadership. ”
Jincheon, Korea, July 10, 2017 – Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd. (“Hanwha Q CELLS”
or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HQCL), today announced they celebrated the
commercial mass production of Q.ANTUM solar cell No. 1,000,000,000. The
record cell was produced in the company´s manufacturing facility in
Jincheon, Korea, on Monday, July 10, 2017. Q.ANTUM is Hanwha Q CELLS´
proprietary cell technology. It is based on the passivation of the solar
cell´s rear side (PERC) and a number of additional technological features
for higher yields and lower LCOE under real life conditions. Q.ANTUM has
been developed in the company´s Center for Technology, Innovation and
Quality in Germany, where it since has been improved continuously. The
technology has been in commercial mass production since 2012. As of today,
Hanwha Q CELLS has commercially mass produced a total volume of around 5
gigawatts of Q.ANTUM solar cells.
Seong-woo Nam, CEO of Hanwha Q CELLS, commented: “Having achieved one
billion of commercially mass produced Q.ANTUM solar cells is an outstanding
milestone for our company and a powerful demonstration of Hanwha Q CELLS´
leadership in solar industry.” Looking to the future, CEO Nam said: “As our
core technology platform, we will continue to develop and push Q.ANTUM
technology to achieve even higher yields and lower LCOE for our customers.”
Q.PEAK-G4: MONOCRYSTALLINE Q.ANTUM RANGE The monocrystalline Q.ANTUM module
range Q.PEAK-G4 is the flagship module line of Hanwha Q CELLS and was
introduced to global solar markets in early 2017. It offers high-end
performance, top yields in real life conditions and low LCOE. It comes in
different product specifications suited to various local markets around the
globe. Q.PEAK modules also feature excellent stability and are tested for
wind loads up to 4,000 Pa and snow loads up to 5,400 Pa. At the same time
the frame design has been optimized with a frame height of 32 mm, leading to
a 10 % reduction in logistics and storage costs.
