[Berlin, Germany, November 27, 2018] Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: HQCL) (“Hanwha Q CELLS” or the “Company”), one of the largest solar cell and module manufacturers in the world, can this week confirm that its Q.PEAK-G4.1 solar modules have been awarded the highest rating for quality by Italy’s Altroconsumo and the Istituto Tecnologie Avanzate (ITA).
In tests conducted on 14 solar modules from leading suppliers, Altroconsumo and the ITA ranked Hanwha Q CELLS’ Q.PEAK-G4.1 310 Wp solar module in the “Excellent Quality” category thanks to the module’s superior performance, durability, reliability and competitive price-point.
The Altroconsumo and ITA tests are marked by exclusive seals that serve to certify the quality and performance of the solar modules that are tested by the independent platform and institute.
In Italy, Altroconsumo is well-known as the nation’s largest and most trusted independent and non-party political consumer organization.

Peak by name, peak-performance by nature
Hanwha Q CELLS’ Q.PEAK-G4.1 solar module boasts a performance class of up to 310 Wp and efficiencies of 18.6%. This monocrystalline solar module combines the exceptional performance of the Company’s proprietary Q.ANTUM (PERC) cell technology with anti-LID performance that eliminates light-induced degradation almost completely. The Q.PEAK-G4.1 also has an enhanced visual aesthetic that makes it a popular choice among residential homeowners looking to embrace solar energy.
Alberto Nadai, Area Sales Manager for Hanwha Q CELLS Italy, said: “This accolade from Altroconsumo and ITA serves to underline just why Hanwha Q CELLS’ modules are an attractive choice for solar developers looking for a cost-effective solution that will enhance their own reputations as reliable installers of PV systems.
“Italy’s solar market is undergoing something of a renaissance, boosted in part by the utility-scale sector that is reaping the benefits of new power purchase agreements (PPAs), but also the emergent repowering segment of the rooftop sector, which is compelling more and more solar customers to upgrade their old PV systems with state-of-the-art solar module technology, such as Hanwha Q CELLS’ Q.PEAK-G4.1.”
