Reliability and quality associated with Q CELLS now extends into the growing U.K. and Irish storage sector, following the launch of the Company’s AC-coupled energy storage solution, the Q.HOME+ ESS AC-G2.
[Berlin, Germany, August 7, 2019] Q CELLS (or “The Company”), one of the largest solar cell and module manufacturers in the world, has introduced its complete AC-coupled energy storage solutions to the U.K. and Irish markets, as the Company seeks to strengthen its position as a leading provider of clean energy systems and solutions to British and Irish customers.
The Q.HOME+ ESS AC-G2 storage system is optimised for household applications and has already been well received in the most mature residential storage market in Germany.
As the U.K. transitions to a post-FIT (feed in tariff) solar landscape, demand for greater energy autonomy is expected to rise sharply in a nation that is home to more than 1 million residential solar rooftops, according to the Solar Trade Association. The intelligent design of the Q.HOME+ ESS AC-G2 storage system allows the product to be quickly and easily installed – either alongside a new solar PV array, or as a retrofit option to an existing solar installation.
The Q.HOME+ ESS AC-G2 comprises an AC inverter, a 6.5 kWh LG Chem lithium ion battery, and an energy management system (EMS) that allows for a complete and user-friendly overview of energy production and self-consumption. An emergency power backup feature is also integrated within the system, delivering further functionality to the homeowner.
