Q CELLS reaffirms commitment to innovation as brand reaches 20-year milestone in solar industry
Twenty years after the Q CELLS brand was born, the Company’s enduring technological excellence continues to shape the solar industry on a global scale.
[Irvine, United States, December 17, 2019] Q CELLS (or “The Company”), a world-leading total energy solutions provider from solar cell and module to energy storage, management and retail, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Q CELLS brand – a feat that underlines the Company’s commitment to continued technological leadership that is “Engineered in Germany” and respected around the world. To mark this occasion as a fresh-faced 20-year-old, Q CELLS plans to deliver a series of relevant products and services in 2020.
Specifically, 2020 will be the year that sees Q CELLS expand its portfolio of monocrystalline modules that surpass 20% conversion efficiency. Next year, this 20%-plus efficiency portfolio will take center stage as the entire focus of Q CELLS’ 10.7 GW module production capacity is steered towards monocrystalline. The Company believes that monocrystalline technology represents the most effective route towards obtaining the lowest LCOE.
With the shift to mono, Q CELLS will continue to meet the growing appetite for higher power modules – as evidenced with the launch of the Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G6+ module portfolio manufactured with larger M4 wafers that was released in the U.S. in Q3 this year. The Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G6+ boasts an all-black façade for superior aesthetics, power classes of up to 345 Wp, and an extensive 25-year product warranty. Even more next-generation modules in the Q.PEAK DUO series will be unveiled throughout 2020.
Furthermore, the Company keenly understands that the customer’s primary concern will remain focused on performance, cost, and reliability over a module’s 25-year lifetime.
