Hanwha Q CELLS’ commitment to new energy solutions with a core focus on quality
Hanwha Q CELLS continues to meet customer needs with the company’s wide range of high-quality solar modules. Hanwha Q CELLS recently signed a strategic partnership with microinverter specialist Enphase to develop AC modules specifically for the U.S. distributed market segments. The Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G6+/AC, features an integrated Enphase IQ7+TM microinverter, while providing customers with a maximum DC output of 345 Wp and a 25-year product and performance warranty. It also offers long-term reliability with one of the lowest degradation rates in the industry, guaranteeing 85% of its initial performance after 25 years. The module’s all-black aesthetic boosts curb appeal, while the integrated microinverter delivers state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities and rapid shutdown compliance. Because the microinverter is pre-embedded to the module at the production stage, the installation time is much quicker than with typical microinverter-equipped rooftop arrays. The product is assembled in the U.S. at Hanwha Q CELLS’ manufacturing facility in Georgia, the largest single solar module manufacturing facility in the Western Hemisphere, capable of producing 1.7 GW of solar modules every year.
It is anticipated that this partnership with Enphase alongside Hanwha Q CELLS’ pledge of providing U.S.-assembled products will help strengthen Hanwha Q CELLS’ market leadership in the U.S. residential and commercial sectors.
Hee Cheul (Charles) Kim, CEO of Hanwha Q CELLS said, “Hanwha Q CELLS’ consistent top market share performance across the distributed generation segment in the dynamic U.S. solar industry is testament to the company’s commitment to innovative energy solutions and acute attention to quality. Hanwha Q CELLS strives to maintain its momentum in the industry and continue pushing the limits, engineering high-performing solutions for a sustainable planet at a time when they’re needed the most.”
