What’s new at Q CELLS?
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 product is assembled in the U.S. at 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 Q CELLS’ pledge of providing U.S.-assembled products will help strengthen Q CELLS’ market leadership in the U.S. residential and commercial sectors.
