‘- Photovoltaic system with east-west orientation and performance ratio of
more than 86%
– Q.FLAT-G4, the self-developed Q CELLS flat roof system, lowers energy
costs for commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses
– Q.PLUS solar modules with Q.ANTUM technology boast greater yield and lower
electricity production costs
[Thalheim, Germany, November 30, 2017] – A 100 kW Q.FLAT-G4 photovoltaic
flat roof system has been installed on the roof of the fire protection
company Nagel GmbH in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany. The flat roof solution
Q.FLAT-G4 combines Q CELLS solar modules with a customised substructure. The
system consists of 356 Q.PLUS-G4 solar modules with 280 Wp and Q.ANTUM
technology. With a performance ratio of 86%, the system is designed to
produce more than 80,000 kWh of clean energy per year and reduce CO2
emissions by 500 kg. Roeder Solar GmbH, headquartered in Halle, planned and
installed the system with east-west orientation. Over the past 13 years,
the company has installed more than 1,200 solar energy systems in central
Germany. Roeder Solar GmbH is a Q.PARTNER, a company within the Hanwha Q
CELLS installer network.
Q.FLAT-G.4 – Maximise yield, minimise power generation costs The Hanwha Q
CELLS system solution Q.FLAT-G4 forms the basis for the system in
Bitterfeld-Wolfen. Q.FLAT-G4 is much more than just a substructure. The
experts at Hanwha Q CELLS optimised it specifically for the use of
high-performance modules of the Q CELLS brand. Therefore, the system is only
compatible with Q CELLS modules. A major advantage of Q.FLAT-G4 is the quick
and easy, but safe installation, which does not require any penetration of
the roof structure. The system produces nearly the same amount of energy,
regardless of its orientation, which allows maximum use of the roof surface.
In combination with Q CELLS’ high-performance modules with Q.ANTUM
technology, Q.FLAT-G4 maximises the system yield, giving the customer an
optimum self-consumption rate. That is what makes Q.FLAT-G4 the
comprehensive solution for flat roofs, including planning, documentation,
delivery and installation by a certified Q.PARTNER company. Hanwha Q CELLS
first presented the flat roof solar solution at the Intersolar Europe trade
fair in June 2017.
Dirk Musold, Managing Director of Röder Solar GmbH, said, “With the Q CELLS
ROOFTOP PLANNER, system planning and documentation is quick and easy-just
like the installation itself, which only requires one type of tool.”
Mario Schulte, Key Account Manager at Hanwha Q CELLS, said, “We are
delighted about successfuly completing ofthe first Q.FLAT-G4 project in
Germany. In general, it makes a lot of sense for industrial and commercial
businesses to switch their energy consumption to self-produced solar energy.
This way, they save money in the long term while also becoming more
sustainable. Q.FLAT-G4 is the ideal solution for this purpose. The high
performance rate, reliability and outstanding energy yield of Q CELLS’
modules in low light and high temperatures are what set them apart from the
rest.”
