At SPI, Hanwha Q CELLS launches the Q.PEAK DUO series, their brand new high-end-power monocrystalline modules based on Q.ANTUM half-cell technology. The monocrystalline modules reach efficiencies of close to 20% and power outputs of up to 395 Wp, guaranteeing linear performance of up to 85% after 25 years (Industry average: 82~83%). In addition, Hanwha Q CELLS will feature an all-black version with impressive aesthetics and its newly developed Q.HOME energy storage system.
Hanwha Q CELLS achieved brilliant performance in various other regional markets besides the U.S. In 2016, the company earned No.1 market share in Korea and Turkey. Moreover, Hanwha Q CELLS achieved No.2 market share in India, an emerging market.
In addition, Hanwha Q CELLS Japan achieved No.2 market share, surpassing other competitors such as Sharp and Panasonic. Hanwha Q CELLS entered the Japanese solar market in August of 2011, but only two years later in 2013, Hanwha Q CELLS Japan excelled as the largest foreign solar product provider. In 2016, Hanwha Q CELLS shipped 700 MW of solar modules, thus ranking second among solar suppliers in the country and accounting for 10% of market share. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the total amount of solar modules installed in Japan by the end of 2016 was 42.8 GW, of which 7% was supplied by Hanwha Q CELLS.
