- The Q.PEAK DUO-G5 convinces the Intersolar
Award Jury regarding the all-round performance
quality of its 120 monocrystalline Q.ANTUM half-cells
- Q.ANTUM DUO Technology with half-cut cells,
as well as a six bus bar design and novel
interconnection technology based on round wires
delivers a module power increase of
around 5.5%, setting the standard in power, energy yield and
LCOE
- Hanwha Q CELLS CTO Dr. Daniel JW Jeong stated:
"The power increase and improved shading response of the Q.PEAK
DUO-G5 ensures the module stands out in an increasingly competitive
field. The Q.PEAK DUO-G5 solar module series is now available for
customers in Europe and various
international markets."
MUNICH, June 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanwha Q CELLS Co.,
Ltd. ("Hanwha Q CELLS" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HQCL), has
secured another achievement in the Intersolar Award 2018
Photovoltaics category with its Q.PEAK DUO-G5 solar module. Having
triumphed in 2017 with Hanwha Q CELLS' innovative Q.PEAK RSF L-G4.2
steel frame module, the Company saw the 120 half-cell, six bus bar
monocrystalline module selected by the independent Intersolar Award
Jury as one of the most innovative out of ten entries shortlisted
from 51 total applications.
After Hanwha Q CELLS received the award, the company's Global
CTO, Dr. Daniel JW Jeong, said, "We are once again extremely
pleased with the decision of the Intersolar Award Jury. Our Q.PEAK
DUO-G5 module combines a number of innovations on different levels
with our high performance cell technology Q.ANTUM DUO. The
durability, power increase and improved shading response
performance of the module ensure that the module stands out in an
increasingly competitive field. The Q.PEAK DUO-G5 solar module
series is now available for customers in Europe and various international markets."
Q.PEAK DUO-G5: PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF HALF-CELL
TECHNOLOGY
Q.PEAK DUO-G5 is a monocrystalline 120 half-cell solar module.
Based on Q.ANTUM DUO Technology, it combines the following
innovations to reach the lowest LCOE:
- Six bus bar design
-
- 2 x 6-inch half cells with six bus bars in parallel produce up
to 3.5% power gain versus a typical full cell, four bus bar
module
- Six bus bars in combination with half-cell technology help to
lower resistive losses
- Round wire interconnection
-
- Use of round wires instead of flat ribbons for cell
interconnection reduces the effective shading on the solar cells
significantly
- Benefits result in a power gain of an additional 2.0%
- Improved performance and durability of half cells
-
- Cell interconnection with independent upper and lower module
halves connected in parallel ensures an improved shading response,
resulting in higher yields when the module is partially shaded
- Half-cut cells are subjected to vastly reduced mechanical
stress, resulting in fewer cracks
- Halving the cell also halves the current, which lowers
resistive losses in each cell and results in a 3.0% power gain
against typical full cells' interconnection
- Q CELLS' proprietary Q.ANTUM cell
technology
-
- Rear side passivated monocrystalline solar cells for power
classes up to 330 Wp
- High power density leads to low BoS costs
- Q CELLS Yield Security: Anti LeTID, Anti-LID, Anti-PID,
Hot-Spot Protect, Tra.Q
