MUNICH, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE, Mar 29, 2019 - (ACN
Newswire) - Hanwha Q-Cells issued a press release on March 25, 2019
following the filing of patent infringement proceedings in the
Federal Court of Australia against REC Group, BayWa r.e. Solar
Systems, and Sol Distribution.
In the claim against REC Group, Hanwha did not provide full
particulars of their allegations despite REC Group's requests for
the same and went ahead to commence proceedings in the Federal
Court of Australia. Based on REC Group's preliminary analysis of
Hanwha's complaints and the asserted patent, REC Group is confident
that it does not infringe Hanwha's patent, and will vigorously
defend itself, its award-winning products, its distributors,
customers and partners. REC Group will take all measures to seek
recourse against Hanwha, including petitioning for the invalidity
of Hanwha's alleged patent. REC Group looks forward to prevailing
in court.
REC Group is well known for its innovations during its 23-year
history and owns numerous valuable patents and patent applications
which cover its products. Indeed in 2014, REC Group was the first
tier 1 manufacturer to introduce half-cut cells with backside
passivation for mass production. Last summer, REC launched N-Peak,
the world's first solar panel combining half-cut mono n-type cells
in a twin panel design. With a full black version of N-Peak, REC
just launched its fourth innovation since last September. REC
Group's solar panels are widely recognized for their unique product
offering worldwide.
Together with BayWa r.e. Solar Systems and Sol Distribution, REC
Group is continuously increasing its footprint in Australia, which
has been one of REC's global key markets for many years. Between
2016 and 2018, REC doubled its shipments to Australia. In 2018, the
company saw an upsurge of REC-certified installers in Australia to
a total of 260. REC Group is fully committed to keep on
accelerating its presence in Australia and will demonstrate its
newest product innovations at the Smart Energy Expo in Sydney,
April 2-3.
It will be business as usual for the European solar panel brand.
REC Group will continue to produce, market and provide its
customers and users with high-quality products and timely delivery
to fulfill its vision that every person shall benefit from clean
electricity directly from the sun. As always, REC Group will keep
its distributors, customers and partners fully apprised of any
developments.
