Q CELLS debuts firm's greatest power solar module in Europe
- Q CELLS will certainly introduce its greatest power and also highest possible effectiveness solar modules to date right into European markets over the coming weeks.
As part of the Q.PEAK DUO-G9 series, 3 high-density modules will certainly be launched, all of which feature Q.ANTUM DUO Z Technology, where voids in between the cells are closed to increase module effectiveness in relative terms by 4%, supplying an overall effectiveness of as much as 21.1%, Q CELLS claimed.
The Q.PEAK DUO ML-G9 version has 132 half-cells to supply a module power output of up to 395Wp. The larger Q.PEAK DUO XL-G9.3 boosts the variety of cells from 144 half-cells in previous models to 156 half-cells, providing a power outcome of as much as 465 watts. This XL version is 8.3 cm much longer, but only 1kg larger and also the same width as previous items.
A third version of the Q.ANTUM DUO Z array has actually additionally been developed by to especially serve the needs of Europe's household rooftop markets. The Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G9 includes 120 half-cells to deliver up to 345Wp of power and 20.8% overall performance. Q CELLS said that with a weight of 17.5 kg, the modules "can be much more quickly set up on rooftops".
Additional innovations featured in the Q.ANTUM DUO Z range include using 12 rounded wires to connect the cells, and also bigger wafers measuring 161.7 mm in dimension. These components integrate to deliver Q CELLS' "most innovative monocrystalline solar module to date", the company said.
"By focusing our efforts on closing the cell gaps, we provide to our consumers a module range that is completely suitabled for purpose: it boasts very high power and effectiveness, yet is very little large nor unwieldy, striking an ideal equilibrium between performance as well as ease of setup, thus making sure a supremely competitive LCOE," Maengyoon Kim, head of EU sales for Q CELLS, said.
