Hanwha Q Cells to present Q.Peak Duo and Q.Home at PV Expo.

Hanwha Q CELLS Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Hanwha Q CELLS Japan” or the “Company”) will participate at PV EXPO 2018 in Tokyo, Japan between February 28 and March 2, 2018. PV EXPO is Japan’s largest trade show for the PV Industry. Some of the latest technologies, solar cells and modules from across the globe will be exhibited.

During the exhibition, Hanwha Q CELLS Japan will introduce the new ‘Q.PEAK DUO’ solar module to the Japanese market. The company´s flagship module combines half-cell technology, six bus-bars and Hanwha Q CELLS’ proprietary Q.ANTUM DUO technology. Q.ANTUM DUO technology provides both the advantages of higher system performance as well as lower LCOE. In addition to the ‘Q.PEAK DUO’, Hanwha Q CELLS Japan will also introduce the new ‘HQJB-A series’ which is a hybrid energy storage system for residential markets. The ‘HQJB-A series’ enables customers to self-consume electricity and thus, the Company believes it will be successful in creating a new energy lifestyle for Japanese consumers.

In 2016, Hanwha Q CELLS ranked second in market share in Japan. Furthermore, “Monthly Smart House,“ a Japanese PV magazine, awarded the Company´s ‘Q.PEAK-G4.1‘ monocrystalline Q.ANTUM module with the Smart HIT Award. This indicates that the product is the preferred residential solar module in Japan due to its "well-balanced quality and cost”. The Smart HIT Award for ‘Q.PEAK G-4.1‘ is meaningful as “Monthly Smart House” awarded it based on interviews conducted  with major distributors in Japan.

Last year, Hanwha Q CELLS Japan executed a television commercial message (“TVCM”) with its brand ambassador of Japan, a renowned model in Japan, as part of promotion initiatives. This year, on the first day of exhibition at PV EXPO 2018, Hanwha Q CELLS Japan will host various events, including but not limited to a product-related talk show presented by the brand ambassador and presentations to elaborate on Hanwha Q CELLS’ new products and technologies as part of its business plans to heighten brand awareness of the Company through the events planned at PV EXPO 2018.
