Hanwha Solutions Qcells Division is a complete energy solutions provider operating worldwide. With cutting-edge technology and excellent quality, we are leading the global solar industry by providing total energy solutions, including production, sales, system hardware and software, solar financing, power generation project development, and EPC for high-quality and high-efficiency solar cells and modules. In addition, through the development of advanced IT technologies, we are building virtual power plant systems utilized by distributed energy, enabling efficient energy solutions such as power trading and power grid load management. We operate state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Jincheon, South Korea, and Georgia, U.S. Our R&D headquarters, located in the U.S., Germany, and South Korea, are collaborating to drive forward solar technology innovation worldwide.
The Qcells Division, which is expanding its cell and module production facilities both domestically and internationally, has established a total U.S.-based module production capacity of 8.4 gigawatts (GW) through major investments. The renewed total capacity will generate enough electricity to power 1.3 million households in the U.S. for a year. This expansion further strengthens Qcells Division’s position as the largest U.S. crystalline silicon solar module manufacturer. In 2025, Hanwha will also be the only company in North America to produce all key components across the solar supply chain — from ingots, wafers, and cells to finished modules.
In December 2024, Qcells Division’s achieved 28.6% efficiency on an M10-sized perovskite-silicon tandem cell, as independently verified by the CalLab at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Germany. This marked the first time globally that a full-area M10-sized cell (330.56 cm²) capable of being interconnected into an industrial module received certification from a third-party institution-rather than just a small-area cell (1 cm²) for research purposes. The cell can produce 15% more power than conventional silicon modules and is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of solar energy.
