Recognized as EUPD Research Top Brand PV in 2022
We are expanding cell and module plants at home and abroad. An expansion of our U.S. factory in Dalton, Georgia, in 2023, combined with the construction of a new factory in Cartersville, Georgia, raised Hanwha Qcells’ total annual U.S.-based module production capacity to 8.4 gigawatts (GW). 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 Hanwha Qcells’ position as the largest U.S. crystalline silicon solar module manufacturer. Hanwha will also be the only company in North America to produce all key components across the solar supply chain — spanning from ingots and wafers to finished modules.
In December 2024, Hanwha Qcells 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.
