Ten years to the day that Q-Cells manufactured its first solar cell, the company has revealed that it is independently launching production of its Q.Peak high-performance module at its Solar Valley Thalheim headquarters. The new production line was commissioned on July 25 holding a 130MWp production capacity and will produce the Q.Peak modules from monocrystalline solar cells made in Germany.
“Ten years ago, Q-Cells started producing solar cells. Now we are taking another step forward, manufacturing our first Q.Peak high-performance module,” said Nedim Cen, CEO of Q-Cells. 'We are investing €17 million in expanding our production expertise. This strengthens our position as a technology leader and boosts the Solar Valley Thalheim site.”
