In April, QSTec and SolarWorld AG signed a memorandum of understanding with the Educate A Child programme, launched in November 2012 to donate solar panels to selected schools in specific countries.

Furthermore, in March, SolarWorld and QSTec were involved in a joint venture at Barwa’s Passivhaus-Baytna sustainable housing project in Qatar.
