However, the deal struck with FPL indicates the megawatts attributed to deal are more than double FPL’s announced plans for 2017, which is based on PV Tech’s calculation of Hanwha Q CELLS average module ASP’s in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Hanwha Q CELLS supplied major US utility NextEra Energy Resources with around 1.5GW of PV modules in 2016 from manufacturing facilities in South Korea and Malaysia.
