Maengyoon Kim, EU Sales Head at Hanwha Q CELLS said: “European solar customers now have the chance to purchase, what we believe to be the best product in terms of Euro per kWh on the market today. Its price performance ratio will make the Q.PEAK DUO-G5 series enormously attractive to residential customers as well as to small and mid-sized companies who seek to effectively lower their energy bills with solar power. This product will be a driver behind Hanwha Q CELLS´ attempt to become the clear solar market leader in Europe in 2018.”

The advanced module design also features round wires, which cast less shadows on the cells and are designed to reflect some light back onto the cell, boosting efficiency. 

Hanwha Q CELLS´ proprietary ‘Q.ANTUM’ PERC technology also controls the degradation effects of LID (light induced degradation) and LeTID (light and elevated temperature induced degradation) that can reduce the performance of conventional PERC solar modules.

“The Q.PEAK DUO-G5 series sets the new benchmark for achieving lowest LCOE for the customers. In order to reach that, the module combines our latest technological innovation, both on cell and on module level,” said Daniel JW Jeong, Global CTO of Hanwha Q CELLS. 

The company is providing a 12-year product warranty and a performance warranty of 98% in the first year, a minimum of 93% within 10 years and 85% of initial performance after 25 years.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 7-8 October 2025 is our third PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The events in 2023 and 2024 were a sell out success and 2025 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
