Elite

QCells is part of the Korean owned Hanwha group, one of the largest industrial conglomerates in the world.

Hanwha initially entered the solar business when it purchased a Chinese solar module manufacturer called SolarFun in 2010. At that time, QCells was a German cell and module manufacturer that was known for high efficiency cells and high quality German manufacturing. In 2012, QCells ran into financial difficulties and was purchased by Hanwha to form Hanwha QCells; this name was more recently shortened into its current form, QCells.

QCells has made a massive commitment to the US market: in 2019, they opened the biggest solar factory in the Western Hemisphere, capable of producing 1,700 MW of solar modules each year. Meanwhile, their solar panels continue to be priced competitively with brands that do most of their manufacturing in Asia.

The combination of reasons we just outlined - ownership by a major conglomerate, U.S. production and competitive pricing, means that QCells deserve to be a top option for homeowners in the market for solar panels.

Won't honor warranty

I am a solar contractor. I installed a 30 panel ground mount system with these panels. Less than a year later I got a call from the customer saying that one was burnt. I went to check it out and sure enough one of the panel's cells was arching internally, causing the entire cell to burn through. I quickly bought a new panel for the customer and changed it, and began working on getting reinbursed for the panel from Q.Cell. They told me to fill out a formal RMA form, which I did along with numerous emails which all go unanswered. Their 10 year warranty is completely BS. I'll stick with LG who will actually reimburse me for my TIME and HASTLE, as well as give me anew panel. Q.Cell ignores emails and brushes my claims to the side. Thanks for nothing with your cheap chinese junk.

Q Cells

I had done research and spoke to my installer about the different brands of panels. I was leaning towards the Tesla because that's the first band that comes to mind or LGs just because I have an LG phone along with other appliances and electronics and felt confident in the brand. Basically what they explained to me was that the Teslas are rebranded Panasonic panels and I read enough terrible reviews with Tesla customer service to be turned off altogether. And as far as the LGs went, I was told the Q Cells were just as good, looked slightly better, and had the same exact warranty for a fraction of the cost. What's better is I watched them install them, it's literally two plugs on the back of the panel like disconnecting an electrical connector on a car to change a light bulb. I'm fully covered but even if I wasn't I'm confident I could swap out one of these panels myself. I'm happy with them

#1 Panel in the US

I work for Trinity Solar in New England and have Q CELLS on my roof. Q CELLS are now the best selling panels in the United States (source: t.ly/anOx). Panel power is measured in watts and efficiency, how well panels convert sunlight to electricity. I currently sell BLACK Q.PEAK Q CELLS which have 340 watts per panel and efficiency of 19%. I find Q CELLS have a smaller footprint than other high output panels, so I can fit more panels on a size constrained roof for a more production and a lower cost. Finally, look for a 25-warranty from your finance partner. I use Sunnova (Ticker NOVA on the NYSE and located in Houston, TX. I am a Sunnova customer and think their 25-year Sunnova Protect™ warranty is superior to the manufacturer warranty because it is easier to make and get claims approved. -Glenn Rhodes @GoGreenWithGlenn
