PRESS RELEASE
Q-Cells solar road show: Next generation of Q-Cells solar modules is on
tour
- Q-Cells solar truck - a mobile show room - visits customers and
partners
- Truck tours five European countries, starting on 4 July in Italy
- Next generation of modules with new 'Q-CELLS YIELD SECURITY' seal of
quality for higher yields and improved security
Bitterfeld-Wolfen (Germany) / Rome (Italy), 4 July 2011 - Today, Q-Cells
SE, one of the world's leading photovoltaic companies, has started a unique
solar road show with a Q-Cells branded truck that will serve as a mobile
show room for partners and customers. The truck will stop in different
locations in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium and France
between July and October 2011. With this road show, Q-Cells aims to
strengthen its network of partners throughout Europe and promote the next
generation of Q-Cells solar modules as well as the issue of solar energy in
general. The Q-Cells truck starts its tour today, 4 July 2011, in the
Italian town of Gonzaga (Mantova) and will tour Italy, one of Q-Cells' key
strategic markets, until 8 July, before continuing its journey in Germany.
Through organising this solar road show, Q-Cells will actively support its
customers in selling and installing Q-Cells solar modules. The initiative
is an integral part of the new marketing concept of Q-Cells, which aims for
the consistent brand positioning in the market. Within the framework of the
road show, all partners will be provided with training sessions to
guarantee the professional and safe installation of Q-Cells systems, high
yields and 100% quality. Moreover, partners will be supplied with all
necessary background information on the benefits of Q-Cells solar products.
The truck has been designed by Luigi Colani and combines futuristic
elements with an aerodynamic design, reducing petrol consumption by up to
25% compared to similar trucks. Along with a solar-powered bar and a
roof-top terrace, the truck showcases on its loading area innovative
Q-Cells products, such as the crystalline solar modules Q.PRO and Q.PEAK
and the solar modules of the Q.SMART CIGS thin-film product family.
The next generation of solar modules is characterised by higher
efficiencies and the newly developed seal of quality, 'Q-CELLS YIELD
SECURITY', which combines the following features: Next-generation
crystalline solar modules are equipped with innovative Anti PID Technology
(APT), protected against hot-spots thanks to the unique Hot-Spot Protect
(HSP) quality control, and can be traced across the entire value chain due
to individual coding by means of Tra.QTM laser marking technology. Q-Cells
complements these benefits with the best warranties in the industry: a
linear performance warranty guarantees a power output of 83% after 25 years
for crystalline solar modules and 85% for CIGS thin-film solar modules.
For its Q.SMART thin-film modules, Q-Cells not only provides PID-protection
but also offers an Additional Power Boost (APB), an increase in output by
up to 15% due to positive sorting and the light-soaking effect. This
improved performance ensures that customers get more output than they pay
for. Q.SMART modules are suitable for diverse applications due to their
outstanding low-light behaviour and performance at unfavourable angles.
Q-Cells sums up the benefits of these versatile application options with
the term 360 Efficiency (TDE - Three hundred and sixty Degree Efficiency).
Following, the schedule of the Q-Cells truck's tour across Italy
- Monday, 4 July 2011: Gonzaga (Mantova)
- Tuesday, 5 July 2011: Jesi (Ancona)
- Wednesday, 6 July 2011: Perugia
- Friday, 8 July 2011: Vicenza
