Hanwha Qcells, a division of Hanwha Solutions, has achieved top performance in the most authoritative global solar reliability assessment. Named "Top Performer" by PVEL in its "2026 PV Module Reliability Scorecard," Hanwha Qcells demonstrated excellence across all eight evaluation categories. The assessment, reflecting the manufacturing capabilities of Hanwha Qcells' integrated production system in the U.S., specifically highlighted the Cartersville plant in Georgia.
This plant, completed in July, is set to run at maximum capacity by year-end, significantly expanding local supply capacity. U.S.-made modules, produced at the Cartersville plant, enjoy advantages in both quality and economics, as they fulfill the "domestic content bonus credit" requirement for U.S. Investment Tax Credit, allowing customers to receive tax benefits.
Hanwha Qcells has already secured sales contracts for most of the 2027 module volume, with ongoing talks for additional contracts post-2028. Head of Manufacturing, Hong Jeong-kwon, expressed pride in the industry's highest evaluation, attributing it to the company's world-class manufacturing capabilities through rigorous quality control and innovation.
