Hanwha Q CELLS expands its footprint in the Japanese PV market, delivering its solar modules to investor Sumitomo Corporation and NTT facilities Inc., Japan’s largest EPC. Hanwha Q CELLS will provide a total of 60 MW – or more than 235,000 premium PV modules. The Q.PRO G3 modules with power classes of 245 Wp, 255 Wp and 260 Wp will be installed in solar power parks in Kitakyushu, Tomakomai and Saizo. The modules will be delivered between July 2013 and June 2014.

With Hanwha Q CELLS as the project’s module provider, three solar powerhouses join forces in this project: Apart from Hanwha Q CELLS and Japan’s largest EPC, NTT facilities Inc., Sumitomo is one of the top PV businesses of the country. Sumitomo and NTT facilities Inc. decided in favour of Hanwha Q CELLS because of the premium quality, reliability and high yields of the Q.PRO G3 modules.

“Japan is continuing to invest heavily in solar energy by building solar power plants. Having been chosen as PV module supplier for the three plants, Hanwha Q CELLS again demonstrates the premium quality of our products, which combine high yields with top reliability,” said Jong Seo Kim, head of Hanwha Q CELLS Japan.
