Since Q-Cells SE was established in 1999, within a few short years it has grown into one of the largest solar cell manufacturers in the world. And now we are turning it into a photovoltaic company spanning the globe. Q-Cells’ core business is the development, manufacture and marketing of powerful solar cells made out of monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon. More than 250 scientists and engineers at Q-Cells are working on technology development to achieve Q-Cells’ paramount aim: to drive down the costs of photovoltaics quickly and permanently. After all, this is the only way to make solar power affordable and competitive. Q-Cells’ second pillar in production is the manufacture of thin-film technologies based on various technologies. As a result, over the years a series of subsidiaries developing alternative technologies has set up shop alongside Q-Cells in Solar Valley.
In addition, Q-Cells has been building up its project business through its subsidiary Q-Cells International, which specialises in the planning, engineering, construction and maintenance of large-scale solar parks and rooftop arrays. Within just three years, QCI has become one of Europe’s biggest photovoltaic project developers. Q-Cells’ portfolio is completed by Q-Cells Clean Sourcing, which is tapping a new business segment by providing industrial customers with green energy.
In a nutshell, we are developing photovoltaics as a sustainable, environmentally benign technology using the commercial opportunities afforded by this rapidly growing market.
