CHICAGO--Hanwha Q CELLS USA is expanding its capabilities in the commercial rooftop segment, offering a one stop solution for commercial customers. The new commercial division will include a dedicated analytics team to identify and evaluate potential customers.

"The commercial segment is poised for significant growth over the next few years," said Moonhwan Cha, president of Hanwha Q CELLS USA. "Large commercial energy users are finding tremendous value in solar's ability to lock in energy prices for decades, improving the bottom line and increasing operational reliability with onsite power. The high performance of Hanwha Q CELLS systems generates the greatest payback for your investment."

With deep resources and experience across the solar value chain, Hanwha Q CELLS offers a one stop solution for bankable commercial systems, from initial assessment to on-going operation. Hanwha Q CELLS commercial rooftop services include:

*Roof inspection and feasibility assessment – Facility evaluation for a Hanwha Q CELLS system.

Hanwha Q CELLS modules were recently rated by Photon Laboratory, an independent global authority on solar performance, with a 105 percent performance ratio, the highest of all modules tested. The high energy yield of Hanwha Q CELLS modules enables the company to design systems with the lowest levelized cost of energy, lowering customer energy bills with a bankable system while also lowering their carbon footprint.
