Bitterfeld-Wolfen / Munich (Germany) (ots) -

- Under the slogan "Quality is the best guarantee" Q.CELLS
presents its product portfolio at the trade fair to be held in
Munich from 13 to 15 June
- Seven innovations will be on show - from the innovative cell
concept Q.ANTUM to new solar modules and smart PV applications
- Press tour starts at 10:00 a.m. on 13 June at Q.CELLS'
booth

Under the slogan "Quality is the best guarantee", Q.CELLS
showcases its products and presents itself at booth A3.250 of this
year's Intersolar Europe to be held from 13 to 15 June. The company
undermines its technological leadership and the superior quality of
its products with numerous innovations in the field of photovoltaic
products, applications and services. Special highlights include the
record-breaking technology Q.ANTUM, which delivers an unprecedented
level of efficiency, a new generation of poly and mono crystal cells
plus updates to the company's Q.PRO and Q.PEAK solar modules, which
have been developed as product families featuring various module
formats. Additionally, Q.CELLS will be exhibiting a comprehensive PV
application range for the first time, underlining its successful
transformation from a component manufacturer to a PV solutions
provider. Along with its flat roof system Q.FLAT-G2, Q.CELLS has
begun offering its customers Q.PORT, a car port system for large
parking spaces plus Q.MEGA, a standard unit developed in-house for
the use of large PV projects. In the future, Q.MEGA will stand out by
the "quality tested certificate" of the association VDE, which stands
for the toughest quality control in the market place."

"Q.CELLS sets itself apart from the competition through the
quality and superior lifespan of its products -more than ever,"
stresses Clemens Jargon, head of sales & marketing and product
management. "As our recent successfully concluded projects prove, our
customers are banking on the reliability and high yields of Q.CELLS
products - even when times are tough. The shift from a seller´s to a
buyer´s market will make quality one of the most crucial competitive
advantages. And Q.CELLS clearly scores points on that front."

All of Q.CELLS' products carry a unique seal of quality - the
"Q.CELLS Yield Security". It combines three quality assurances in
one. Firstly, the company's solar cells and solar modules are inured
from hot spots. Secondly, thanks to an individual TRA.Q tag, each
product can be traced back. Finally, all Q.CELLS products have been
protected against power loss through PID (potential induced
degradation). A recent accelerated PID test conducted by Fraunhofer
CSP concluded that Q.CELLS modules thanks to newest technologies
suffered from absolutely no power loss whatsoever. Other types of
modules, meanwhile, suffered up to 90 per cent power loss due to PID.

SEVEN INNOVATIONS AT THE Q.CELLS BOOTH

At its Intersolar 2012 booth, Q.CELLS will reveal details of its
most recent developments, forward-looking technologies and smart
applications. All of them were "engineered in Germany", and all of
them are leading in terms of yield, quality and safety. The
confidence our customers have shown and a very low complaint rate of
0.025% demonstrate very clearly that quality is the best guarantee.
Q.CELLS will bring seven innovations to Munich:

- Q6LMXP3-G2: Our new mono cell generation is the engine for
record performance
- Q.PEAK-G2: The new 60-cell mono product sets standards for high
performance and appearance
- Q.PEAK S: The 48- cell mono solar module provides an ideal
addition to the 60 cell Q.PEAK-G2 module. It is especially
suited for smaller roofs, or those with nooks and crannys
- Q.PEAK BLK-G2: The latest generation of our mono-aesthete with
60 cells
- Q.PRO L: Featuring 72 cells, this poly modul expands our module
portfolio
- Q.PORT: The Q.CELLS carport solution will be exhibited as a
module and in miniature on a 1:2 scale
- Q.FLAT-G2: Our efficient solution for flat roofs - particularly
suited for use on commercial buildings

The comprehensive product portfolio on show underlines Q.CELLS'
strategic transformation from a component manufacturer to a provider
of PV solutions. And Q.CELLS is continuing to develop new and smart
applications. Along with Q.FLAT and Q.PORT, which are particularly
suitable for commercial buildings, Q.CELLS has started selling kits
with local partners in Japan some time ago. In the United Arab
Emirates, the company recently created that land's very first
off-grid system. As its portfolio widens, the company's technology
leadership on the cell level remains a reliable engine for all of
Q.CELLS' PV products.

NOTE for journalists: To mark the start of the trade show, Q.CELLS
will organise a press tour starting Wednesday June 13 at 10:00 a.m.
at the Q.CELLS booth A3.250, which will provide you with further
information about our product innovations.
