- Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH Energy-Independent Home Powered by Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH Receives Prestigious Award from German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology
The Hörmann family home in Zusmarshausen, Germany is entirely independent of the local power grid. It relies on a Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH solar power system working in tandem with a fuel cell for all its energy needs, from electricity and heating to even charging the family car. Hailed for demonstrating that it is possible for a house to be CO2-neutral and not rely on external power sources, the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology awarded the Hörmann family home, the Federal Prize for Outstanding Innovative Achievements.
The Hörmann family was well-prepared for building an energy-independent home. As owners and operators of Hörmann Solartechnik, a Zusmarshausen-based solar installation firm, they are well aware of the pros and cons of the many solar energy systems available on the market. As participants in Hanwha Q CELLS GmbHs Q.PARTNER Program, there was no question as to which brand the Hörmanns would select for their own home.
“It was clear to us, right from the start, that we would implement our own solar system with Hanwha Q CELLS GmbHs modules,” said Rita Hörmann, Managing Director of Hörmann Solartechnik. “As solar installers, weve had plenty of positive experiences with the extremely high performance and durability, as well as the beautiful design, of the Q CELLS modules.”
Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH is incredibly proud to play such an important role in a structure as forward-thinking as the Hörmann family home and hope that the house will serve as an example for other German homeowners.
“It is very important for us to increase homeowners acceptance of solar power and we are pleased to be doing this with one of our Q.PARTNERS,” said Maengyoon Kim, Hanwha Q CELLS GmbHs Head of EU Sales. “All of us here at Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH salute the Hörmann family and Hörmann Solartechnik on their energy self-sufficient home.”

- PT. Hanwha Life Insurance Indonesia PT. Hanwha Life Insurance Indonesia Advocates for Road Safety and Insurance Protection During Eid al-Fitr
PT. Hanwha Life Insurance Indonesia handed out 10,000 free 14-day personal accident insurance policies as part of its “Teman Mudik Hanwha” or “Hanwha, Your Safe Travel Buddy” CSR campaign. Coinciding with Eid al-Fitr, a holiday commemorating the end of Ramadan and one of Indonesias busiest travel seasons, this campaign aimed to educate Indonesians the importance of being protected.
Eid al-Fitr is an incredibly busy time in Indonesia as Muslims across the country travel home to celebrate with their families. With many more cars and buses on the road than usual, accident rates normally spike during this holiday period.
Throughout the Teman Mudik Hanwha campaign, PT. Hanwha Life Insurance Indonesia conducted various activities to remind motorists to stay safe on the road, and the benefits of having insurance protection as well. A pop-up booth was even set up at a rest area on one of the busiest highways going in and out of Jakarta to increase the campaigns visibility.
The Teman Mudik Hanwha campaign proved to be very popular, with the free personal accident insurance policies all quickly snapped up by the public. PT. Hanwha Life Insurance Indonesia hopes that the roads of Indonesia will become safer, and that Indonesians are more aware on the importance of being properly insured.
