- Hanwha Q CELLS Australia Pty. Ltd. Q CELLS FINANCE is a Brighte Spot in the Australian Solar Landscape
Hanwha Q CELLS Australia is excited to be able to announce the launch of Q CELLS FINANCE, the first ever consumer finance product offered by Hanwha Q CELLS.
Having gone live in September 2018, Q CELLS FINANCE is an innovative system that allows vendors to be paid up front for their effort while allowing customers to shop around for flexible payment plans so they can switch to solar energy as soon as possible. By catering to both sides of the solar power marketplace, Hanwha Q CELLS is making its high-performance solar modules and energy storage systems more accessible to more Australians.
Q CELLS FINANCE is powered by Brighte, a multi-award-winning Australian finance platform for solar power. The partnership between Hanwha Q CELLS and Brighte was a natural one. With Australian energy prices are soaring at astronomical rates, Hanwha Q CELLS and Brighte believe that all Australians deserve access to products aimed at reducing the cost of living, and to harness the benefits of solar today with the ability to pay off the system over time.
“Q CELLS is proud to partner with Brighte because we both share the same mission of trying to make quality solar more affordable and accessible to everyday Australians,” says Patrick Duignan, Managing Director for Hanwha Q CELLS Australia Pty.

- Hanwha Advanced Materials (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Hanwha Advanced Materials Beijing Marches Again for Harmony
Employees of Hanwha Advanced Materials Beijing recently had the chance to enjoy the autumn weather during their second annual “March for Harmony” event in October. It was inspired by Hanwha’s annual “March for Love” that takes place in Seoul, Korea.
During the event, employees spent the day learning about Hanwha Advanced Materials Beijing’s corporate vision, walked together as a group, and also took part in a tea reception. The employees walked through two different courses, five kilometers and ten kilometers long respectively, that took them around a beautiful blue lake and a park where the leaves were taking on a brilliant orange tinge.
All participants felt that the walk with their colleagues through the beautiful surroundings and pleasant weather helped them relieve a lot of the stress they’d been internalizing. The walk also helped everyone at the first foreign affiliate of Hanwha Advanced Materials develop a stronger and more unified bond that will allow the company to go further together through this shared experience. - Hanwha Chemical (Ningbo) Co., Ltd.

Hanwha Q CELLS Qidong Takes the Fast Track to Business Growth
Hanwha Q CELLS Qidong has harnessed the rapidly rising popularity of high-speed rail in China to launch a new strategic commercial campaign to encourage solar power adoption. Taking advantage of October’s “Golden Week”, when the number of travelers dramatically spikes, Hanwha Q CELLS advertising was rolled out across three major stations along China’s high-speed rail network.
Passengers going through Hangzhou East Rail Station, Guangzhou South Rail Station, and Jinan Rail Station will get to see a short ten second video playing on the stations’ screens. The videos feature three key messages that foster confidence in Hanwha Q CELLS: “Make solar your better choice”, “German quality, worthy of your trust” and “A Fortune Global 500 company, providing security for Q.Partners”.
Hanwha Q CELLS messaging will also be on full display on trains running from Shanghai Hongqiao Station to Zhengzhou East Station, as they stop at major Chinese solar energy markets along the way. Advertisements have been strategically placed on seat headrests with the Q CELLS logo, Q.Partners hotline number, and a QR code prominently visible so that passengers will not be able to miss them on their journey.
This advertising campaign will run from October to December of 2018. It is the first time Hanwha Q CELLS Qidong has targeted high-speed rail travelers, and the company is looking forward to expanding its customer base in China through this campaign.

- Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH The Mad Scientist of Thalheim Receives Gold
The beaming face of Michael Mette, of Hanwha Q CELLS Germany, brought much merriment to Hanwha around the world during the Tricircle Photo Contest that was held earlier this year. In October of 2018, he was recognized and rewarded for his contribution to the Hanwha Spirit with a gold medal presented by Albert Park, Assistant Manager of Global Marketing and Communications at Hanwha Q CELLS.
Michael’s winning submission, in which he takes the role of a cackling mad scientist as three of his teammates form the Hanwha Tricircle with orange hula hoops, creatively juxtaposed levity and technology to encapsulate the dedication and camaraderie that is abundantly present at Hanwha Q CELLS in Thalheim, Germany. The gold medal serves as a perfect complement to the trophy Michael received earlier in the year in acknowledgement of his winning photo.
Upon receiving the medal, Michael thanked all the judges who voted for his entry and said that he is now pouring his creative energy into an entry for the Hanwha PROUD. campaign that is running from November of 2018.

- Hanwha Q CELLS America Inc. Hanwha Q CELLS Features Solar Products from its Dalton, Georgia Factory at Solar Power International 2018
Hanwha Q CELLS was in sunny California recently to participate in Solar Power International (SPI) 2018, America’s largest solar event. Held at the Anaheim Convention Center from September 25 to 27, SPI 2018 featured 750 exhibitors and saw over 20,000 visitors – many of whom flocked to Hanwha Q CELLS’ booth, the largest at the event.
Visitors to Hanwha Q CELLS’ booth were impressed by the bright and modern exhibition design, which won SPI 2018’s Best Booth Design Award. Many were impressed by the collection of products on display, including the Q.PEAK DUO L-G5.3/BF, a prototype bifacial solar module that can produce electricity from sunlight hitting both its front and back sides, giving it an advantage over traditional monofacial modules. Of particular interest to the American audience were the three solar modules (Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G6, Q.PLUS DUO L-G5.2 and Q.PEAK DUO L-G5.2) from the new Georgia factory, which is expected to finish construction by January 2019.
Once live, the Dalton plant will be the largest solar module manufacturing facility in the Americas. Those interested in getting up close and personal with Hanwha Q CELLS’ manufacturing processes could strap on a virtual reality headset and take a tour of the company’s smart manufacturing system and module testing procedures.
Visitors also got a peek at the Q.HOME energy storage system currently available in Europe as a preview of other types of solar energy products that are being readied for launch in the United States. A special golf event, featuring the Hanwha Q CELLS golf team, also took place during the first two days of SPI 2018. Visitors were able to meet and receive golf lessons from Eun-hee Ji, Jenny Shin, and Nelly Korda, in addition to winning prizes such as autographed balls, golf umbrellas, and more! - Hanwha Azdel Inc.
