Q CELLS Peak Duo Solar Panel Series

Recently we have added the Q CELLS Peak Duo Solar Panel series to our range of solar panels available for purchase and installation. Boasting a range of technological advancements and innovations such as their Q.ANTUM cell technology, Q CELLS solar panels are produced with a focus on efficiency.

The Peak Duo series of solar panels are driven by German engineering and their confidence is shown in the healthy 12 year product warranty as well as a linear 25 year performance warranty. Q CELLS was the first solar module manufacturer to participate, and pass, the Quality Tested program of the VDE.

Q.ANTUM DUO Technology

A key reason behind the impressive solar efficiency that Q CELLS boasts is their proprietary Q.ANTUM DUO technology which combines advanced cell separation technology with rounded wires replacing the typical ribbons that separate solar cells. Both of these innovations serve to maximise the amount of light that can be absorbed by the panel.

While the power we get from a Q.ANTUM panel is increased, these advancements also improve the overall reliability of the panel. By minimising the impact of LeTID they ensure low initial degradation and the half cell design lessens “cell stress” which lowers the chance or micro cracks. It is for these reasons they can offer the 25 year performance warranty on the panels.

How Q.ANTUM DUO Technology Works

Q CELLS Q.ANTUM DUO Key Factors

12 Busbar Technology

By reducing the distance between busbars they are able to create additional paths for electrical current which results in a power increase of 2%. More paths equals lower gonestion and while this doesn’t seem like much initially, it adds up.

Half-Cell Technology

By halving the typical cell size they are able change the layout of solar modules to reduce the distance travelled by the electrical current. As with all electricity, less travel equals less power lost and this increases the power generated by 3%.

Wire Interconnection

By using rounded wires instead of the standard flat and wide ribbons to connect cells they are able to decrease effective shading by 75%. The wires also help maximise the amount of light absorbed by the panel resulting in a 2.5% power increase.

Attention To Detail

Solar module manufacturing has become extremely competitive and this is of benefit to the consumer as companies look to innovate in order to stand above the rest. Q CELLS seem to have given focus to just about every component of their solar panels and these improvements pair well with their technological innovations.

Taking a look at the often forgotten about back of their solar panels we can see a bunch of improvements. The frame is wider at the back, coming in at 32 mm and this means the panel can withstand higher winds and heavy snow loads. They have optimised the junction box for increased yield and corrosion protection.

The backside of the panel is made from high quality materials which keeps it sealed and prevents deterioration over time. The Stäubli MC4 connector itself has increased cable length for easier routing and optimally positioned drainage holes protect against frost damage.

The front has all the features we have discussed so far such as Q.ANTUM DUO cells and 12 busbar technology. The module is halved which is becoming standard as this lessens the impact of partial shading. They implemented what they call “Anti PID Technology” and this aims to reduce power loss through Potential-Induced Degradation.

Q CELLS DUO G Series Benefits

Panels achieve optimal yields in any climate with great performance in low-light and temperature behaviour.

Tested to provide complete stability in high winds which is further improved by our use of Powerwave solar racking.

Separated lower and upper module halves means partial shading has a lesser impact on the panels output.

All of their products are backed by a 12 year product warranty and a 25 year linear performance warranty for peace of mind.
