11. is Hanwha Q CELLS´ solution for the post-FIT era
WHAT IS Q.ANTUM?
Q.ANTUM is Hanwha Q CELLS’ unique cell concept based on the sophisticated balancing of the whole cell architecture to maximize the energy yield while ensuring lowest LCOE.
Key technology features of Q.ANTUM are the patent protected rear side passivation technology via functional nanolayers, the passivated rear contacts including local doping, the high performance emitter profile and the patent protected defect engineering leading to an increased current collection avoiding any bulk degradation mechanisms.
Q.ANTUM technology holds the world efficiency record for polycrystalline-based cell modules (19.5 % / 301 Wp).
Q.ANTUM technology has been matured and proven in mass production.
Q.ANTUM technology ensures a cell efficiency of up to 22 % and makes a module power of 340 W possible.
What is unique on the Q.ANTUM cell concept? Key technology features of Q.ANTUM are the patent protected rear side passivation technology by functional nanolayers, the passivated rear contacts including local doping, the high performance emitter profile and the patent protected defect engineering leading to an increased current collection avoiding bulk degradation mechanisms. This we will also see on the next slide.
Q.ANTUM Technology holds the world efficiency records for polycrystalline solar cells (19.5 %) and 60 cell modules (18.5 %). It is a matured technology , proven in mass production and Q.ANTUM has headroom up to 22 % cell efficiency (which leads to 340Wp modules)

12. Optimized power & technical application
HOW Q.ANTUM technology is working
THE Q.ANTUM MONO CELL
Experience from Q.ANTUM poly now applied to mono
Enhanced performance
Higher yields
In comparison to the standard poly-BSF cell concept, Q.ANTUM has an additional, functional nanolayer (red), which we call power reflector. It reflects sunlight, which was not absorbed by the silicone absorber, to increase the absorption probability by going through the absorber a 2nd time. By this the generation of positive and negative charges in the cells and due to this at the and the power is increase.
In addition, the functional nanolayer is passivating the rear side of the solar cell, which reduces the recombination losses (defects) which further increases the solar cell power.
These special features combined with a dark optical appearance makes Q.ANTUM to a LCOE and application optimized solar cell solution. And this I will show you on the following slides.

PERC mono
Power classes of competitors as seen during Intersolar 2016
(datasheet values, 60 cells PERC mono & n-type, June 2016)

16. POWER CLASSES - COMPETITORS´ OVERVIEW
WHY DOES Q.PEAK HAVE A CLEARLY HIGHER AVERAGE POWER CLASS THAN THE ONE OF MOST OF THE COMPETITORS?
Due to different solar cell dimensions, the cell area of the Q.ANTUM Mono cell ( x ; 210mm diagonal) is typically 2.2 % larger than the area of most competitors´ pseudo square solar cells
(156 x 156; 200mm diagonal)
Increase of power due to larger cell area
more concentrated power while module dimensions
remain the same
The long term experience in Q.ANTUM poly production, which is more challenging than mono production, results also in an efficiency advantage of Q.ANTUM Mono
more experienced in e.g. texturing, lasering, printing of such type of solar cells
“ANTI LID TECHNOLOGY” leads to higher power performance and enhanced warranty conditions

17. POWER CLASSES – COMPETITORS` OVERVIEW
PERFORMANCE WARRANTY & DEGRADATION
LID (Light induced degradation), which is an initial degradation effect of mono wafer-based solar cells (initial power loss of up to ~ 6%) is minimized for Q.ANTUM mono cells by a special production process (details are confidential).
Initial degradation/power loss in year 1 of the performance warranty (for poly 3%) is improved for Q.PEAK-G4.1/ Q.PEAK BLK-G4.1 to 2 %.
Guaranteed power after the first year is 98% of the labeled power class.
With increase in year 1 and the unchanged 0.6 %/year degradation after year 1, the guaranteed power in year 25 is 83.6 %.

Boron-Oxygen complexes permanently deactivated as part of ANTI-LID TECHNOLOGY B O e
Boron (B) and Oxygen (O) present from production can become B-O complexes. These reduce the number of electrons, causing a power drop. This is known as Light Induced Degradation (LID).
After Mono cells are produced they typically have unstable Boron-Oxygen complexes. The ANTI-LID TECHNOLOGY permanently deactivates B-O complexes resulting in significantly reduced LID.
