For ground-mounted systems, the 156-half-cell module (Qpeak Duo XL-G10) delivers up to 495 watts. This is up to 20 per cent more module power than a standard module with 156 half cells. The smaller version with 132 half-cells delivers 415 watts for installations on residential buildings.

Both the 132-half-cell and 156-half-cell versions have an efficiency of 20.9 and 21.6 per cent, respectively. The zero-gap technology used by Qcells eliminates space between cells to capture more solar energy. With the higher yield per surface area, the G10 series helps to further reduce the cost of the solar system. Qcells say that the black version of the G10 series (Qpeak Duo BLK-G10) will be available in Europe in the second half of this year. (mfo)
