Solar Giant Qcells to Assemble Battery Storage Systems in America
Qcells, a leading manufacturer of solar panels and energy technologies, has announced that it will now produce its latest Q.Home Core G3 battery energy storage system products in America, through a partnership with Michigan-based manufacturing firm, Jabil.
This expands Qcells’ manufacturing presence in America. The company has already invested almost $3 billion, primarily for its solar panel factory in Georgia.
The Continued Rise of America’s Solar and Battery Storage Industry
This latest news is another win for America’s energy sector. Significant policy incentives have attracted large-scale investments from the world’s largest renewable energy companies. Production tax credits mean that companies can produce solar cells, wafers, and battery modules domestically, ensuring lower costs for both producers and consumers.
Tariffs on imported solar and battery products have also helped to attract new investment.
More Options for Long Island Families Considering Battery Energy Storage Systems
The news of Qcells expanding its manufacturing presence also means that there is now more domestic availability of solar batteries.
Homeowners on Long Island already have compelling battery energy storage options, like Generac’s PWRcell and Tesla’s Powerwall. The Q.Home Core G3 battery is now a potential alternative.
The Benefits of a Battery Energy Storage System for Homes
Solar batteries offer lasting benefits like reduced energy costs and backup for emergencies.
Long Island families can consider battery energy storage systems for:
- More Energy Independence: A battery system can store excess energy produced by solar panels. When deployed, this energy reduces reliance on the utility grid.
- Backup Power: Outages on Long Island are frequent, particularly in winter or during severe weather events. A battery energy storage system can provide seamless backup power during a grid outage. Unlike a traditional generator, there’s no fuel or fumes.
- Load Optimization: Homeowners can use battery backup systems to efficiently balance their power supply load and enjoy bigger savings. Energy can be stored and deployed during peak hours to avoid the highest Time of Use rates. Stored energy can also be exported to the grid to generate credits on a PSEG LI account.
Solar panels alone can generate significant savings. Combining Long Island solar panels with a battery backup system will maximize the savings and ensure the best possible return on investment.
