Hanwha Solution's Q CELLS division (Hanwha Q CELLS) has confirmed Yangsan operations starting in July following the completion of cell production lines at its Cartersville, Georgia, plant in the United States.

With this Yangsan launch, Hanwha Q CELLS has completed the final key process of vertical integration, following the already operational ingot, wafer, and module lines, thereby finishing the construction of its integrated solar production hub in the U.S.

The solar hub is the only production base in the United States that vertically integrates the major solar value chain from ingot to wafer, cell, and module. Hanwha Q CELLS' production capacity in the U.S. has reached 3.3 gigawatts (GW) each for ingots, wafers, and cells, and 8.6 GW for modules [1], making it the largest among solar manufacturing companies in North America producing silicon-based modules.

With the full value chain of the solar hub now operational, the increased use of U.S.-made components is expected to provide premium benefits in the U.S. market, which favors domestic products.

In a phone interview with this newspaper, a Hanwha official stated, "The completion of the U.S. solar hub is a milestone that reflects the fruits of the technology and business capabilities that Hanwha Q CELLS has consistently accumulated despite external uncertainties and market changes."

Another official added, "The Yangsan operations at the Georgia plant are expected to serve as a turning point for Hanwha Q CELLS to realize substantial growth and profitability improvements, thereby enhancing corporate value."
