Hanwha Solutions said Tuesday that its Qcells division has launched Qcells New Homes, a unit that will supply solar panels and battery storage directly to homebuilders in the United States, expanding its footprint in the American residential energy market. Aiming to fill a gap in the residential clean energy market, the division will work with builders from the design phase, integrating solar and battery systems into new homes rather than retrofitting them — a model the company says cuts costs and simplifies installation. Qcells New Homes will initially launch in California, where a state mandate in effect since 2020 requires most newly built homes to include rooftop solar, before expanding nationwide. Homebuilders on the platform will receive solar panels manufactured at Qcells' Georgia factory along with domestically produced battery systems, permitting support, installation assistance and post-installation monitoring through a single point of contact. The company describes itself as the only direct-from-manufacturer solar and storage partner serving the new home construction market
