Qcells announced it will collaborate with contractor manufacturer Jabil to make residential energy storage systems in Michigan.
Q.HOME CORE G3
Assembled at Jabil’s Auburn Hills, Michigan facility, the new LFP battery storage system is a domestic-content-eligible version of Qcells’ third-generation residential ESS, known as Q.HOME CORE G3. The product is now commercially available and ready to ship to customers nationwide.
Qcells already has experience with Jabil, which makes microinverters in Michigan for Qcells AC module products.
“Teaming up with Jabil to launch the domestic content version of the Q.HOME CORE G3 battery system marks a significant milestone for Qcells, as we accelerate our efforts to create an integrated domestic solar-plus-storage supply chain,” said Il Hyeong No, head of Qcells North America’s Residential Business. “Pairing our solar panels from Georgia with our battery systems from Michigan can help unlock significant value for homeowners, particularly when installed in the ‘Grid Support’ configuration, paving the way for utility bill savings.”
Q.HOME CORE G3 pairs with Qcells’ AC module products, Q.PEAK DUO AC and Q.TRON AC, which are both assembled in Georgia with the Michigan-manufactured microinverters. Qcells has a vast solar panel manufacturing base in Georgia.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Qcells on assembling the domestic content version of their Q.HOME CORE G3 here in the United States,” said Brent Tompkins, senior VP of Global Business Units, Renewables and Energy Infrastructure, at Jabil. “By combining advanced energy storage innovation with scalable U.S.-based production, this initiative can help strengthen domestic supply chains, support job creation and accelerate the adoption of reliable, clean energy nationwide.”
Jabil is no stranger to the solar and storage markets. The contract manufacturer has previously produced components for Power Electronics, SolarEdge, Powin and more.
