TURN YOUR ROOF INTO A PROFIT
CENTER
INSTALL A PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ROOFS BECOME ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY POWER
PLANTS WHEN EQUIPPED WITH A PV SYSTEM, REDUCING OPERATING COSTS AND
RESULTING IN RELIABLE RETURNS.
AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF INCOME
Enormous revenue potential is on roofs of in-
dustrial and commercial buildings. Put it to
work. By installing a photovoltaic system, you
can produce clean electricity from sunshine
to feed into the electric grid. Green electric-
ity is promoted or subsidized in many coun-
tries via feed-in tariffs, green certifcates,
investment subsidies or tax incentives.
You can reduce your companys power con-
sumption bill and hence sustainably reduce
the permanently soaring operating expenses
caused by power consumption. Own con-
sumption is even supported in some coun-
tries and is therefore particularly attractive.
As an alternative to ownership of a PV system,
you can opt to sublet your roof, contributing to
environmental conservation and making extra
income.

Underutilized Potential:
With the current feed-in tariffs, a roof area
of 18,000 sqm equals a present value of
3 million if a solar plant is installed for
20 years.

FROM KILOWATT TO MEGAWATT
In the feld of industrial and commercial
rooftop stations with capacities ranging from
100 kilowatts to one megawatt, Q-Cells of-
fers fully customized, all-inclusive solutions,
covering planning, construction, mainte-
nance and service, all from a single source.
Ask us and well offer a free, no strings at-
tached PV consulting service in order to de-
termine your particular potential. We analyze
and evaluate your roof surface with regard to
all technical, fnancial, fscal and operational
parameters, and develop an optimal solution
to suit your business, depending on the type
and size of the roof, irradiation and yield po-
tential. This is part of our standard service,
regardless of whether you are interested in
investing in a PV system or subletting your
rooftop.
ENDLESS ENERGY, ENDLESS ADVANTAGES
Investments in photovoltaic systems promise
eminently more attractive and secure returns
than many other investment opportunities;
returns of up to 13 % are feasible, depend-
ing on national support schemes. Moreover,
a PV system increases the value of your
commercial real estate and offers an array
of tax advantages. In addition to auspicious
fnancing and depreciation schemes, a solar
power station on your roof will also enhance
the environmental image of your company. A
PV station is visible proof of the sustainable
strategy your company is pursuing as well as
a valuable contribution to the preservation of
resources and environment, and the reduc-
tion of CO

INVEST OR LEASE?
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Q-CELLS OFFERS FLEXIBLE BUSINESS MODELS AND OPTIONS FOR MAKING PROFIT FROM
THE SUN. WE OFFER CONSULTING SERVICES AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO ARRANGE
A SOLAR PLANT ON YOUR ROOF.
TWO MODELS, THREE STEPS
In addition to investing in your own PV
rooftop plant, subletting roof surfaces of-
fers an alternative method for generating
income from unused rooftop space. If a
company chooses this option, it makes its
roof surfaces available for the construc-
tion of a PV plant by a third-party provider
for 20 years and receives annual rent in
return, or a lump sum can be negotiated.
This may be of particular interest if a roof
needs refurbishing as this can then be f-
nanced by the lease. Regardless which of
the two models interests you lease or
investment we will frst offer you differ-
ent options in order for you to asses the
fnancial and technological possibilities.
We analyze your location with regard to all
technical, fnancial, legal and economical
parameters and, depending on the type and
size of roof, irradiation and yield potential,
we offer an optimized solution to suit your
needs. All the services you need for the
entire project period are provided directly
by Q-Cells. Financial support as well as the
operation and maintenance of the plant
can also be provided upon request. When
you entrust Q-Cells with end-to-end project
management, you will ensure optimum re-
turn on investment. Close cooperation with
our partner network from building contrac-
tors to investors and banks, enhances our
fexibility to minimize your risk. Contact us
free of charge for a personal consultation.

Q.PRO - G2 230-250
Reliability and safety have a new name
MULTICRYSTALLINE SOLAR MODULE
The multicrystalline solar module Q.PRO - G2 is our classic for residential rooftop installations.
Q.PRO - G2 is the safest and most reliable multicrystalline solar module because thanks to our new
Q-Cells technologies, it is the worldwide frst PID resistant
1
and Hot-Spot free solar module on the
market. This makes Q.PRO - G2 your safe choice for secure yields.
THE NEW Q-CELLS GENERATION
Anti PID Technology (APT)
1
: No power loss
caused by potential induced degradation.
Traceable Quality (Tra.Q
TM
): First trace-
able and forgery proof solar module on the
market.
New cell concept with reduced serial resis-
tance: Increased power on module level.
VDE Quality Tested with continuous aging
tests: Long-term secure quality.
THE PROVEN Q-CELLS VALUES
Hot-Spot Protect (HSP): Increased fre
and performance safety.
Positive sorting +5 / -0 W: Extra output.
Tested for wind / snow loads up to 5400 Pa:
Strong in every weather condition.
25-year performance warranty, 10-year
product warranty
2
: Secure investment.
1
APT test conditions: Cells at -600 V against frame, wet module surface, 25 C, 300 h
2
Performance warranty: min. 97 % of nominal power in year 1; max. 0.6 % degradation per year from year 2; min. 83 % of nominal power after 25 years. Full product and performance warranties in accordance with the valid
regional warranty terms.
