Common questions about Qcells
How much do Qcells solar panels cost?
Qcells closed its Australian subsidiary in February 2024, so Qcells Australia no longer sells new panels here. We don't print a price for a brand that isn't sold through its own Australian business.
Can I still buy Qcells panels in Australia?
Qcells closed its Australian subsidiary in February 2024 (pv magazine Australia, 16 February 2024). If an installer offers Qcells panels, ask where the stock came from and who backs the warranty.
Who handles Qcells warranty claims in Australia?
When it closed its Australian subsidiary, Qcells said its modules and batteries stay covered by their manufacturer warranties, with after-sales support administered by the Australian firm Zeco (pv magazine Australia, 16 February 2024).
Where is Qcells based?
Qcells is headquartered in South Korea. Ask your installer where the stock they're quoting was made, as manufacturing locations vary by product line.
