Qcells, a leading clean energy company, has earned the Global Electronics Council’s (GEC) prestigious EPEAT certification for its residential and commercial solar panels. This recognition affirms Qcells’ dedication to sustainability and makes its products eligible for federal government procurement under the new Federal Acquisition Requirements (FAR).
EPEAT’s certification process assesses products across four critical sustainability impact areas: climate change, chemicals of concern, circularity and sustainable use of resources, and corporate environmental and social governance (ESG) performance. By meeting these stringent criteria, Qcells’ solar panels demonstrate their environmental credentials and support customers in achieving their own ESG goals.
In addition to the EPEAT certification, Qcells’ solar panels will also be subject to the GEC’s newly announced requirement for registered solar panels and inverter products to have an embodied carbon level below a given threshold. This measure ensures that manufacturers consider the carbon footprint of their production processes and promotes the development of low-carbon solar solutions.
Qcells’ commitment to sustainability extends beyond its solar panels. The company is actively working to establish a fully domestic solar supply chain in the United States and offers a comprehensive portfolio of renewable energy products and services. By partnering with Qcells, customers can contribute to their own sustainability goals and support the transition to a clean energy future.
