Qcells’ residential and commercial solar panels have achieved the stringent sustainability criteria set by the Global Electronics Council (GEC), making them one of the first solar panels to meet EPEAT’s new Federal Acquisition Requirements (FAR). This certification validates the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and aligns with the federal government’s goal to electrify buildings and fleets by 2050. EPEAT also announced a new requirement for registered solar panels and inverter products to have an embodied carbon level below a given threshold, ensuring manufacturers consider their carbon footprint in production.
