Under the contract, Hanwha Q CELLS, along with its subsidiary Enable, will be responsible for supplying solar modules to solar power plants in the United States for the next two years. The duo will also provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services.

We will continue to seize business opportunities in the renewable energy sector and accelerate our growth.”
