Qcells Announces Michigan-Based Manufacturing Collaboration with Jabil for Domestic Content Eligible Residential Battery Storage

• This collaboration builds off previous investments Qcells and its parent company, Hanwha, have made to onshore the assembly of solar-plus-storage products used by Qcells customers, including microinverters, bringing the total investment to $17 million to-date.
• Qcells’ residential energy storage system – named Q.HOME CORE G3 – can contribute to unlocking the domestic content adder bonus for eligible projects, while helping to drive down household energy costs and support the creation of American manufacturing jobs
• Q.HOME CORE G3 integrates optimally with Qcells solar panels and EnFin by Qcells third-party ownership (TPO) financing, enabling a single, complete residential solar-plus-storage solution backed by one brand, one warrantor.

[Irvine, CA, May 7, 2026] Qcells, a leading complete energy solutions provider, announced its collaboration with Jabil, a global engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions provider, to offer its first domestically assembled residential energy storage system (ESS) to the U.S. residential solar and energy storage market. Assembled at Jabil’s Auburn Hills, Michigan facility, the new battery storage system is a domestic content eligible version of Qcells’ third-generation residential ESS, known as Q.HOME CORE G3. The product is now commercially available and ready to ship to customers nationwide.

Today’s announcement marks a continuation of Qcells’ existing collaboration with Jabil to assemble Qcells microinverters in Michigan, which are used for Qcells AC module products. To-date, Qcells and Hanwha have invested a total of $17 million in residential solar-plus-storage manufacturing in Michigan. This latest investment–totaling $11.6 million–in advanced manufacturing operations for Q.HOME CORE G3 and future ESS products is expected to contribute to job growth at Jabil’s Auburn Hills, Michigan factory.

These investments in Michigan reflect Qcells’ broader commitment to onshoring its domestic clean energy supply chain and boosting local economies. In Georgia, Qcells has invested nearly $3 billion in building a U.S. solar supply chain, and is closing in on completing the construction of a one-of-a-kind factory in Cartersville, GA that will build critical solar components – ingots, wafers, cells and modules – under one roof.

“Teaming up with Jabil to launch the domestic content version of the Q.HOME CORE G3 battery system marks a significant milestone for Qcells, as we accelerate our efforts to create an integrated domestic solar-plus-storage supply chain,” said Il Hyeong No, head of Qcells North America’s Residential Business. “Pairing our solar panels from Georgia with our battery systems from Michigan can help unlock significant value for homeowners, particularly when installed in the ‘Grid Support’ configuration, paving the way for utility bill savings.”

Q.HOME CORE G3 pairs seamlessly with Qcells’ AC module products, Q.PEAK DUO AC and Q.TRON AC, which are both assembled in Georgia, as well as integrated microinverters manufactured in Michigan. Combined, the products make up a cohesive AC-coupled system architecture, designed to maximize performance, simplify system installation, and reduce energy bills for homeowners. Together, the technologies round out a complete home energy solution defined by streamlined system design, installation and after-market support, all backed by a single brand and warrantor.

“We’re excited to collaborate with Qcells on assembling the domestic content version of their Q.HOME CORE G3 here in the United States,” said Brent Tompkins, senior vice president of Global Business Units, Renewables and Energy Infrastructure, at Jabil. “By combining advanced energy storage innovation with scalable U.S.-based production, this initiative can help strengthen domestic supply chains, support job creation and accelerate the adoption of reliable, clean energy nationwide.”

Built for energy economics, Q.HOME CORE G3’s “Grid Support” configuration helps homeowners avoid costly utility rates by charging their battery with excess daytime solar or off-peak utility power and dispatching stored energy for consumption during on-peak rates in the evening. Homeowners impacted by frequent power outages also have the option to add battery backup capabilities for extra grid resilience.

Q.HOME CORE G3’s integration with competitive financing products offered by Qcells’ in-house financier, EnFin by Qcells, allows homeowners to access flexible TPO products including Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and leasing options. Combining Q.HOME CORE G3 with EnFin financing enables access to affordable solar and storage through a single ecosystem—delivering a streamlined, end-to-end residential energy platform for both installers and homeowners.

Qcells will formally debut its domestic content Q.HOME CORE G3 product at scheduled roadshow events this month. For more information on Q.HOME CORE G3, visit: https://us.qcells.com/qhome-core-g3/.
