    White Paper QUALITY MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE Nicole Nelles, Max B. Koentopp & Sandra Scholz, Hanwha Q CELLS GmbH, Thalheim, Germany Quality makes all the difference. This axiom applies in particular to products which are expected to function and deliver constant performance over long periods. With a service life of 25 years or more, photovoltaic modules definitely belong to this category. Yet, in spite of this awareness, superior quality permits only a very slight increase in prices in the solar industry. When it comes to buying, the overriding argument contin- ues to be the price, and brutal competition has driven this down to ruinous levels in recent years – proof of which is the constant consolidation in the sector. But why is this the case? From the customer’s point of view, is it really right to base a decision to buy almost entirely on the initial investment? “DEMONSTRATING THE Admittedly there are, at first sight, few reasons for buying a more expensive product: the visible differences between solar modules are very small.

As such, the G20 became the premier forum for international economic cooperation. However, governments alone cannot address the most pressing challenges facing the global economy. To be effective, solutions must also involve the active participation of business and civil society. Indeed, the global business community has been playing its part in efforts to generate new growth and create the jobs needed to consolidate the economic recovery.
