Samsung and Q CELLS shake hands to provide ‘zero energy home’ solutions

On July 2, Samsung and Q CELLS announced a new imperative partnership that will help the two companies combine their technologies to provide “zero energy home” solutions.

The zero energy home is the only source of energy for energy taken from the home itself. This satisfaction is achieved by both generating energies through renewable energy such as the sun and reducing energy consumption through efficient devices.

Speaking about the new partnership, Jaeseung Lee, president and head of Samsung Electronics’ Digital Appliances Business, said, “We look forward to our collaboration with Q CELLS expanding our presence and strengthening the Samsung brand in global markets. We anticipate great synergy between Samsung’s smart home appliances and SmartThings platform, and Q CELLS’ solar energy and storage solutions.”

Under the new partnership, the two companies will work towards new solutions where Samsung SmartThings Energy service is connected to Q CELLS solar modules and energy storage systems (ESS). This solution would allow homeowners to generate and store their energy and use the SmartThings IoT platform to monitor and improve the energy consumption of their home appliances and heat pumps (EHS, Eco Heating System).

For example, the solution can automatically switch platform-connected home appliances to night-saving energy or cloudy days, when solar energy levels are low.

Q CELLS CEO Hee Cheul (Charles) Kim added that, “We expect the partnership between these two Korean companies to provide our global customer base with even more competitive energy solutions. We are hopeful that synergizing with Samsung Electronics will help strengthen our leading position in the global residential energy market.”
