Event runs Sept. 16-18 at Bexco in Busan
Theme: 'Climate tech driving massive change'
Company to introduce solar modules, power plant monitoring and operation systems and more
Hanwha Qcells, the Qcells division of Hanwha Solutions, said Wednesday it will take part in the 2026 Climate Industry Expo. At the event, the company plans to present a range of solutions spanning the solar industry, from modules that generate solar energy to systems that operate power plants.
The Climate Industry Expo is Korea's largest climate and energy industry exhibition. It is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Climate, Environment and Energy, the International Energy Agency, the World Bank and Busan Metropolitan City. It is organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Korea Energy Agency and others. This year's expo will run Sept. 16-18 at Bexco in Busan under the theme "Climate Tech Driving Massive Change: A Leap Toward a Decarbonized World."
Hanwha Qcells plans to walk visitors step by step through the entire process of eco-friendly energy, from production to supply, while showing the role its energy solutions play at each stage.
The company will first introduce its solar module solutions, which handle energy production. Alongside its mainstay general solar modules, it will exhibit agrivoltaic modules tailored for so-called sunlight income villages, designed to help supplement farmers' income. Hanwha Qcells will also display a physical sample of the perovskite-crystalline silicon tandem cell, a next-generation solar cell it is developing with an eye toward commercialization.
At the Hanwha Qcells booth, visitors can also get a glimpse of how future power plants will be run and how the electricity market works. They can try out AI-powered power plant operation simulations, including the company's Q.HUB monitoring application and a virtual power plant control page.
The company will also introduce power supply methods that are diversifying as electricity demand grows. These include power purchase agreements (PPA), which let companies that need energy contract directly with power plants to receive stable, cost-effective renewable electricity, and the distributed energy model Solar Smart City. Together, the exhibits trace how electricity generated at solar plants reaches the businesses that use it.
"This Climate Industry Expo is an opportunity to confirm the standing of Korea's climate industry, which is active in the global market," said Yoo Jae-yeol, head of Hanwha Qcells' Korea business division. "Building on the range of solutions we will present at this expo, Hanwha Qcells will continue working to contribute to the growth of Korea's eco-friendly energy industry."
