piaget ( 1952 ) did not explicitly relate his theory to education , although later researchers have explained how features of piaget ' s theory can be applied to teaching and learning .
before piaget’s work , the common assumption in psychology was that children are merely less competent thinkers than adults . piaget showed that young children think in strikingly different ways compared to adults .

piaget should not have oriented its design towards two real icons of swiss watchmaking . piaget always had its own clear design identity , so this close approach to patek philippe is definitively not my cup of tea . piaget should offer the polo s with interchangeable ( maybe even colorful ) bracelets ( rubber and / or other high - tech materials ) , to make it a real attractive watch for a younger clientele . piaget should also offer more dial colors .

the real breakthrough for piaget came at the start of the 1960s , when the brand daringly created and launched the first dials in hard stone : onyx , turquoise and lapis lazuli . piaget designed outstanding jewel watches , attracting an international elite , including , among others , jackie kennedy , gina lollobrigida and andy warhol , who would wear the piaget colours the world over . the brand became a trendsetter in the world of watch making .
the company was founded by georges édouard piaget in la côte - aux - fées , a small village in the swiss part of the jura , in 1874 . from his workshop on the family farn , georges began making movements that he supplied to other brands – typical of the “cottage industry” delocalized production that was a characteristic of swiss watchmaking in its early phases . but georges piaget’s movements were better than most and so he developed a prestige reputation , and his workshop grew . he was succeeded by his son timothée piaget who took over in 1911 , and the brand at last emerged in its own right from 1943 , when georges’ grandsons gérald and valentin piaget began making watches with the piaget name and established a distribution network .

to reduce thickness past the points already achieved , piaget needed to depart from tradition – and the case back as well . as the case back is really an extra layer simply covering ( and protecting ) the movement , piaget decided to integrate the two , making them one single , very thin piece .
because piaget ' s theory is based upon biological maturation and stages , the notion of ' readiness ' is important . readiness concerns when certain information or concepts should be taught . according to piaget ' s theory children should not be taught certain concepts until they have reached the appropriate stage of cognitive development .
because piaget conducted the observations alone the data collected are based on his own subjective interpretation of events . it would have been more reliable if piaget conducted the observations with another researcher and compared the results afterward to check if they are similar ( i . e . , have inter - rater reliability ) .
we are thrilled to introduce jessica chastain as our new international brand ambassador’ , explains philippe léopold - metzger , piaget ceo . ‘she embodies piaget’s unique values – from her audacious acting career choices to her unrelenting passion for perfection . she is beautiful , elegant , charismatic , and full of joy .
as several studies have shown piaget underestimated the abilities of children because his tests were sometimes confusing or difficult to understand ( e . g . , hughes , 1975 ) . piaget failed to distinguish between competence ( what a child is capable of doing ) and performance ( what a child can show when given a particular task ) . when tasks were altered , performance ( and therefore competence ) was affected . therefore , piaget might have underestimated children’s cognitive abilities .
according to piaget , children are born with a very basic mental structure ( genetically inherited and evolved ) on which all subsequent learning and knowledge are based .
as to legitimacy , the complainant says the respondent is not known by the name piaget , has never operated a bona fide or legitimate business under the domain name , is not making a protected noncommercial or fair use of it and has no permission from the complainant to use the piaget mark in this way .
the respondent did not reply formally to the complainant’s contentions but stated in an email to the center on may 14 , 2014 in response to formal notification of the complaint : “this domain is yours as far as i am concerned . i registered it so you can put in orders” and in another email on may 16 , 2014 : “this domain belongs to piaget . i release it . i registered it so users at piaget could order piaget material from lp macadams” .
well , the price is good for a piaget but the design looks , to use a favorite word of young home buyers on hgtv programs , dated .
piaget has close ties with venice and the restoration of its monuments . the haute horlogerie in its “secrets of venice” collection salutes the city . a piaget icon , the altiplano , features feather marquetry detail – each feather touched with silver – while the 40mm altiplano has 12 engraved appliques and stars crafted from gold or silver paillons ( spangles ) in two layers of grand feu enamel , inspired by the dial of the clock tower , which piaget was instrumental in restoring .
5 . since the beginning…  1874 - georges édouard piaget started making watches at la côte - aux - fées village in switzerland .  in 1957 , piaget introduced the calibre 9p , the first ultra - thin ( 2 mm ) , hand - wound watch .  after coin watches , ring watches , brooch watches and cufflink watches , piaget created their first pieces of jewellery  the luxury vendôme group , now richemont , purchased the piaget manufacture in 1988  it is member of the “council for responsible jewellery practices” & the “kimberley process certification scheme” , which guarantees that diamonds do not originate from an area of conflict
move over men , this watch article is for the women . in anticipation of the upcoming salon international de la haute horlogerie ( sihh ) watch exposition in geneva in january , piaget is unveiling a seductive new watch based on its rich heritage and the styles of half - a - century ago . the brand also turns to american actress , and piaget brand ambassador , jessica chastain to help launch the new piaget extremely lady collection . american actress and producer , jessica chastain , is also a piaget brand ambassador . while this luxury swiss watch brand has roots dating back to 1874 , the brand enjoyed an . . .
piaget’s methods ( observation and clinical interviews ) are more open to biased interpretation than other methods . piaget made careful , detailed naturalistic observations of children , and from these he wrote diary descriptions charting their development . he also used clinical interviews and observations of older children who were able to understand questions and hold conversations .
since 1988 , piaget has been part of the richemont s . a . group , which also owns brands like cartier , montblanc , van cleef & arpels , and jaeger - lecoultre . with gemologist yves g . piaget as its president , a descendant of the company founder keeps a close eye on the brand .
jean piaget ( 1952 ; see also wadsworth , 2004 ) viewed intellectual growth as a process of adaptation ( adjustment ) to the world . this happens through :
– this is the force which moves development along . piaget believed that cognitive development did not progress at a steady rate , but rather in leaps and bounds .

when piaget talked about the development of a person ' s mental processes , he was referring to increases in the number and complexity of the schemata that a person had learned .
for example , a child might have object permanence ( competence ) but still not be able to search for objects ( performance ) . when piaget hid objects from babies he found that it wasn’t till after nine months that they looked for it . however , piaget relied on manual search methods – whether the child was looking for the object or not .

according to piaget ( 1958 ) , assimilation and accommodation require an active learner , not a passive one , because problem - solving skills cannot be taught , they must be discovered .
piaget has released more ultra - thin watches in 2013 . one model is the piaget altiplano date 40mm ultra - thin watch . this beautiful dress watches is a new form as the altiplano 43mm automatic watch . the altiplano 43mm automatic offered a really nice men’s watch with no jewellery which was also convenient and well - sized . it’s the watch out [ … ]
he was an inspiration to many who came after and took up his ideas . piaget ' s ideas have generated a huge amount of research which has increased our understanding of cognitive development .
the educational interest of piaget´s work lies firstly in this procedure he used to make educationists aware of the child’s thought processes and the conditions under which intellectual structures are established at different ages .

schemas are the basic building blocks of such cognitive models , and enable us to form a mental representation of the world . piaget ( 1952 , p . 7 ) defined a schema as :
the case back sports the côtes de genève , bevelled bridges , blued screws and a gold oscillating weight engraved with the piaget coat of arms . the movement has 25 jewels and 180 components .
in 1874 , a swiss timepiece maker named georges edouard piaget established a workshop in a tiny village in the jura mountains of switzerland called la cote aux fees . it initially focused on the creatio
the schemas piaget described tend to be simpler than this - especially those used by infants . he described how - as a child gets older - his or her schemas become more numerous and elaborate .
piaget did not claim that a particular stage was reached at a certain age - although descriptions of the stages often include an indication of the age at which the average child would reach each stage .
the aim for education , according to piaget , is to make individuals who are critical , creative and inventive discoverers . so the major part of the child’s learning relies on active experimentation and discovery .
known for its innovation in haute horlogerie – as well as its craftsmanship in high jewellery – piaget is once again a major player at this year’s salon international de la haute horlogerie ( sihh ) .
even when the prices for a piaget watch are attractive , they remain very ambitious . don’t forget that for the same amount of money you will be able to buy other very attractive sport watches .

the solid caseback is engraved with the piaget crest and information about the edition , 9p movement , serial numbers and hallmarks of the swiss assay office . not having a sapphire caseback also afffords the slimmest watch dimensions . the 6 caseback screws ensure a nominal 3atm water resistance but nobody expects to go diving with this watch ! the simple crown is adorned with the charactieristic ' p ' for piaget .
this is the movement that

seekers purport to have powered a few mythical original piaget polo watches in 1969 . conventional history states that the first polo watches were quartz - powered .
the tagline being used by piaget to describe its new altiplano ultimate 910p is “the irresistible elegance of infinite slenderness . ” it is a statement that is both poetic and accurate as when it comes to producing thin watches , the luxury brand keeps setting records and doing it with style and elegance . somehow , someway this has to end ( at least with current technology ) and if it does end here then piaget may have accomplished something akin to baseball great , joe dimaggio’s 56 - game hitting streak—setting a mark that may never be broken . the piaget altiplano ultimate 910p automatic watch in . . .
from september 12 until october 11 , watchmaker piaget will put its award - winning altiplano watches under the spotlight at printemps haussman , thereby revisiting its roots and taking a moment to look to the future .
piaget’s altiplano ultimate concept , introduced this week , sets new record for thinness at 2 . 0 mm . just this week , piaget formally introduced the altiplano ultimate concept , powered by the 900p - uc . the result of four years of research at the hands of piaget’s research and innovation division , it is touted as the world’s thinnest hand - wound mechanical watch . you may remember that the altiplano ultimate automatic 910p made its much - awaited debut last month , further celebrating the emblematic altiplano , which marked 60 years in 2017 . that watch—at just 4 . 30mm thick—is an integral part of the u . . .
according to piaget , the first three stages of development are general , but not all adults come to the formal operational stage . the development of formal operational thought relies in part on the process of schooling .
the complainant says the domain name is confusingly similar to its piaget trademarks and that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name , which was registered and is being used in bad faith .
the first of its ultra - thin movements – and the first in the altiplano collection – was revealed at baselworld in 1957 with a 2 mm - thick 9p manual - winding movement designed by valentin piaget .

piaget was founded in 1874 and became part of the richemont family in 1988 . it has been a pioneer in the luxury watch and jewelry segment for over 135 years . the complainant registered the trademark piaget in the united states on september 25 , 1973 for jewelry , no . 968 , 969 and on june 9 , 1959 for watches , no . 679 , 984 . both registrations have been renewed and are subsisting .
the much anticipated “jackie” movie , starring actress natalie portman as the famed first lady and directed by pablo larrain has more to offer than most . the portrayal of one of the most iconic women of the 20th century i said to be one of the most accurate renditions to date . also playing a starring role in the movie is swiss watch brand , piaget , which has made replica of a watch “jackie ” wore in real life . natalie portman plays “jackie” in the upcoming movie — wearing a piaget watch in certain scenes . the watch is part of the brand’s extremely piaget collection and is an oval - shaped dial . . .
alex , what an interesting change of piaget . the polo s reminds me on a first look a bit of the pp nautilus . i find the new models very nice in design and attractive in price point .
the piaget limelight secret watch is housed in an 18ct pink gold case set with 449 diamonds . inspired by the architecture of samarkand , its mother - of - pearl and engraved gold star marquetry reflect palace splendour .
piaget has not disappointed in the past and i see no reason why the future should be anything but spectacular . now , how can i finagle some wrist time with one ? my interests are purely academic , of course…
for the foregoing reasons , in accordance with paragraphs 4 ( i ) of the policy and 15 of the rules , the panel orders that the domain name < piaget - orders . com > be transferred to the complainant .
the 18ct pink gold emperador tourbillon xl miniature enamel watch depicts a falcon in intense colours . it is powered by the world’s thinnest mechanical - shaped tourbillon , manufacture piaget 602p , with its flying carriage visible at 12 o’clock .
marking the 40th anniversary of its first quartz movement , piaget presents the emperador coussin xl 700p . this unconventional timepiece , produced as a limited edition of 188 pieces , is driven by a mechanical calibre with a quartz regulator .
8 . retail presence  piaget has its retail presence in more than 80 countries with exclusive stores in either a hotel / multi retail luxury stores or as independent boutiques .  their supply & distribution system is divided into 5 major geographical regions :  europe  north america  south america & the caribbean  middle east & africa  asia oceania  the lifespan of a piaget creation is virtually limitless , provided that regular maintenance is carried out on it .
this fall , just as fashion show frenzies draw fashion lovers to the four style capitals of the world , piaget has instead opted to look to the second floor of printemps haussman , with a special exhibition that runs september 12 through october 10 . with the showcase , entirely dedicated to the manufacturer ' s altiplano watches , piaget will trace its watch - making history dating from the day in 1975 when the house craftsmen successfully developed the caliber 9p movement , the flattest manual winder of its kind . this was soon followed by the release of the iconic 12p , a token of technical prowess sought after by many . with its simple design which conceals the ultraflat mechanism , the altiplano appeals to socialites and businessmen alike . not to be missed is the last piece in the exhibition , the piaget antiplano date , which beautifully embodies the piaget obsession with technical detail and fine workmanship which is just as valuable now as in 1975 .
piaget believed that newborn babies have a small number of innate schemas - even before they have had many opportunities to experience the world . these neonatal schemas are the cognitive structures underlying innate reflexes . these reflexes are genetically programmed into us .
the beginnings of the company back in 1874 – were humble . it was founded on the piaget family farm in the village of la côte - aux - fées ( french for “fairy hill” ) up in the swiss mountains . the dreamy , snowy winters spent among the hills and spruce forests were probably very conducive to developing innovative ideas . at the age of only 19 , georges edouard piaget created pocket watches , which were works of extreme precision . his son timothée , one of 14 children , focused on wristwatches . the grandchildren of the founder , gérald and valentin , registered piaget as a trademark in 1943 , and pressed ahead with the creation and marketing of new models . the rest , as they say , is history .
. piaget is a brand tld delegated in icann ' s new gtld program . the registry and manager is richemont dns inc . [ 1 ] the proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the root zone on 16 march , 2015 . [ 2 ]
piaget have recently opened their largest flagship in the world , in paris : rue de la paix 7 , 75002 paris tel . + 33 ( 0 ) 1 58 62 37 00 opening hours : monday - saturday 10 : 30am - 7 : 00pm
“this is a very reliable system , ” confirms eric klein , director of movement strategy at piaget . “it is unaffected by magnetic fields and highly shock - resistant . furthermore , it has a chronometric performance of one second a day . ” developed to mark the 40th anniversary of piaget’s first quartz movement – the extra - thin 7p introduced in 1976 – this emperador coussin xl 700p is proposed as a limited edition of 188 pieces and took two years to research and develop , with ten patents pending .
to piaget , cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes as a result of biological maturation and environmental experience . children construct an understanding of the world around them , then experience discrepancies between what they already know and what they discover in their environment .
many ideas and assumptions of cognitivism can be traced back to the early decades of the twentieth century . of all theories , the theories of jean piaget of switzerland are the ones that have provided psychology with very elaborated account of developmental changes in cognitive abilities .
piaget finally made a clear effort to attract a new and younger clientele . in terms of quality it is simply a perfect watch . but we are facing a moment of great uncertainty on the national and international scenario as a consequence of many well known causes . so the moment to launch the polo s ( it was the 14th july 2016 in new york ) was not the best one . imho such a “young” piaget watch should have been on the market for years now and already today be an icon .
like jaeger - lecoultre and vacheron constantin , piaget is renowned for its ultra - thin watches and has – at one time or another – manufactured the world’s thinnest mechanical watch , thinnest chronograph , thinnest hand - wound movement and thinnest self - winding mechanical movement .
“we are launching the limelight stella watch , the first automatic complication watch dedicated to women and entirely designed and developed in the manufactures of la côte - aux - fées and geneva . this writes a new chapter in piaget’s enduring love story with women . “we will also unveil ‘secrets & lights : a mythical journey by piaget’ – a collection of 38 watches . this collection celebrates the union of haute horlogerie and the artistic craft , and shows both the level of creativity and skills of [ our ] designers and artisans . ”

piaget ( 1936 ) was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development . his contributions include a stage theory of child cognitive development , detailed observational studies of cognition in children , and a series of simple but ingenious tests to reveal different cognitive abilities .
the concept of schema is incompatible with the theories of bruner ( 1966 ) and vygotsky ( 1978 ) . behaviorism would also refute piaget’s schema theory because is cannot be directly observed as it is an internal process . therefore , they would claim it cannot be objectively measured .
when i in july saw the piaget polo s in real the impression of a deja vu was even stronger than on the picture here . the new polo s has borrowed design elements of the patek philippe aquanaut and the patek philippe nautilus . both very successful sport watches …
for 140 years the name piaget has been synonymous with top quality watchmaking . in that time , the swiss manufacturer has also excelled in jewelry design . it does , however , remain committed to its heritage of world - famous watches : ultra - thin and always inspired !
15 . insider view…  the altiplano project - launched in june 2011 in partnership with the hug ( geneva university hospitals ) and the raft telemedicine network . four new health centres – potosi , colcha - k , and llica uyuni – have been equipped with ultrasound and electrocardiogram equipment .  telemedicine project in the bolivia  piaget jeunes talents prizes - piaget and the geneva university of art and design ( head ) support students and graduates of bachelors and masters courses in jewellery , watch and accessories design with annual awards to promote innovation in their field .
piaget ' s ( 1936 ) theory of cognitive development explains how a child constructs a mental model of the world . he disagreed with the idea that intelligence was a fixed trait , and regarded cognitive development as a process which occurs due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment .
today , piaget is proud to be one of the last swiss watch making manufactures , benefiting from an extensive mastery of the jeweller’s art . with this savoir - faire , the brand can look to the future with audacity and creative flair , while remaining faithful to its traditional values .
one hundred and forty years’ worth of uninterrupted history have allowed piaget to forge its unique jewellery and watchmaking expertise . the brand is a genuine fine watchmaking manufacture that brings together the art of ultraflat technology and the finest jewel - setting , characterised by its undyingly elegant and refined aesthetics .
the idea was so successful that , after four further versions were created , it eventually led to becoming the basis for swatch watches , which launched in 1983 . the brand - new sistem51 also similarly goes down this road , though piaget takes the crown as the king of mechanical thinness .
) . in other words , the core competencies of many advanced cognitive abilities are present from early infancy , but nevertheless undergo substantial developmental change . one critical component of piaget ' s view that underlies virtually all modern research on cognitive development is the idea that cognitive development is an active process .
for example , babies have a sucking reflex , which is triggered by something touching the baby ' s lips . a baby will suck a nipple , a comforter ( dummy ) , or a person ' s finger . piaget , therefore , assumed that the baby has a ' sucking schema . '
( 2years - 7years ) . this is the stage when the child acquires a mastery of a language and becomes able to use words to represent objects and images in a symbolic fashion . piaget terms this stage pre - operational because children are not yet able to use their developing mental capabilities systematically .
although piaget has replaced the regular production of extra flat 9p manual wind movements with the 430p family , they have no current extra - flat automatic movements in the same class as the old and much missed 12p . . . . . . . not yet , anyway . . . . . .
vacheron constantin is one of four richemont brands to open in toronto this year . vacheron constantin , iwc and panerai are the latest in a bevy of luxury watch brands to open boutiques at toronto’s yorkdale shopping centre . the mall has become canada’s hottest destination for luxury brands , including rolex ( raffi jewellers ) , montblanc , cartier , omega , piaget , van cleef & arpels and now vacheron constantin , iwc and panerai . four richemont - owned brands – iwc , panerai , vacheron constantin and piaget – have opened separate boutiques in a single space formerly occupied by williams sonoma , which . . .
because of his creative prowess , piaget was not only able to afford designing such extravagances , but was also able to turn them into sparkling reality . for example , with the world’s first hands made of onyx or coral ; glass mosaics consisting of 5 , 000 pieces ; enamel micro - paintings on watch faces ; and tiny pictures applied in layers and bonded together at temperatures above 800°c – a process that is repeated about 20 times for each layer . for prince albert of monaco , piaget even created a diamond pattern in the shape of his fingerprint . “we took his print at a special gala dinner , with the aid of some ink and a notepad . the ink was so difficult to remove that the prince was forced to spend the remainder of the evening with a blue index finger , ” remembers piaget’s sixty - year - old ceo , laughing . the watch was subsequently auctioned off for charity .
there are quite a few challenges that must be taken into consideration when designing ultra - thin movements , and piaget has done a tremendous job of mastering these in the past . with the 900p , the company has gone as far as eliminating some of those challenges by sidestepping problems in the first place .
vygotsky , a contemporary of piaget , argued that social interaction is crucial for cognitive development . according to vygotsky the child ' s learning always occurs in a social context in co - operation with someone more skillful ( mko ) . this social interaction provides language opportunities and language is the foundation of thought .

seoul , south korea – july 15 , 2015— hanwha q cells co . ltd . (
hanwha q cells
) ( nasdaq : hqcl ) today announced a new solar module supply agreement with sunrun , the largest dedicated residential solar company in the u . s . through the partnership , a subsidiary of hanwha q cells will provide sunrun with 50 mw of solar modules beginning this year . the cells and modules will be manufactured from hanwha q cells’ fully automated and efficient diversified global manufacturing facilities , including production in south korea starting in 2016 .
hanwha q cells produces panels in malaysia , china , and korea . they used to have a production line in germany , but they shipped the plant equipment to malaysia in 2012 , so hanwha q cells does not produce any german made panels .
q cells’ modules are highly competitive in the residential and commercial pv sectors , which have only begun to gurgle in china .
the board of directors at hanwha q cells is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance . the board of hanwha q cells has developed corporate governance the practise to fulfill its responsibility to hanwha q cells stockholders . as part of these practices , the board has adopted the following corporate governance charters to help ensure that it has the necessary authority and procedures in place to oversee the work of management and to exercise independence in evaluating hanwha q cells ' business operations . these charters allow the board to align the interests of directors and management with those of hanwha q cells corporation ' s stockholders , whilst they are subject to future refinement or changes as the board may find necessary or advisable for hanwha q cells in order to achieve the above objectives .
hanwha q cells has been awarded the pv magazine award 2017 for its innovative steel frame solar module q . peak rsf l - g4 . 2 , a monocrystalline q . antum module with easy mounting system , reinforced steel frame and decentralised junction box .
hanwha q cells has reached positive operating results in the first quarter of 2014 and is now the largest european pv provider , the company reports . after struggling to remain profitable in 2012 , german - company q cells was sold to south korean conglomerate hanwha .
q cells is one of the most popular and well - known brands of modules in the photovoltaic industry in europe and australia .

add to that the 800mw of module capacity that q cells is building in malaysia , and the combined company will have all the benefits of solarone’s low - cost chinese production alongside q cells’ ability to sell modules to the us and europe without fear of trade barriers .
i applied online . the process took a week . i interviewed at q - cells ( cyberjaya ( malaysia ) ) in may 2012 .
the combined company will have a strategically diversified manufacturing footprint that provides significant competitive advantage . q cells brings award - winning technology and manufacturing from
executive headquarters will be located in seoul , korea , and its technology and innovation headquarters in thalheim , germany , home to q cells .
yet by swallowing q cells , solarone will have an unassailable claim to being the world’s largest maker of pv cells – catapulting past companies like yingli , trina and ja – and one of the largest module suppliers .
hanwha q cells describes their q cells panels as “engineered in germany” . while they no longer manufacture panels in that country , their headquarters for research and development are in germany and i have been told they have over 200 experts there working to improve the design and production of solar panels .
an above average product warranty with a competitive price makes hanwha q cells a good choice and i have no problem at all in recommending them .
in february 2015 hanwha q cells co . , ltd . ( nasdaq : hqcl ) emerged as a new global solar power leader from combining two of the world´s most recognized photovoltaic manufacturers , hanwha solarone and hanwha q cells . the combined company is listed on nasdaq under the . . .

hanwha q cells also have 3 other research and development centers around the world . if you are wondering where those centers are located , i will quote the chairman and ceo of hanwha q cells , seong woo nam . on the promotion of their new chief technology officer ( cto ) in july 2016 , he said :
the overdue merger of china’s solarone and germany - and malaysia - based q cells solves problems for both companies , though it by no means guarantees their future .
hanwha q cells applies good corporate governance principles to multiple areas of the company . in addition to these guidelines , hanwha q cells has a code of business conduct and ethics and the board has also adopted charters for each of the following standing board committees : audit committee , compensation committee , and nomination and governance committee .
the q cells q . pro bfr - g4 . 1 sc 265 265w pv module boasts it ' s top performances , the new q . peak blk - g4 is the aesthetic model photovoltaic module . the fourth module generation from q cells has been optimized across the board : improved output yield , higher operating reliability and durability , quicker installation and more intelligent design . the new q . pro bfr - g4 . 1 is the result of the continued evolution of our q . pro family . thanks to improved power yield , excellent reliability , and high - level operational safety , the new q . pro bfr - g4 generates electricity at a low cost ( lcoe ) and is suitable for a wide range of applications .
they are the same company with different divisions . hanwha purchased q cell in 2013 and is managing it as a stand alone business unit . q cells will be strong in the north american market and hanwha will pull back efforts on the us market .
the datasheets for q cells panels gives their highest efficiency as 16 . 8 % , but do not clearly show their corrosion resistance certification . but , matt scadden , the sales manager of hanwha q cells australia , assures me they are fully certified for corrosion resistance and , like the hanwha solar panels , are suitable for installation anywhere in australia .
as a photovoltaic manufacturer , q cells engineers its award winning and certified solar modules in germany . we guarantee maximum output even in ambient light conditions . rely on the test winner
the merger of hanwha solarone and hanwha q cells is set to proceed in a deal estimated to cost hanwha solarone around us $ 1 . 2 billion in an all - stock transaction .
q cells solar products are way ahead of the competition when it comes to quality , as testified by a wide variety of awards , certificates and world records for efficiency . we set the standards
q - cells have told me that 2016 sales are on track to sell their entire annual capacity of 5 . 4 gigawatts , which if true will advance them from 5th place in 2016 .
“we feel honored that our customers consistently put their trust in hanwha q cells . ” says maengyoon kim , head of module sales in europe at hanwha q cells . “winning the seals for the fourth year in a row in europe and for the second time in australia spurs us to continue our work with the utmost commitment to offer our customers best quality and service , ” he emphasized .

the company has gained further market share in its european home markets and in its single largest market , japan . in europe the united kingdom is an especially important market for the company followed by france and germany . at the same time hanwha q cells japan has reached the position as the leading foreign pv provider in japan , the company reports . moreover , hanwha q cells has been expanding its power plant solutions business . on the basis of the company´s track record of around 700mw of installed capacity in large scale power plants hanwha q cells has realized projects in the europe , the americas and asia .
q - cells are performing above my expectations , just make sure you clean your panels if it hasn ' t rained heavily for a several weeks . bought from : solargain review date : 26 august 2016
so expect solarone , whose efforts to diversify into project development have not yet paid off in any meaningful way , to attempt to ride q cells’ experience and reputation into attractive project markets around the world .
it is worth remembering , too , that long before its financial difficulties , q cells had made a name for itself as a premier project developer and epc contractor – with a significant footprint in the us .

the german solar industry is at a turning point . the bankruptcy of q - cells this week shows that the days of german solar cell production are numbered . asian competitors took the lead years ago , and german government subsidies were part of the problem .
during the company´s first full year , 2013 , hanwha q cells has strengthened teams at its headquarters in germany as well as at its mass production site in malaysia and increased its international sales force in order to satisfy the growing global demand . in 2014 the pv specialist has opened new offices in france as well as in the emerging markets turkey and chile . thus hanwha q cells has increased its global headcount from 1 . 225 employees at the launch of the company in october 2012 to approximately 1 . 350 employees at present .
charles kim , chief executive of q cells , said :
q cells ' commitment to quality , technology , and innovation has enabled us to become one of the most respected solar companies with a world - renowned product reputation and downstream expertise . the merger with solarone creates a truly global platform that will provide us with a platform to achieve greater economies of scale and facilitate expansion into important solar markets including china . together with solarone , we look forward to delivering superior solar solutions to our customers and growing our global leadership position .
q cells ' 1 . 5gw of cell capacity , located primarily in malaysia , is top - shelf quality , and comes with an
engineered in germany
brand that is known and respected in many established pv markets where solarone ' s own kit is seen as a commodity product .
the deal struck will see hanwha solarone acquire 100 % of the outstanding share capital of q cells from its sole shareholder , hanwha solar holdings ( hsh ) , in an all - stock transaction with an implied enterprise value of the combined entities of approximately us $ 2 . 0 billion .
solarone noted that its solar cell and pv module production capacity was 1 . 75gw and 2 . 07gw , respectively , while q cells ' solar cell and pv module manufacturing capacity are 1 . 53gw and 130mw respectively , with plans to expand capacity further in 2015 of 800mw of modules .

we ' re very excited to have dr . daniel jeong as our new cto , who has demonstrated an outstanding leadership in integrating our global r & d teams located in germany , malaysia , korea and china following the merger between former hanwha q cells and hanwha solarone in early 2015 . ”
seongwoo nam – who is currently chief executive of solarone , and will be chairman and ceo of the newly merged company – is justified in saying that the combined company will be a “formidable global leader” . on their own , neither q cells nor solarone have rightly been able to make that claim .
now the german - headquartered pv solutions specialist achieved growing revenues and positive earnings before interests and tax ( ebit ) in the first three months of 2014 . moreover hanwha q cells has taken the lead among european pv companies with total shipments of 247mw and a module production volume of 244mw in q1 2014 .
it wasn ' t so long ago that people viewed q - cells as an energy company of the future . at one point , it was the world ' s largest manufacturer of solar cells and quarter after quarter , it topped analysts ' expectations . the company proved to be a money - making machine even during the financial crisis , with some believing it might one day grow to become part of germany ' s dax index of benchmark companies on the stock exchange .
expansion into downstream : the combined company will expand into downstream initially leveraging 2 . 17 gigawatt global downstream pipeline ( including 1 . 12 gigawatt pipeline under partnership with hanwha - affiliated companies ) , of which 30 % is in late stage and q cells ' more than 700 megawatt of project installation expertise since 2007 .
q . flat - g4 is more than just a substructure for flat roofs : it forms the basis for an entire system solution from a single source .
hanwha q cells is a major manufacturer of solar panels . in 2015 they produced 3 . 2 gigawatts , making them the 5th largest manufacturer of tier one solar panels in that year ( just so long as you think gcl systems were slumming it in 2015 and were not yet worthy to be called tier 1 ) .
margins are falling across the solar industry as the rapid reduction in panel prices is hitting manufacturers ' income statements . previously reported earnings from competitors canadian solar , jinkosolar , and ja solar have all showed a consistent decline in results and even losses on the bottom line . but hanwha q cells ' results were particularly bad .
from q cells ' perspective , perhaps the most obvious advantage to the merger is the chance to begin pushing its brand in china , the world’s largest solar market . solarone derived 30 % of its module revenues from china last quarter , and has aspirations to be a major player in the distributed - generation market there .

mr . justin lee , president of hanwha q cells america said ,
our modules possess the quality and high - efficiency characteristics that sunrun requires for its customers ,
mr . lee also added ,
this contract , combined with other previously announced supply agreements , has further strengthened our position as one of the leading suppliers of solar modules to the u . s . market .
this supply agreement follows hanwha q cells’ recent successful combination with hanwha solarone co . , ltd . to form a global leader in solar power and further validates the financial stability , advanced technology , and manufacturing leadership of the new company
, mr . lee concluded .
according to the statement , the combined company is planning to expand its downstream ambitions , an area solarone has been trailing rivals . combining q cells long - standing downstream expertise , solarone said it would have a pv project pipeline of 2 . 17gw , which included 30 % of hanwha - affiliated companies projects that were said be ‘late stage’ developments .
eupd research emphasized that participating installers rated the products from hanwha q cells positively as compared to the competition . furthermore , the scores for brand recommendation and unaided brand awareness were among the highest in the industry . only a small number of manufacturers were honored with the top brand pv seal , but rarely have companies qualified for a majority of the surveyed markets .
q - cells is the best example . the company first began outsourcing large shares of its production to malaysia in the summer of 2011 . by then , it had been clear for years that germans could no longer compete with asian firms in the sector . the writing had long been on the wall and it didn ' t take a clairvoyant to see it .
meanwhile , asian companies continue to steam ahead of their german competitors . in 2008 , china manufactured 33 percent of the world ' s solar cells , but that figure grew to 57 percent last year . this week , the german government significantly reduced its subsidies for promoting solar energy . but the boom in cheap cells will continue and it will radically change the solar energy market .
according to the terms of the transaction , solarone will issue approximately 3 . 7 billion solarone ordinary shares ( being the equivalent of approximately 740 . 2 million american depositary shares ) to hsh in exchange for the transfer of 100 % of the outstanding share capital of q cells by hsh to solarone . the new shares to be issued by solarone to hsh in the transaction represent approximately 8 . 09 newly issued shares for each of solarone ' s currently outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis . if consummated , the transaction would result in hsh increasing its ownership of solarone from approximately 45 . 7 % to approximately 94 % , in consideration of hsh ' s transfer of full ownership of q cells to solarone . based on solarone ' s
on the bright side , a single contract announced today could account for nearly a quarter ' s worth of demand . if hanwha q cells can cut costs enough , it may be able to bring back profits , but there ' s no guarantee - - even after winning a contract that will account for a large percentage of the next year and a half ' s supply .
these are good quality cells with decent efficiency . decent output even at low solar angles , which is helpful for those of use living in tasmania . bought from : green sky australia review date : 11 march 2018

at the end of 2007 , the company was valued at close to 8 billion ( $ 10 . 7 billion at today ' s rates ) . q - cells ' production facilities were located in the city of bitterfeld - wolfen , in a former lignite mining area in the eastern german state of saxony - anhalt . the area was even dubbed
solar valley ,
a play on california ' s silicon valley .
but q - cells ' insolvency also comes as a great shock to the germany ' s solar industry . it is already the fourth major bankruptcy in a sector in crisis , and it underscores the degree to which german solar firms are being outpaced by competition from asia - - despite billions in german government subsidies granted each year to the industry . and despite solar energy gradually becoming more competitive , the setbacks are rapidly mounting .
hanwha group started in south korea as hanwha explosives inc . in 1952 and rapidly exploded into a massive international conglomeration . they acquired the german company q cells and its solar panel manufacturing capacity in germany and malaysia when it became insolvent in 2012 . they also acquired solarfun , which was a chinese panel manufacturer . not wanting to be mistaken for a bunch of clowns , they changed the name of solarfun to hanwha solar one .

the change can also be seen in the case of solar millennium , a company that didn ' t even produce solar cells . rather , it built solar thermal power plants that transformed solar energy into thermal energy . unfortunately , it ' s a technology that has recently been put on the back burner because of the availability of inexpensive photovoltaic cells . solar millennium suffered a number of setbacks when projects planned in the united states failed to materialize .
there ' s really no bright sign right now for commodity solar suppliers like hanwha q cells . the industry is oversupplied , demand is falling in the short term , and margins are dropping , leading to financial losses . that ' s not a good position for any company to be in , particularly when new technology like mono - perc and other high - efficiency options are becoming more highly valued than the panels manufacturers have typically made .
their panels are tier 1 and have a 12 year product warranty which is 20 % longer than the 10 year product warranty most panels carry . hanwha q cells has an australian office in sydney , their panels are salt mist corrosion resistant and so are suitable for installation anywhere , and at the time of writing in october 2016 they appear to have the lowest price per watt of any panel that carries a 12 year or better product warranty .
its corporate headquarters will moved from the outskirts of shanghai to seoul ( where the company will open a new 230mw module plant in mid - 2015 ) . its “technology and innovation” headquarters will be kept in thalheim , germany – the historic home of q cells , and where it still employs more than 200 researchers and engineers . its shares will trade on new york ' s nasdaq exchange . and it will still employ many thousands of factory workers in china .
for a some time now , though , the days have been growing darker in solar valley , and with this week ' s bankruptcy announcement by q - cells , things are looking to get even darker . on tuesday , the company as expected submitted its official request to begin bankruptcy proceedings . the energy company of the future looks as though it may no longer have one . the company , it turns out , simply wasn ' t prepared for the fast changes that have buffeted the industry .
hanwha claimed the combined entity would become the world ' s largest manufacturer of solar cells with a capacity of 3 . 28gw . according to npd solarbuzz data before the ihs acquisition , yingli green had become the largest solar cell producer in 2013 for the first time with production in excess of 2gw .
solarone ' s board of directors , acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the special committee ( the
special committee
) formed by its board of directors , approved the share purchase agreement for the transaction and resolved to recommend that solarone ' s shareholders vote to approve the transaction . the special committee , which is comprised solely of independent directors of solarone who are unaffiliated with q cells , hanwha solar holdings co . , ltd . (
hsh
) , hanwha chemical corporation or any of the management members of solarone , negotiated the terms of the purchase agreement with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors .
in technological terms , solar cells are relatively easy to copy and manufacture , and germany , with its comparably expensive labor market , is no longer the place to produce them . much of the manufacturing of solar cells in germany is already automated , but it is still considerably cheaper to operate a factory in a country like china , where costs are lower for everything from factory construction to paying the cleaning crew . in addition , beijing has made the solar sector a priority and the government is providing many manufacturers with loans at highly favorable interest rates . even worse , the german government has also directly and indirectly subsidized chinese solar companies to the tune of 100 million as part of development aid efforts aimed at promoting china ' s green industries .
with its top performance and completely black design the new q . peak blk - g4 . 1 is the ideal solution for all residential rooftop applications thanks to its innovative cell technology q . antum . the world - record cell design was developed to achieve the best performance under real conditions – even with low radiation intensity and on clear , hot summer days . low electricity generation costs higher yield per surface area and lower bos costs thanks to higher power classes and an efficiency rate of up to 18 . 0 % . innovative all - weather technology optimal yields , whatever the weather with excellent low - light and temperature behavior . enduring high performance long - term yield security with anti - pid technology1 , hot - spot - protect and traceable quality tra . q™ . extreme weather rating high - tech aluminum alloy frame , certified for high snow ( 5400pa ) and wind loads ( 4000pa ) regarding iec . maximum cost reductions up to 10 % lower logistics costs due to higher module capacity per box . a reliable investment inclusive 12 - year product warranty and 25 - year linear performance guarantee2 .
in the medium term , fierce competition with asian companies will also likely affect other parts of the solar energy industry in germany . for example , it could hit companies like centrotherm , which manufactures machines that are used in the automated production of solar cells . development of that equipment is certainly more complex , but asian manufacturers are already presenting an increasing number of products at industry trade shows like intersolar .
the cut - throat nature of the competition , of course , is nothing new . but in recent years it has been hidden by the german boom in demand from 2009 to 2011 , the result of generous efforts from berlin to promote solar power . even companies that had fallen behind the asian competition were having no trouble moving large quantities of solar cells . the situation is reminiscent of coyote running off a cliff while chasing roadrunner , running in mid - air for a few seconds and then plummeting into the abyss .
saferay was founded in 2010 by an experienced team which had previously built q - cells international from scratch into the largest system integrator of solar plants in the world within 2 years . the team ' s mission is to create a new kind of independent power producer that solely focuses on solar pv . the team has completed more than 700 mw of utility - scale solar plants on five continents : europe : italy , france , czech republic , germany , uk , spain americas : canada , usa , mexico , chile asia / pacific : japan , australia saferay developed rapidly during the first two years of existence , building 45 mw during the first six month of its existence , and adding another 125 mw in the first full year of operation . the company keeps most of the powerplants on its own balance sheet . saferay is fully privately owned and has no third party investors , which allows for fast decision making and clear focus . the company is currently active in germany , chile , mexico , the us , japan , singapore and australia .
