Quartz Hill Solar Project

Project Overview

US POWER completed a high-performance rooftop solar system on a shingle-roof home in Quartz Hill, CA. The system was designed for minimal disruption to the existing roof structure and maximised solar energy generation using top-tier equipment from our partnership with Qcells.

System Specifications & Key Components

• Solar Panels: Qcells residential modules with Q.ANTUM / Q.ANTUM NEO cell technology — delivering high efficiency (up to ~22.5 %) and robust performance in real-world conditions.
• ‍Warranty: Panels include a 25-year product warranty and a 25-year linear performance warranty (minimum ~90.6 % of rated power at year 25) when using Qcells’ top-spec models.
• Mounting: Flush-mount racking system, engineered for wind and snow loads appropriate for Southern California residential use
• Electrical Integration: Custom electrical modifications performed to optimize system performance, including string design, inverter selection, and balance-of-system (BOS) layout to minimise shading losses and mismatch.
• Roof Condition: Existing shingle roof was maintained; no major roof replacement required, preserving homeowner investment and reducing project timeframe.

Project Highlights

• High-efficiency equipment: By leveraging Qcells’ advanced cell technology (e.g., N-type modules) the system delivers greater output per square foot of roof space, making it an ideal solution for suburban homes with limited roof area.
• Minimal disruption: The installation was completed without requiring major roof demolition or structural changes—homeowner convenience and cost-efficiency were prioritised.
