New residential battery systems aim to strengthen domestic clean energy production and support home energy independence
Michigan, USA, 12 May 2026 – Qcells is expanding its presence in the American clean energy market through a new manufacturing collaboration with Jabil for residential battery storage systems. The partnership marks another major step toward strengthening domestic energy production and supporting the growing demand for home energy storage solutions in the United States.
Under the collaboration, Qcells’ new residential battery energy storage system, known as Q.HOME CORE G3, will be assembled at Jabil’s facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The system is designed to provide homeowners with backup power, energy management support, and improved energy reliability during outages or peak electricity demand periods.
The Q.HOME CORE G3 uses lithium iron phosphate battery technology and offers storage capacities ranging from 13.1 kWh to 26.2 kWh. The system is designed to work alongside Qcells solar panels, creating a complete residential solar plus storage solution for homeowners looking to reduce electricity costs and improve energy independence.
Industry experts say domestic manufacturing is becoming increasingly important as the clean energy sector continues expanding across North America. Producing battery systems inside the United States can help improve supply chain resilience, support local manufacturing jobs, and qualify projects for domestic content incentives tied to clean energy programs.
Qcells and its parent company Hanwha have already invested millions of dollars into solar and energy storage manufacturing operations in Michigan and Georgia. The company is focused on building an integrated American solar and storage supply chain that combines locally assembled solar panels, microinverters, and battery systems.
The partnership also reflects the growing demand for residential energy storage as more homeowners adopt rooftop solar systems and seek reliable backup power solutions. Home battery systems are becoming increasingly popular because they allow households to store excess solar energy for later use, improve grid stability, and provide protection during power interruptions.
As the global energy transition continues, companies are investing heavily in battery storage technologies to support renewable energy adoption and improve energy reliability. Qcells’ latest manufacturing initiative highlights how energy storage is becoming a central part of the future clean energy ecosystem in the United States.
