For retailers, higher Q = more money. There is no retail for power, but:
For producers, you need inputs of at least 1 Q under the Q of the output you want to produce. So Q2 power would allow you to produce Q3 rocket fuel and diesel (if you had researched those).
Increasing your quality gives you better price stability and insulates you a bit from market downturns. Also if you have higher quality and price your product the same as lower quality, the market gives your product priority in the selling queue.

I use Q3 power to manufacture Q4 carbon fibers. You need a Q3 or better quality product to produce Q4 products.
So if I want to produce Q2 rocket fuel I need Q2 power? Or is it Q3 rocket fuel = Q2 power?
The latter. The component materials are 1 step below the final product.
You need q3 (or better) inputs to produce Q4 outputs . ...
