Flowid has updated there site with reference to Solterra. In addition they have an update on the Hoogewerff Stimuleringsprijs’ (easy for them to say) award.

Eindhoven, The Netherlands, October 27th 2010 – During the NPS10 symposium in Veldhoven on the 26th of October, The Hoogewerff Foundation awarded Flowid B.V. with the honorable ‘Hoogewerff Stimuleringsprijs’ for their innovative approach and ground breaking work on the implementation of microreactor technology for production purposesJeoffrey van den Berg, Managing Director of Flowid, comments: “It is a great honor receiving this prize. Especially when realizing that prominent Dutch chemical engineers had an important role in addressing this prize to Flowid. We feel strengthened in our approach and are encouraged to keep innovating”. Wessel Hengeveld, Director Technology of Flowid, adds to this: “Winning this award is not only important for Flowid, it is also important for the technology. By awarding this price to Flowid, The Hoogerwerff Foundation acknowledges that microreactors are a high potential technology for the chemical industry, with Flowid as trustful partner for production implementation

Solterra Renewable Technologies Inc.
Solterra Renewable Technologies Inc. is the first company to introduce a new dimension of cost reduction by replacing silicon wafer based solar cells with low cost highly efficient Quantum Dot based solar cells. Solterra has asked Flowid and FutureChemistry to cooperate in a project for combining their knowledge and technology into a newly developed production plant. Flowid and FutureChemistry will develop a method for manufacturing quantum dots in continuous flow on a laboratory scale, subsequently design, develop and install an operational plant for manufacturing quantum dots in continuous flow on a production scale.

Steve Squires, Chief Executive Officer of Solterra, commented, “We are very pleased with this collaboration and are eagerly looking forward to fruitful efforts with both FutureChemistry and Flowid. Their leading edge work essentially allows the Company to overcome barriers to entry of high volume, high tech markets. The imminent ability to sell stand alone quantum dots in large quantities at attractive pricing into various markets, while continuing to develop breakthrough solar cell technology, undoubtedly will generate significant revenue for Solterra, Quantum Materials Corporation and its shareholders.” www.solterrasolarcells.com


We are very close now IMHO the award was based on the microreactor technology which is critical to our scale up of solar cells.
