From the company website..SOLAR ENERGY- no carbon emissions, unlimited supply and available to all. This renewable source is one of the answers to energy independence, but has been previously expensive to implement. Now, with advanced automated tetrapod quantum dot manufacturing, both cost and efficiency concerns are addressed. Although smaller than living cells, quantum.dots can absorb all wavelengths of visible sunlight plus the UV and Infrared. Using proprietary technologies, Solterra will manufacture very low cost solar cells utilizing Quantum Dot Technology for less than the cost of conventional solar cells. By combining Quantum Materials disruptive technologies of novel synthesis, thick shell coating and automated production, quantum dot supply problems are solved. Solterra will also use R2R production methods invented by QMC Chief Science Officer, Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, that can be scaled by increasing R2R speeds.

Our third generation quantum dot solar cells do not require custom made, expensive ,nor complex, processing equipment, and we do not use costly silicon or rare earth elements such as indium. Solterra instead will rely on low-cost screen printing and/or inkjet techniques applied to inexpensive substrates. Quantum Dot Solar Cells have extremely high potential efficiency, having demonstrated the production of multiple excitons from a single electron.

Quantum Materials patented quantum dot synthesis, developed by Dr. Michael Wong of Rice University has been acquired by Quantum Materials for Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. By combining this proprietary, low cost QD manufacture process with automation QD manufacture, the quantities of tetrapod quantum dots needed to supply the daily use requirements of a solar cell plant production can be scaled into the Gigawatts/year range reducing the cost of solar generated electricity to little more than grid price at today's electricity prices. With grid prices expected to continue to increase, renewable solar energy using QMC Quantum Dot Technology will not only cost less but can also be good for the environment!

Quantum Materials' Solar cells will come to market competitively priced with the opportunity to reduce prices even further as economies of scale come into effect. Additionally we believe our quantum dot manufacturing capability and print based cell manufacturing process will enable the rapid deployment of additional manufacturing sites across the globe.
