They are not QD solar cells. Apples and oranges. The glow of the QD's are guided to the solar cells.

Here we were told quantum dot solar panels were so far in the future.

As usual, I'm right and you're wrong. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it's simple lack of knowledge on your part and not an intentional misrepresentation of my previous statements.

My comments were strictly about the challenges of R2R QDSC which the article you cited is not. Not even remotely related.

Assam, Jeddah City, China going 24/7 cranking QDSC!!!!

Here we were told quantum dot solar panels were so far in the future.

US company Solterra has already begun to build a commercial plant in Jeddah City in Saudi Arabia, which will supply its Quantum Dot solar cells to the booming construction market there. It expects to begin mass production early in 2010. ‘Several solar module manufacturers are waiting to transfer our printed cells into large area devices,’ says ceo Steve Squires. ‘We expect to start shipping at the end of Q1.’

Drugmanrx, SEC is our savior from defaulted gray market scams like QMC.

Stevie is tinkering some in his shed, their just about ready he was waiting for the glue to dry.

As others have pointed out, not QD solar cells. Per NREL:

The quantum dot (QD) windows are unique in the way they generate energy. The QD-laminated glass absorbs sunlight, then the glow from the QDs is trapped in the glass by total internal reflection, similar to how a fiber optic cable guides light. The light is then guided to the edges where silicon solar cells are located. This approach is called a “luminescent solar concentrator.”
