Quantum Materials Announces Goals for Solar Energy Quantum Dot Integration

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 09, 2016 -- In a presentation today at the Smithers Apex’s 4^th Annual Quantum Dots Forum in Newport Beach, California, Dr. Nathan Stott, Quantum Materials Corp Director of Materials, outlined the Company's goals for increasing the efficiency and commercial viability of solar energy production through the integration of quantum dots into thin-film solar cells.

Dr. Stott’s presentation entitled ‘Quantum Dot Solar: Meeting Emerging Strong Market Demand’ lays out Quantum Materials Corp’s goal of reducing estimated solar energy generation costs by 50 percent through the integration of quantum dots manufactured with the Company’s continuous flow production and high speed roll-to-roll printing technology.  This combination has the potential to dramatically reduce manufacturing equipment capital expenditures required to manufacture solar cells by up to 75 percent versus current solar cell production technologies.

Growing global pressure to increase distributed renewable energy sources has created a dramatic increase in solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing. However, solar PV remains a small portion of overall energy generation due to historical cost constraints.

Quantum Materials believes that a breakthrough is imminent when pricing of QD solar cells make subsidies unnecessary. Then, low capex, minimized lead times to establish solar PV plants, and efficient manufacturing will enable much higher solar module production and installations.  As energy markets and social and political systems continue to exhibit volatility, Quantum Materials is ready to respond to the multiple global trends that makes solar a clear solution to a growing energy problem.
