QD Solar Inc. is commercializing cutting-edge photovoltaic (PV) research out of the University of Toronto. QD Solar’s IP-protected product is a drop-in compatible, low-cost, lightweight, and flexible high-power density tandem solar sheet. The team combines two advanced light-absorbing materials – colloidal quantum dots and perovskites – to take solar beyond efficiencies achievable using standard silicon technology. Currently, our product gains power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 24%, on a road map to 40% PCE which no other solar technology can offer. Standardized stability testing and IEC certification are well underway.
