Why Quantum Dot Solar So why quantum dot solar?
I notice the barrage of press releases from numerous solar cell manufacturers touting the funding for a new solar project (sometimes referred to as a solar farm or solar project) to produce 20, 50, or even more Megawatts (MW) of electricity, and government announcements across the globe of legislature to mandate 20% clean electricity for energy consumption by 2020. But, there hardly seems to be means to the end. The worlds governments have not detailed how many thousands of gigawatts (not mere megawatts) of energy production per year over the next 20 years will be required to achieve these lofty, yet imperative goals. We have devoted time to solve this equation, and although there are variables which are open for debate, I believe my calculations are in the ball park?to achieve 20% by 2020 world renewable energy production, it is estimated that we will need to generate well over an additional 4,000 Terawatt-hours of electricity per year. Existing, non-solar renewable energy sources con
