QMC’s subsidiary Solterra Renewable Technologies has the parallel objective of revolutionizing the solar cell industry by being the first solar cell maufacturer to be able to offer a solar electricity solution that competes on a completely non-subsidized basis with the price of retail electricity in key markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Solterra’s primary focus will be to combine QMC’s CdSe Tetrapod Semiconductor Quantum Dots with our proprietary Roll to Roll quantum dot printing processes. Quantum Dot printed solar cells are very cost-effective (since material is only deposited in the required areas) and can be performed with fewer steps at lower temperatures suitable for flexible plastic substrates. Continuous R2R processes can produce 1 gigawatt of solar cells per year running at the relatively modest speed of 100 meters per minute for one 8 hour shift. Depending upon project requirements, an additional 2-3 work shifts plus scale-up to 600 meters/minute are well within possibilities. The economies of scale from a single production line operating at high output are perfectly suited to quickly supplying large solar farms. Clear LCOE advantages over CSP and silicon panel technologies can be readily ascertained.

This will increase the energy cost. What is the energy cost per kwh for the proposed project. Note that Odisha, India has finalised a solar project with an energy cost of Rs7/- per kwh. How could these two be compared?
