The Effect of CdSe Quantum Dots on Calibrate Solar Cells

Traditional solar cells suffer from efficiency limitations due to their inability to fully utilize the solar spectrum. In fact, most traditional silicon solar cells have a limited efficiency of only 15–18%, with a lower absorption coefficient and untunable band gaps.

 

However, quantum dot solar cells make use of the "lost solar spectrum."

 

The following section includes my award-winning research at the IEEE conference and QuantaSol predictive API model to calculate the best locations for QD solar cells in regions sun-rich, solar-poor.

QuantaSol GeoSpatial Site Optimization Model

In many sun-rich, solar-poor regions between the tropics, abundant UV irradiance accelerates the degradation of traditional silicon solar cells, limiting their performance and lifespan. Despite high solar potential, these areas remain underserved by conventional technology.

Quantum dot solar cells provide a solution by converting harmful UV light into usable energy, extending durability and boosting efficiency where sunlight is most intense.

Through the QuantaSol predictive API model, we integrate factors such as irradiance, slope, aspect, and regional socioeconomic scores to pinpoint the best locations for QD solar farms—turning overlooked tropical sunlight into a reliable and profitable source of clean energy.
