Q1 NanoSystems Corporation is pioneering advances in solar technology. Innovations in constructing nanostructured devices enables Q1 NanoSystems to create the ideal photovoltaic architecture, one that is both high-performance and low-cost. Key advances allow Q1 NanoSystems, an industry leader in ultra-thin films, to eliminate the clean room and cast silicon from the equation. These are the biggest cost drivers required by conventional solar cells. Advanced materials systems and structures enable far higher performance than can be achieved by silicon solar cells. Improved performance also drives many other costs out of the value chain. Flexible, innovative forms further improve the economics
