what is QB

QuantumBoost™ (QB™) is the only device in the world that increases the energy obtained from photovoltaic modules, by boosting their performance by approximately 10%. The increase in the DC power output of a photovoltaic module is made possible by enabling the PV module to capture hot carriers before thermalization. High-frequency electric pulses are applied to the PV cells. These pulses create metastable quantum states at the energy levels of hot carriers increasing the lifetime of hot carriers from a few picoseconds to a few hundred microseconds. These pulses are created by a thin film coating of pyroelectric material on a glass substrate, which along with electronic circuitry is integrated inside the QB. The electrons’ speed is boosted and their band gap is altered. At this point, the panel can absorb more light, thus improving performance and resolving the traditional problem of the dispersion of energy by solar panels.
