Specialchem site today posted the most recent Natcore Press release of may 5th content
Below the Press release was the following Paragragh
ABOUT NATCORE TECHNOLOGY
NATCORE TECHNOLOGY IS THE EXCLUSIVE LICENSEE, FROM RICE UNIVERSITY, OF A REMARKABLE
NEW THIN-FILM GROWTH TECHNOLOGY. ALTHOUGH THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS DISCOVERY FOR
SEMICONDUCTORS AND FIBRE OPTICS ARE SIGNIFICANT AND WIDE-RANGING, OUR TECHNOLOGY
HAS TWO IMMEDIATE AND COMPELLING APPLICATIONS IN THE SOLAR SECTOR.::
1. IT COULD ENABLE SILICON SOLAR CELL MANUFACTURERS TO REDUCE SILICON USAGE BY
OVER 60% ---THEREBY DRAMATICALLY DECREASING COSTS, IMPROVING PROFIT MARGINS AND
BOOSTING THROUGHPUT.
2. MOST IMPORTANTLY . IT PROMISES TO ALLOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, MASS MANUFACTURING OF
SUPER EFFICIENT (30%+) TANDEM SOLAR CELLS WITH DOUBLE THE POWER OUTPUT OF
TODAY'S MOST EFFICIENT DEVICES. PROJECTIONS SHOW OUR PROCESS HAS THE POTENTIAL
TO ALLOW THESE SOLAR CELLS TO BE MANUFACTURED AT A LOWER COST THAN ANYTHING
CURRENTLY COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE.
