Natcore Technology Develops Breakthrough Solar Cell Structure

Scientists working in the Rochester R&D Center of Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) have developed a new solar cell structure that will simplify the production process, significantly lower costs, and speed the path toward ultra high-efficiency cells.

Importantly, the new cell structure has the potential to completely eliminate high-cost silver from mass-manufactured silicon solar cells – an achievement that has been a long-time goal of solar science.

As it says in the press release, 30% of the cost of silicon cells comes from silver so this would really bring the price of solar down if it works as the company says.
