The new cell structure – which can be achieved only through Natcore's proprietary laser processing technology – may allow for the complete elimination of silver from the finished silicon solar ...

Natcore says 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 ...

So what is the problem with silicon – it is odd, but the material is not as accessible as it might seem at first glance. If we take away the large deposits of silicon, we have to consider that in ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 18, 2015 /CNW/ -- When Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; OTCQB: NTCXF) announced the development of a breakthrough solar cell structure on July 9, they indicated that the ...

Traditional solar cells are made of high-purity silicon wafers that are energy-intensive to produce. In addition, they can only absorb certain parts of the solar spectrum. By contrast, perovskite ...

The world agrees that solar energy is crucial in tackling climate change. The International Energy Agency reports that ...
