Company Files For Provisional U.S. Patent

Red Bank, NJ — (March 16, 2015) — Scientists working in the Rochester R&D Center of Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) have produced an all-back-contact silicon “HIT-structure” (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar cell using their proprietary laser technology.

“Silicon HIT-structure cells have been shown to yield record efficiencies of greater than 25%.” Says Dr. David Levy, Natcore’s Director of Research and Technology. “Natcore’s HIT-structure cells are made using thin amorphous silicon layers in combination with a standard crystalline silicon solar wafer. This concept makes very efficient cells, as seen in the Sanyo/Panasonic HIT™ cell.”

Natcore’s scientists used a laser in applying contacts to the rear of the cell. In addition to further increasing cell efficiency relative to industry standards, the Natcore all-back-contact technique could allow production of these high efficiency cells at low cost.

Panasonic recently reported an all-back-contact HIT-structure with 25.6% conversion efficiency – the highest efficiency ever reached for a silicon solar cell. That cell, however, was produced using a relatively complicated, higher-cost process. Natcore believes that it can achieve similar efficiencies at a much lower cost and without the environmental damage incurred through the chemicals and energy required for the high-temperature process.

Because of their initial results, Natcore has moved to protect its new process by filing a provisional patent application titled with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

“Basic HIT-structure cell technology is a couple of decades old,” says Chuck Provini, Natcore President and CEO. “But our HIT-structure cell is not your father’s HIT cell. We’ve made a device that has all of the positive aspects of a HIT cell, but also with our laser technology that will allow us to significantly streamline production. Our cell will have a much lower manufacturing cost than the cells made using the older technology. We continue to change the ways solar cells are made.”

Red Bank, NJ — (February 3, 2015) — Dr. Dennis Flood, the Chief Technology Officer and a cofounder of Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK), was chosen to give an opening address of the 6^th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion in Kyoto, Japan.

Dr. Flood was also chosen to introduce the winner of the World Prize, which is given every four years.

The Conference brings together the three major photovoltaic communities (Europe, United States, Japan/Asia) every four years. Dr. Flood organized and chaired the first WCPEC in 1994 while he was Chief of the Photovoltaic and Space Environments Branch at NASA.

Following the conference, Dr. Flood was the opening plenary speaker at a special two-day workshop in Myazaki, Japan, the third in a series of such biennial events. It was attended by a select group of scientists from universities in Japan and Korea. At this workshop, characterized by Dr. Flood as a “very high-powered event,” he presented Natcore’s work on black silicon and quantum dot solar cells.

While in Japan, Dr. Flood also met with a Sharp Electronics team that is responsible for the development of heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cells. These are super high efficiency devices that could result in an efficiency of 25%. After exchanging non-disclosure agreements, Sharp agreed to send HIT cells to Natcore, which will then put all-back contacts on them using Natcore’s proprietary laser technology. In addition to further increasing cell efficiency, the Natcore all-back-contact technique will lower production cost by eliminating diffusion furnaces.

“The presentations at the World Conference, and my conversations with attending solar manufacturers, confirm that Natcore is in a leading position with regard to the next paradigm shift in solar cell manufacturing,” says Dr. Flood. “There are two reasons. First is our work on black silicon antireflection control on n-type wafers, and second is our work on laser-processed, integrated back contacts (IBC) on n-type wafers.”

“Our presence at this event with other industry leaders gave us further exposure to a large and influential audience,” says Chuck Provini, Natcore President and CEO. “It will certainly pay off for Natcore as we begin to market our technology around the world.”

Will allow high-performance, all-back-contact solar cells to be manufactured at much lower cost than conventional cells.

Red Bank, NJ — (January 27, 2015) —Three months ago, Natcore Technology (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) announced that its scientists had created an all-low-temperature, laser-processed solar cell.

Now Natcore’s scientists have taken a giant step further, with an advance that promises not only to slash production costs, but also add significantly greater power output to commercial solar cells.

Working in their R&D Center in Rochester, NY, the Natcore team has successfully used their proprietary advances in laser technology to produce an all-low-temperature laser-doped solar cell with all of its electrical contacts on the back of the cell.

Eliminating the contacts from the front of the cell will allow an additional 4% to 6% more light to enter the cell and increase its output by a comparable amount. This increase along with other expected gains can increase efficiencies by up to 4% on an absolute basis relative to current benchmarks for front contact solar cells.

Moreover, in their latest effort the Natcore team has achieved an open-circuit voltage of 0.6 V. These and other performance metrics indicate that, with further refinement, efficiencies significantly equaling or exceeding today’s best commercial cells are possible.

While other all-back-contact cells have been produced, they use high-temperature diffusion in their doping steps and highly complex multi-step patterning processes to apply the electrical contacts. Natcore’s all-back-contact cell, on the other hand, uses only high-speed, inexpensive laser processing to define the doping regions and the contacts.

Natcore’s elegantly simple approach makes it uniquely suited to large-scale manufacturing. It will provide the best of all worlds by allowing high-performance all-back contact cells to be manufactured at much lower cost than current or conventional solar cells.

The all-back-contact cell is the latest salvo in Natcore’s assault on solar cell manufacturing costs. Earlier developments:

• Natcore’s black silicon process should save 23.5% in manufacturing costs by eliminating one furnace from the conventional production process.
• Natcore’s highly specialized laser processing will eliminate a second, final furnace, cutting costs even further.
• Substituting a copper catalyst for gold or silver in the surface etching promises significant, on-going process savings.

“We’re at a real frontier,” says Dr. David Levy, Natcore’s Director of Research & Technology. “We’re changing the way solar cells are made. We’re very optimistic about our prospects because our cells are behaving according to our theoretical expectations.”

“With every advance, we’re further defining what will be recognized as the ‘Natcore Process,’” says Chuck Provini, Natcore’s president and CEO. Ultimately our process will yield superlative solar cells that are highly efficient, inexpensive to produce, and kind to the environment.”

“The key to making solar energy competitive without government subsidies is to slash production costs and increase power output,” notes Natcore’s Chairman, Brien Lundin. “This latest advance in laser processing does both, and to a greater degree than even we thought possible. This is our first application that is both disruptive and ready for market.”

The next steps in the development will be to add Natcore’s black silicon antireflection control technology to the front of the cell. Natcore will have a unique and proprietary position with this technology.
