Natcore Technology : PV partners raise Queensland rays
03/04/2017 | 08:23am GMT
Natcore Technology and Denzo Group Australia have expanded plans for the Bundaberg solar plant in Queensland, increasing the proposed capacity to 58MW from 30MW previously.
The project, to be located in the Wide BayBurnett region of the Australian state, will cover 188 hectares and also have land set aside for a battery storage facility.
Denzo has secured the land and is in advanced negotiations with Powerlink, the transmission owner.
It has also filed a pre-development application to the Bundaberg Regional Council.
Natcore and Denzo plan to form a special purpose vehicle called Clean Holdings Pty to develop the project.
Denzo managing director Ken Mathews said: Our intention is to use Natcores best of breed innovation to produce a working example of the very latest solar generation technology, coupled with the best storage available.

How exactly did you check with Bien Thuan Province? Their governmental website has not been updated in months.
Why Natcore's technology will be best for Bihn Thuan Province:
Natcore's Black Silicon technology eliminates the need for highly toxic silane gas in the production of solar cells:

This makes it the most environmentally friendly way to produce solar cells.
Why Vietnam is the best place for Natcore to be --

Natcore's Vietnam project is in Binh Thuan province. Binh Thuan province has long had extreme levels of pollution coming from its coal fired power plants:

I quoted from the article. Here it is again:
"Materials and methods
Isonicotinic acid (iNA), copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate
(CuSO4.5H2O), hydrazine hydrate (N2H4.H2O),
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), formaldehyde
solution (37 wt%), tin(II) chloride (SnCl2), and
palladium(II) chloride (PdCl2) were purchased from
Sigma-Aldrich, Ltd. and used as received. Aluminacoated
silicon wafers prepared by atomic layer deposition
(ALD) were provided by Natcore Technology,
Inc. (NTX.V)."

I think the research is directed to addressing problems with corrosion on aluminum that make it unsuitable for long-term electrical connections. If the aluminum can be coated with a thin but permanent layer of some kind of copper substrate that might make an aluminum back contact solar cell ready for commercialization.
Paper just published online about Andrew Barron's research on the surface initiated growth of copper on aluminum using Natcore's back contact aluminum silicon wafers. Here's a quote:

Provini himself made some very speculative projections for revenue possibilities at the New Orleans Conference last year.
Nevertheless, the Stock Gumshoe not only neglected revenue from materials but he completely ignored any possible revenues from a switch to aluminum from silver.
