Natcore Technology Inc. (NXT), a Red Bank, New Jersey-based solar energy technology company, will deliver its first anti-reflective coating system for testing by the Chinese cell maker Hunan TLNZ Solar Technology Co.

Hunan TLNZ, of Xiangtan, China, is expected to purchase the system if the tests go well, Natcore said today in a statement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“If it works they’ll buy that one and buy two or three more,” Natcore Chief Executive Officer Chuck Provini said in an interview today. “We have begun speaking with several other companies in China,” he said.

Natcore said March 15 that MicroTech Process Inc. of Fremont, California, is building the coating systems, which will take eight to 10 weeks to produce.

Natcore’s liquid phase deposition technology, licensed from Rice University, uses a proprietary mixture of chemicals to create a layer of silicon dioxide on solar cells at room temperature. The company says this is less costly than other systems that require high-temperature vacuum furnaces to create an anti-reflective layer.
