Natcore Technology Inc (NTCXF)

[JB3729]

I didn't expect Natcore to comment on the financials. I had hoped that they would tell us the consortium's current panel capacity, the number of AR-Boxes needed to satisfy that capacity, and if black silicon will be a premium product as opposed to the AR-coating of typical flat wafers. I'd also like to know the thickness of the wafers that MX will run through the AR-Boxes. Natcore may reveal this information after a contract is signed, or maybe not. I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

The CVD solar cell manufactures are currently in the process of reducing wafer thickness to 150 microns. Dr. Flood stated that Natcore's LPD process will work on wafers that are 20 microns thick, which is the thinnest wafers that have been cleaved. When the solar cell manufacturers, using Natcore's LPD process, start to reduce their wafer thickness below 150 microns, the amount of energy needed to make the wafers and the price of these silicon wafers will start to fall, and Natcore's LPD customers will benefit from it.

For our information, from Wikipedia:

An LOI may also be referred to as a memorandum of understanding (MOU), term sheet or discussion sheet. The different terms reflect different styles, but do not indicate any difference under law. A contract, in contrast, is a legal document governed by contract law.
