kungfu1, Natcore's last PR stated that the final testing on the AR-Box will be completed on September 9th. The samples should go out shortly after that.

From my AGM notes ...

Technology Update ...

Black silicon passavation and AR coating coming soon. Test results should be in hand in 2-3 months with sales after that. Natcore plans to distribute 1000's of samples to solar manufacturers. Natcore expects solar manufacturers to switch from convential flat wafers to the textured black silicon wafers. Natcore expects output from the black silicon panels to be 20-30% greater than fixed in place convential panels. The output gains come from greater sunlight absorbtion, from different sunlight angles, due to the textured surface. Currently there are 3 potential buyers for the Intelligent LPD Process machines. No elaboration beyond TLNZ Solar. Natcore expects more buyers after the coated black silicon samples go out. It sounded like Natcore thinks they have a big winner here with the passavation and AR coating of black silicon.
