      NATCORE TECHNOLOGY ENLARGES SOLAR SCIENCE
      PORTFOLIO WITH ACQUISITION OF VANGUARD SOLAR

      Vanguard’s technology to complement Natcore’s

      VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – March 29, 2010 – One month after announcing the formation of a joint venture in China to produce equipment and materials for use in making solar cells, Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) is pleased to announce that it has executed a letter of intent to purchase Vanguard Solar, Inc., a private firm controlling key intellectual property in the field of solar energy. The closing of the transaction is subject to the completion of due diligence and mutually agreeable legal documentation.

      Vanguard has been focused on the development of a flexible, thin-film photovoltaic material capable of silicon solar cell-like efficiency performance potentially at one tenth the manufacturing cost and one twentieth the capital investment.

      Vanguard employs a proprietary chemical bath process similar to Natcore’s liquid phase deposition (LPD) technology, although Vanguard is growing II-VI compound semiconductor thin films on carbon nanotubes at room temperature and ambient pressure, while Natcore has thus far concentrated on growing silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates.

      The first-generation products from Vanguard’s method could produce 15%-16% efficiencies at module costs of 60¢ to 70¢ per watt. It is anticipated that second-generation technology could achieve 20% efficiencies at even lower costs per watt. The investment for production facilities is projected as low as $10 million to $15 million per 100-megawatt to 150-megawatt production capability, as compared with current costs of as much as $250 million for standard solar-cell production facilities. Vanguard’s production equipment would be designed for insertion into an existing roll-to-roll film-coating line of the sort that has been displaced by the emergence of digital photography. All production materials are widely available and dramatically cheaper than silicon and other thin film systems. If successfully developed, the process would enable a very cost-efficient production capability in large-scale facilities.

      Two of Vanguard’s founders and shareholders are Professor Andrew Barron and Dr. Dennis Flood, both of whom are scientific founders of Natcore. It was collectively felt that the acquisition of Vanguard Solar and the integration of its technology into Natcore’s intellectual property portfolio would continue to expand the depth and breadth of Natcore’s impact on the solar industry.

      As consideration for the purchase of Vanguard Solar, Natcore has agreed to issue Vanguard shareholders common shares of Natcore Technology, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Specific terms of the transaction will be provided upon closing of the acquisition.

      “We are particularly excited about this acquisition, because it represents another compelling outgrowth of Prof. Barron’s foundational work in chemical processes that mimic materials growth in nature,” says Chuck Provini, Natcore’s President and CEO. “In fact, the very name of our company, being a combination of ‘nature’ and ‘core,’ was chosen to reflect this remarkable synthesis of natural processes, such as the growth of an abalone shell, that grow extraordinary materials in widely varied environments. By employing ultra-pure chemicals and modern materials science, Prof. Barron has been able to combine the best of man and nature.”

      Brien Lundin, Natcore’s Chairman, notes that “While we remain focused and committed to advancing our LPD technology for anti-reflective (AR) films and super-efficient tandem solar cells, the acquisition of Vanguard Solar provides significant additional value to our intellectual property portfolio. Meanwhile, our work to advance our LPD technology, and to finalize our joint venture agreement with our Chinese partners for the design and sale of AR-growth equipment, continues on schedule. We expect to provide more-detailed updates in the very near future.”

      Natcore eyes mass production of super-efficient cells with Vanguard Solar acquisition
      01 April 2010 | By Síle Mc Mahon | News > Thin Film, Emerging/R&D

      *Natcore Technology, exclusive licensee of a proprietary thin-film growth technology from Rice University, has added to its portfolio with the acquisition of Vanguard Solar, a private company developing key intellectual property in the solar realm. The closing of the transaction is subject to the completion of due diligence and legal documents.

      Vanguard has developed a flexible, thin-film photovoltaic material that is claimed to be capable of efficiencies similar to those of silicon cells, but at a fraction of the cost. The company uses a proprietary chemical bath process to grow II-VI compound semiconductor thin films on carbon nanotubes at room temperature and ambient pressure.

      Natcore’s technology is similar, but its liquid phase deposition (LPD) technology focuses on the production of solar cells by growing silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates. The company claims that there is potential for mass manufacturing of super-efficient (30%+) tandem solar cells with double the power output of most solar products. The news comes soon after Natcore’s announced intention of setting up a joint venture in China to develop materials and equipment for solar cell production.

      The acquisition of Vanguard by Natcore could, with the combination of technologies and knowledge, result in first-generation products at 15%-16% efficiencies, at the low module cost of 60-70 cents per watt. Second-generation technology could potentially reach 20% efficiencies at even lower manufacturing costs, according to the company.

      Production facilities for future development is expected to be as low as US$10 million to US$15 million per 100-150MW production capacity – vastly lower than the costs associated with standard cell production factories. Vanguard’s existing equipment base can be easily incorporated into an existing roll-to-roll film-coating line, which makes this development venture potentially very cost-effective.

      Natcore Unveils First Commercial Application


      Dr. Dennis Flood (l.) and Prof. Andrew R. Barron, two founders of Natcore Technology, assemble a prototype NanoShade solar energy collector. NanoShades can be mounted on vertical surfaces of new and existing buildings, and can be configured in diverse shapes and sizes for integration onto a variety of architectural surfaces.

      Natcore Technology has introduced NanoShades, solar energy collectors that can be mounted on vertical surfaces of new and existing buildings.

      Each NanoShade comprises a set of angled slats or flat strips fixed at regular intervals in an aluminum frame. The 6"-wide slats are aluminum extrusions to which solar cells are affixed. The slats are positioned at the optimum angle to maximize solar exposure at the building's latitude. The silicon-based solar cells can be fashioned in a variety of shapes and sizes.

      Initially these systems will employ conventional solar cell technology. They will incorporate advanced solar cells made possible by Natcore's proprietary Liquid Phase Deposition technology when they become available.

      NanoShades showcase the company's ability to integrate solar panels onto a variety of shapes and architectural surfaces. Although they can be sized to fit any configuration, a typical NanoShade unit will be about eight feet high and five feet wide. Current designs call for nine slats within each frame.

      A proof-of-concept system has been tested at Rice University in Houston, Texas, where it has been collecting data since April 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Andrew R. Barron and Dr. Dennis Flood, two of Natcore's founders.

      Preliminary engineering and design work for a commercial system has been accomplished, and vendors have been sourced. Two patent applications relating to these systems have been filed, and NanoShade is constructing a prototype for independent testing and bonding requirements in preparation for initial production.

      To examine efficiencies at a more northern latitude, NanoShade will conduct research at the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT, during the current academic year. Researchers there will also examine reliability, weatherability and endurance of the units. Ali Montazer, professor and Associate Dean of Engineering at UNH, will oversee the testing.

      NanoShade expects its devices to help builders qualify for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED is intended to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

      To produce NanoShades, Natcore has formed NanoShade Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Red Bank, NJ. "We created a new company to market NanoShades because we don't want to distract from Natcore's primary business--the development of super-efficient solar cells with twice the output of conventional ones," says Chuck Provini, Natcore's president and CEO.

      Provini will initially hold the same jobs with the new subsidiary, but design, production and marketing functions are being overseen by consultants with experience in architecture and construction.

      NanoShade has already been asked to bid on new projects. Says Provini, "To show just how green we are, we're actually using recycled solar cells for some of our initial units. We've been approached by various companies to do this since they want to be at the front of the line when our super-efficient solar cell technology is developed."

      NanoShade Solar expects to start accepting orders and shipping NanoShades in the first quarter of 2011.

      Natcore Technology Signs Agreement For First Sale


      Chinese Company to Introduce Natcore AR Equipment Into Their Solar Production Line



      Red Bank, NJ — (March 22, 2011) — Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) has signed a letter of understanding to sell its first intelligent antireflective (AR) coating processing station to Hunan TLNZ Solar Technology Co. Ltd. (TLNZ) of Xiangtan, China.

      Natcore believes its device will revolutionize the way that solar cells are made. It will replace the expensive and environmentally harmful chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method currently used by industry with a liquid phase deposition (LPD), or wet chemistry, process. Exclusively licensed from Rice University, the Natcore LPD process grows an AR coating on solar cells while reducing cost, environmental damage, and energy and raw material requirements.

      Natcore began building its processing station on March 15. It is expected that completion of the first production phase will take eight to ten weeks. After extensive testing and adjustments, if necessary, the device will be shipped to TLNZ in China. The sale closing is contingent upon a successful test by TLNZ.

      Late last year, Natcore sent several silicon wafers with AR coatings prepared by its researchers to TLNZ for finishing and testing. TLNZ analyzed the composition and quality of the Natcore-supplied films, added metal front and back contacts to the cells, and tested their efficiency. Cell efficiencies as high as 15% were measured for this first-ever test of Natcore’s AR coating technology using actual production solar cells. Importantly, the standard deviation of efficiencies for the entire batch of cells was within normal industry acceptance limits. The results demonstrate that Natcore’s LPD AR coating technology is completely compatible with standard silicon solar cell production methods and can be easily integrated into existing solar cell manufacturing facilities.

      TLNZ also identified the process steps to be included in a commercial production system that would enable cells using Natcore’s AR coating technology to routinely reach or exceed 17% efficiency in production.

      Natcore is designing its processing station in a modular fashion. Every processing station will have the ability to monitor the coating process throughout and to accurately measure the thickness of the AR coating on a wafer while it is submerged in a chemical bath. Beyond that, however, some will be fully automated, for example, or able to automatically recharge the bath in which the cells are coated. Others will be able to alter the composition and duration of the bath in order to produce cells with greater simplicity and a high degree of precision.

      “We have designed this product so we can add and subtract components based on the needs of our customers” says Natcore President and CEO Chuck Provini. “This means that we can build machines across a wide range of complexity, capabilities and price and accommodate the specific needs of individual manufacturers. Some solar cell producers will want the fully automated version whereas others may prefer a version that involves a more manual process, because of availability of inexpensive labor.”

      Hunan TLNZ Solar Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech solar energy enterprise with facilities covering 133,000 square meters and a total investment of 800 million Yuan (about US$122 million). The company has plans to expand from an intitial production rate of 25MW to 200 MW. Located in the Photovoltaic Industry Park within the Xiangtan State High and New Technology Development Area, Hunan Province, it stands as the first enterprise of its kind in the park. TLNZ is situated in the center of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan economic development circle. Natcore has formed a joint venture in Zhuzhou to build its intelligent AR coating processing stations.
