Dr. Daniele Margadonna, Chief Technology Officer of MX Group SpA, has been selected to chair a new advisory board being formed by Natcore Technology Inc. The appointment is effective immediately. Dr. Margadonna is one of the most renowned solar scientists in Europe. He is particularly expert in three key areas that are of special interest to Natcore: Selective emitter concept, a process for putting front contacts on a solar cell that could improve its efficiency up to 2.0%.

Back side passivation, the process of filling dangling atomic bonds on the rear surface of solar cells and reducing the number of defects that always exist in the upper region of the cell body. It is critical to enabling production of long-term, high-performance silicon solar cells. Epitaxial growth, a new technology for the production of wafers with reusable silicon substrates.
