Natcore Technology Acquires Vanguard Solar
Acquisition will strengthen Natcore’s portfolio of solar energy IP
Natcore Technology, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, is the exclusive licensee of a thin-film growth technology, exclusively licensed from Rice University. Vanguard Solar has a proprietary chemical bath deposition (CBD) technology that is touted as a low-investment, low-cost process for coating carbon nanotubes (CNT's) with high-quality conformal semiconductor crystalline film. Two of Natcore’s scientific founders, who also founded Vanguard Solar, felt that the integration of Vanguard Solar’s technology into Natcore's intellectual property portfolio would ensure continued expansion of the depth and breadth of Natcore's impact on the solar industry.
NWN Note: Vanguard Solar was a presenting company in the TechConnect-Nanotech Venture Program in 2009 in Houston, TX.
