NATCORE Technologies, Inc., based in Farmingdale, New York, is a development‐stage technology company focused on advancing photovoltaic and printed‐electronics manufacturing. The company’s core innovation is its aluminum‐enhanced induction light (AEIL) process, which is designed to improve the efficiency and drive down the production costs of crystalline silicon solar cells. By integrating proprietary metallization techniques, NATCORE aims to address key challenges in cell performance and yield for both utility‐scale and distributed solar projects.
In addition to its AEIL process, NATCORE conducts research and development on specialized metal inks and digital direct‐write manufacturing methods. These materials and processes enable precise deposition of conductive and barrier layers without the need for high‐temperature firing, offering potential benefits for flexible electronics, next‐generation modules, and advanced sensor applications. The company actively engages with silicon wafer producers, module assemblers, and academic institutions to pilot its technologies and secure licensing partnerships.
Founded in 2010, NATCORE has built a patent portfolio that underpins its approach to low‐cost solar cell fabrication and additive manufacturing. The company serves a global customer base of solar and electronics manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Asia, supporting efforts to improve energy conversion efficiencies and reduce overall system costs. Under the leadership of co‐founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Mihir Parikh, NATCORE continues to refine its processes and explore new applications for its metal‐ink and printed‐electronics technologies.
