Costs have been rolling down hill for years now, but it looks like they’re still quite a ways from the bottom.

They also have plans for tandem solar cells, and eventually quantum dot cells. In case any one is interested, Natcore is a publicly traded company. NTCXF.PK or NTX on the Toronto exchange.
