A New Jersey solar power company is currently in negotiations with Congresswoman Louise Slaughter of New York to move its operations to Kodak's Eastman Business Park. Slaughter has been in talks with Natcore Technology for the past few weeks in hopes of luring the company to The Empire State. Nactore specializes in the manufacturing of flexible solar cells that could potentially cut the costs of producing solar modules and the time it takes to install them by upwards of 60 percent, according to executives from the company.
Kodak's business park would serve as the perfect location for the solar company, Slaughter affirms, because it can fit Natcore's research, development and manufacturing needs. "I have been amazed by the solar technology being developed by Natcore because I see the potential it has to make solar energy more efficient and cleaner to produce,"she told reporters.
"In Rochester, we are all familiar with the technological expertise and manufacturing know-how on the Kodak campus. If we can pair their capabilities with the emerging technology being developed by Natcore, we can bring the green jobs of tomorrow to Rochester."
In the past, Natcore has worked with Chinese companies to manufacture its solar modules, but Slaughter hopes to keep the technology in America to help create jobs and bring about further innovation to the domestic solar industry.
