There is also a real chance the Chinese will pirate the IP and bring it to a hungry market at a price that you can't compete with. Acting when the market is ripe is pretty key.

NOBODY HAS SEEN THEM YET.
NO TECHNICAL SPECS SHEETS.
NO DISTRIBUTORS.
WHERE IS ALL THE ACTUAL PRODUCTION GOING??
FRANCE? to their investors?
WHY ALL THIS SMOKE AROUND THEIR PANELS?

Could be that the Silicon panel manufacturers have bullied this guys to keep their prices high, or to protect their market?

What is going on?

Martin Roscheisen says, in Q # 10:
We are lined up with the industry’s top system integrators as our partners, [who are they, we don't see any Unisolar panels yet; and why they enjoy such exclusive rights to their product?] and it is clear we are going to be manufacturing capacity limited for about as far out as we can see.

[why, if they have a WINNER solar panel, that can be manufactured in huge amounts using "roll to roll" technology, and have a line of investors at their doors? and what is keeping them from "doing it".
"technology greed", patent problems, or technical problems?

This is a fierce market and another perhaps even bigger breakthrough in solar panel technology can happen anywhere else at anytime, if they don’t jump on the bandwagon and get as much of their share as they can, and contribute to the clean energy development and IMPLEMENTATION, they could be out of business in a blink.

Too much cautiousness is detrimental to any business, risk and win.

Not quiet but good enough this should seriously reduce the price of the modules. I would like to know the game plan are they going to wait until PV becomes, price competitive with grid electricity before they jack up the through put of the plant reduce price and gain market share or are they going to increase through put now and try and reduce price so that it is compatable with the grid now. I suspect that they will install more lines during the next few years subsidies for building in East Germany and the feed in tariff which will most likely be renewed this year is a nice easy safe easy way to do this and when PV become competitive with the grid. speed up the through put and drop prices and grab as big a share of the market as possible. I live right on the German boarder and when I go into the German village just over the boarder no more than a couple of hundred meters from where I live I see many houses with large PV arrays. A farmer I know has both the roofs of his barns covered in PV arrays. I only wish we had the same here in Holland.</p> What seems to have been missed is that the plant produces 1GW at 100 feet/min if it could get up to 2,000 feet/min which he says is theoretically possible, then he has a 20GW production facility for the same production cost as a 1GW.
