If you knew anything about manufacturing you would know how big a deal this is. Before manufacturing the first panel there is evaluation, testing, certifications, prototype, pilot plant, assembly line design and testing, materials testing and supplier contracts. Multi-billion dollar companies do not enter into this lightly and are planning for a certain volume of sales to justify the investment. And lest you forgot, the Hyundai deal starts at this level. " new Hyundai-branded TG-Series solar modules are expected to use 60-cell monocrystalline or polycrystalline technology (255w-280w) with a black Andalay frame, and will be manufactured in South Korea with an initial annualized capacity of over 50MW."
