For starters, ck1234 had posted information from the original 2009 power point ...
According to Tom Scarpa's email response to questions, this projection still stands ...
Above, I also included Tom's statement regarding black silicon and the dimension of wafers currently used by TLNZ. We could see additional revenue from the black silicon and a reduced thickness of the wafers.
The $5 of revenue for each 150 watts should apply to today's larger panels (200 watts for instance), as the larger panels require more silicon wafers.
1,000 watts = kilowatt
1,000,000 watts = megawatt
1,000,000,000 watts = gigawatt
1 gigawatt divided by 150 watts = 6,666,000 X $5 = $33,330,000 per gigawatt of revenue to Natcore
In the detailed EPIA Report you posted ... http://www.epia.org/european-photovoltaic-industry-association.html
Global annual market scenarios of the pv market are listed in Figure 29. We have to reduce the figures by 20% to obtain the silicon pv markets annual gains. This is a list of the projected average annual gains of installed pv and the 20% reductions.
2012 ... 17 gigawatts X .80 = 13.6 gigawatts
2013 ... 24.5 gigawatts X .80 = 19.6 gigawatts
2014 ... 29 gigawatts X .80 = 23.2 gigawatts
2015 ... 34 gigawatts X .80 = 27.2 gigawatts
Trying to figure out how much of this future yearly installed pv will be AR coated by NIPS (Natcore Intelligent Process System) is guess work at best. We know that Natcore believes that the LPD process is a disruptive technology and Natcore stated that up to 500 employees will work at the Joint Venture NIPS manufacturing facility (500 employees can fabricate a huge number of NIPS). We also saw MicroTech's CEO's statement referring to Natcore's LPD Process, calling it a paradigm shift.
Some possible revenue scenarios, excluding revenue from the sale of the NIPS ...
10% market share in 2013 = 1.96 gigawatts X $33 mil = $64.68 mil
20% market share in 2014 = 4.64 gigawatts X $33 mil = $153.12 mil
30% market share in 2015 = 8.16 gigawatts X $33 mil = $269.28 mil
By mid 2013 Natcore should have their roll to roll thin film product commercialized. By the end of 2014 Natcore's tandem cell should be commercialized. These two products could provide unfathomable revenue!
To me, outside of the LPD technology, the number one reason to own Natcore is their business plan. I'm expecting 40% plus net income on revenue. Natcore may be able to run their entire business with 30-40 employees, including their lab people. With growth and net income this high, it is reasonable to expect a high P/E ratio.
All IMO,
JB
