I read an article on the Twin Creek system that said it would take 1.5 million wafers to generate 6 megawatts of power. I presume that means 250,000 wafers to generate 1 megawatt. If our machine can generate 2000 wafers an hour that should translate to 125 hours to create 1 megawatt. I have no idea how long it takes a conventional furnace to manufacture the same amount of cells.

I'm in the middle on the timing on the "tool". I don't think it is a prototype that will not be in production for several months but it seems clear that it won't be ready for sale in less than 2-3 months. I believe we are in a holding pattern on the SP for at least 2 months, barring any spectacular news on a partner for R2R or something similar.

I also agree that appointing a director of operations is a meaningful step in the right direction.
