Their production is taken for at least the next year, and they are looking to ramp to high volume commodity manufacturing ASAP. (Think DRAMS, only cheaper)
Initial production is going to private power plants behind fences and under strict NDA agreements. They need to prove the technology, and protect their proprietary information. Not surprisingly, these intial installations are in Germany, because they have the best subsidies for this sort of technology.
Once they have the technology worked out to really scale this, they will train wholesalers and installers around the world.
Solar Energy is our best hope to stop global warming, but beware of subtle/sneaky push-back from traditional energy suppliers and distributors.
If you want to bring this to your neighborhood, the best thing you can do is lobby your government to encourage it (or at least get out of the way)
Example: The municpal power distributor (the folks who print your electric bill) should be independent of the transmission line operators and wholesale producers. If it's all the same company, one division will have zero interest in taking business away from the other.
