103 million USD for 10 MWe is USD 10,300 per kWe. Way too expensive compared to thinfilm plants of similar size. The company claims USD 150 per kWe at large scale, this is not very credible with current performance at the 10 MWe level. The question is how much of the high cost is first time development and overhead costs.
These guys are considerably behind on thinfilm cost leaders today. They need to catch up faster or be lost as static in the exploding world of PV.
