Als Vorbereitung für die baldigen QZahlen zur Auffrischung die Planung vom Frühjahr: Vielleicht muss man inzwischen die oder andere Sonderausgabe mitkalkulieren… Laut Aussage von OEGY vom 12.Mai 2006 hat man nun gut 20 Mio und gedenkt die wie folgt auszugeben: Working Capital over next 12 months $ 10,500,000 Acquisition of SRS $ 3,200,000 Acquisition of CRE $ 1,200,000 Current Planned Capital Expenditures $ 1,500,000 Retiring Notes Payable $ 740,000 Research and Development over next 12 months $ 1,510,000 Offering Expenses $ 1,600,000 Total: $ 20,250,000 (R + D Mittel sollen laut Plan im wesentlichen für Suncone verwendet werden.) The Manufacturing Process We manufacture SolarSave membranes in an 9,950 sq. ft. facility in Aurora, Ontario, Canada. (Das wären ca 100*100 Fuss = 30*30Meter?!) Our proprietary process is unique when compared to the construction of traditional solar modules. The process starts by assembling and soldering PV cells into strings in our tabbing department. The strings are transported to the lay-up department and placed on specially designed tables. The module layout consists of 18 strings of nine cells (minus two for the junction box) with bypass diodes encapsulated to prevent overheating should one cell become shaded. A high-modulus composite back sheet is laid down to provide rigidity to the product, followed by layers of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), cells and other sheeting materials in order to build a multi-layer "sandwich". The modules are then baked at high temperature under vacuum pressure in custom laminators for a set time, allowing the EVA to cross link to form permanent bonds between the laminations. The final step is taken in the gluing department, where the panels are adhered to sheets of PVC roofing membrane material. SolarSave PV Tiles are manufactured in our 8,000 sq. ft. facility in Grass Valley, California. Pre-assembled PV modules are glued in place into the bases, output tabs are secured, and junction box bases are installed into place. Then, the circuit boards of the blocking diodes are placed on the junction box bases. At this point, quality checks verify power output and proper circuitry. SolarSave PV Tiles are then placed in customized packaging designed to be conveyed onto the roof at any given job site, rapidly unpacked and easily installed by traditional roofing contractors. SolarSave Architectural PV Glass is specified by architects and designers seeking to incorporate photovoltaics directly into skylights, glass canopies, or vertical glass curtain walls. We string PV cells together in our Canadian facility, then lay them between EVA top and bottom sheets. These in turn are sandwiched between top and bottom sheets of glass per the colors, dimensions and technical specifications of the project. The glass panels are placed in a special laminator and processed under heat and vacuum pressure to create a bonded product. It is removed from the laminator, trimmed, and packaged for safe shipment to the job site. We also design and build customized system components engineered to be used in concert with the power output specifications of each of our PV systems. These balance-of-system components include inverters, combiners and various other accessories, including fuse blocks. In our Grass Valley facility, we produce high and low voltage combiner boxes and inverters for residential applications. For commercial installations we also manufacture combiners, and specify (and at times modify) inverters from various OEM suppliers. Significant Plant and Equipment Expenditures We anticipate that we will make significant capital expenditures over the next twelve months for manufacturing equipment and leasehold improvements. We are in the process of securing additional manufacturing space for the operation in Grass Valley, California. We estimate that the additional space will require cash of $9,000 per month for rent, and approximately $750,000 in equipment. The amount needed will depend upon the availability of suitable space, market rents, the configuration of the equipment and the availability of lease financing. In addition, we plan to buy manufacturing equipment that we estimate will cost approximately $500,000. The total dollar amount of capital expenditures is expected to depend on the volume of purchase orders received from our customers. |
