margins (around 87% in 2026) and scalable fixed costs This guide outlines seven strategies to push EBITDA margins past 75% by 2030 by focusing on optimizing the product mix, securing deeper component cost reductions, and improving logistics efficiency Initial analysis shows that shifting the sales mix toward higher-value commercial and grid units can increase average unit revenue from $15,557 to over $17,000 within 18 months You must continuously drive down the 70% variable operating expenses (OpEx) to sustain this high profitability as competition
