The model shows a strong financial outlook, projecting a 24-month payback period and an exceptional 39817% Return on Equity (ROE) Your immediate focus must be deploying the initial $145 million in capital expenditure (CapEx) efficiently, specifically on assets like the $42 million Roll-to-Roll Processing Line Monitor Gross Margin per product line weekly, especially as unit prices drop-the Utility Solar Module price falls from $450 in 2026 to $370 by 2030 Total projected revenue hits $2987 million by 2030, driven by scaling production from 39,000 total units in 2026 to over 1 million
