is low or negative However, the heavy fixed costs—totaling about $128 million annually in wages and overhead—compress operating profitability initially Our analysis shows first-year EBITDA at $245,000, but the business requires $75 million in minimum cash funding to cover the $85 million CAPEX and ramp-up phase Founders must focus on maximizing high-value material yield (Silicon and Silver) and achieving rapid volume scaling to reduce the 56-month payback period By 2030, EBITDA is projected to hit $77 million, showing the long-term potential of this capital-intensive
