Yes, well said Norman (and thanks for the info Scott). I’ve been doing some digging this week on volume buying through Yingli, Mitsubishi, Canadian Solar, Renesola etc. We’ve also had some conversations between some members on business models recently and “franchising” the more successful ones, but yes a more cohesive approach would yield bigger results.

As you know the work we’re doing here at ST on larger arrays is in swing and could provide a solid income-generation model for developing larger arrays (1MW or more) that is owned by CEN (though not sure if the IP can be protected – would be more of first-mover basis).

I’ll bring it up with the Managing Committee next week.

Cheers, Phil
