Can PFLM's PV film be sprayed on? If so are we the company that this guy is on about?



If, hang onto your hats!

Cant be many companies in the US expanding at the moment taken on extra staff!

Look how the thin film panel blows around in the wind, truly paper like consistency.

Quite a comprehensive review of two Powerfilm products here,

[shroder] 24/7/2011 13:08

I still haven't got around to updating the first post, hopefully next weekend.

I note that Powerfilm has registered the domain, texysolar.com

Powefilm has a brilliant future, take a look to www.invesbolsa.com

Agreed Robbo, the areas are vast so would need to scale up production by some margin, that said they have now moved up to meter wide production on a roll to roll process.

I need to check my notes but from memory they have three of these machines so theoretically could produce a three meter wide strip joining again to make the final sheet.

Perhaps this is similar to the current manufacturing process for architectural fabrics.

Ref your comment: Their current offering in the strecth fabric market is named TexyLoop so one might expect TexySolar to replace/complement this range of products.

Shroder, if that's correct they will need miles of the stuff or maybe they will just do some of the panels?

[asparks] 13/7/2011 13:11

how'd you do that. Cool.

[shroder] 13/7/2011 13:02

I am going to add a flag counter to see if anyone logs on from the USA.

Following up on yesterday's RNS.

Encouraging announcement this morning. Not earth shattering but shows the local State government have faith in what they are doing.

[shroder] 09/7/2011 12:13

I thought this was really cool, shows how versatile the solar panels are.

[shroder] 06/7/2011 08:44

asparks, I think there was a lot of expectation around all solar related companies during that period, PVCS was up at £2 giving it a market cap of £880m.

The economic downturn in '08 followed by over supply in the PV market helped push prices down.

Those valuations are based on future expectations rather than current fundamentals, looking across PFLM's balance sheet since '03 confirms this.

[asparks] 06/7/2011 08:25

any idea why this was worth over 400p per share in 2008? What was that valuation based on?

Cheers

[shroder] 06/7/2011 08:23

it looks like they have released a small video of the open day.

[shroder] 05/7/2011 11:58

Robbo, looking the the Tribune report I think it answers our question as to what was in the field photo above.

"Prototypes for the latest version of the charger were finished the second week of June and are now in assembly for shipment.

They fit into suitcase-sized containers and they can recharge batteries for tanks, Humvees and helicopters, Scandrett said."

It looks as though they are hiring as well to meet demand/new products, excellent news.

Linda Borst, chief financial officer said that PowerFilm "is looking to hire at least five more manufacturing jobs," and will soon add a second shift.

"There are at least 18 to 20 more people working here now than there were two years ago," she said.

Good find qwazi, I see there was a late non reg RNS on Friday too confirming same.

This puts an entirely different perspective on things as it appears Phicot are going to be doing the manufacturing which looks to include HP products.

So I guess the funds currently ear marked for building/construction are just for expansion of the existing factory to scale up current production.

As Frank says it's been a long haul which now seems to be moving into the commercialisation stage.

The really good news from the interview is both companies are strengthening their partnership, I thought maybe after the dev/research phase is completed then each would go their own separate ways, clearly this is not the case.
