Good sales pitch.
They have several factories, several hundred million $ investment,
and have presold $150m of production.

Of course, they could be lying and are really 2x as expensive as they
claim, putting them on a par with the competition. IIRC the biggest
manufacturer is Chinese, currently churning out 400MW per year of PV
and intending to push that to 1GW quite soon. That's like one
nuclear power station per year capacity.

correction....
a nuclear power station should work at night and during
thunderstorms

Importantly, it works when you need it most.... ie. when its night and cold.
