Commissioning - how I see it Now that they have all the parts in place it won't take long to find outif the pilot plant works. They have tested and ran the individual components on their own, and they worked. Now they have everything arranged on a production line to see if they can now produce the product in bulk.
Once they have a product they will have it tested by a third party, which will take a longtime. But no battery manufacturer has any silicon battery recipe ready for mass production. Any samples or product send to battery manufacturers would be used in the manufacturers development phase.
HPQ would be able to keep up with those orders likely with the pilot plant. Plus supply silicon powders to solar and chip manufacturers. The build out for a mass production plant will be build while the battery manufacturers build their mass plants.
I see the pilot plant after proving the samples will go into full production bringing in revenue. Will will have the answers on the pilot plants viability way before EBH2 is tested.
The bashers keep bashing, who cares your noise will just be noise. But your regrets from not buying into HPQ will haunt you for life!
