RE: OPEL InternationalBut again, the market needs to see firm orders rather than conjecture and cozy relationships. Until then, we are what we are perceived to be, a .20 stock. The Italian market is opening big time. I only hope that they have all the i s dotted and t s crossed as far as code in Europe and elsewhere for the new product. Another delay of any kind will be a killer. I still can't comprehend why we weren't qualified in Germany for the Sunergy product as Germany has been 50% of the world market for solar. Perhaps someone has an answer. Did they not apply for certification in Germany. If not, why not? The new product will be but were they betting on Spain and Greece to buy up everything they were capable of producing? If so, they made a very costly error. I am glad to see them going after certification now for the major markets of the world. Good move.
Also by Q2, 2009 we anticipate having in Gen II a range of single phase products from 3kW – 6kW
qualified for all the major markets in the world; by the end of 2009 we anticipate having multiple three phase products to
20kW also qualified for all the major markets.
The way I read this, we won't have a viable new product to sell until at least early 2009-spring if the anticipation goes well with the Gen II. Production of the Sunergy has come to a standstill. They are hoping to have orders come in during 1st quarter of 2009 but if the GEN II has not been certified by that time, I foresee mucho problemos. This has happened in the past where SET was delayed almost a year due to awaiting certification. Hopefully this doesn't occur again. We have been painted a rosy picture many times only to have clouds block it out. I can't see any near future announcements at this time until they have certification and approval. But then I have been wrong before and I may be missing something. Please tell me if I am. That light at the end of the tunnel is flickering.
Meanwhile, I am still hanging in, cautiously optimistic and hope having the patience of Jobe will one day be rewarded. I do note Loewen is still a believer.
