There it will go to a Shell refinery, then be channeled to two 500-MW facilities and a 1, 200-MW plant, which together will produce roughly a fifth of the country's projected electricity needs by that time.
The company expects wafer shipments of 1.8 to 2 GW, down from a previous forecast of 2.7-2.9 GW, and module shipments of 750-800 MW, down from 800-900 MW. For the year, the company now sees gross margin of 15%-20%, down from a previous forecast of 24%-29%.
The company said it now expects to report shipments of 430-440 MW, above previous guidance of 340-360 MW, and higher than the 355 MW shipped in Q3 and the 287 MW shipped in Q2.

However, torque then becomes a problem, requiring huge generators with heavy copper windings that may scale out in the 3-4 MW range.
Wind turbines get bigger and more efficient, with 3-4 MW turbines becoming commonplace, offshore turbines as large as 7 MWs in trials, and larger machines being considered (this is largely being driven by companies such as Vestas, GE and Siemens).
FORBES: Clean Energy Innovation: An Unstoppable and Volatile Force
The government recently reduced its estimate of the 2020 contribution from 1-2 gigawatts (GW) to 200-300 MW, and the committee says that should be looked at again, as several industry experts have said the new target can be met easily.
