thanks floppy. i could not understand why everyone was talking 250 after the announced acquisition - so it was the same number from the q2 cc.

they should have enough to produce close to 250 mw of modules inhouse (assuming they can produce from the 225 2010 cell expansion). tnen purchase another 350 mw cell on the open market.

just out of interest, csiq mentioned that they will not make margins for q3, which means they will also not make the street estimates. why are so many members high on csiq? sol might have a crappy q3 but with sol, they have huge potential upside for 2010. if they make your 80 cents, then i will aggresively assume a 25 pe ratio leading to $20. makes for a very good year.
