But when you open a new factory, you are banking on the equipment to work for you for more than just a year before you have to make any big capital investments there. If you need to lay off 2/3 of your workforce to make capital equipment changes, then the changes are pretty significant. Then the question is: why do you need to do it so soon and for how much? If you don’t actually need to make big equipment changes, then the question remains: why do you need to lay off 2/3 of your workers? No matter what, all these changes affect a company’s financial health one way or the other.

I don’t think it tells you much about the health of Amonix or the solar industry.

An Engineering feat of Power Engineering and a massive employment push for engineers, this project may end up re-employing and retraining the very same people laid off from CLARO who have expertise in installation and setting up Microwave Antennas and Generator Installation!!! check out my article on this electrifying new!!!!
