What do Analyst say they send a lot of time following a stock now that ECD has 4. What have they got to say.(Most are buys or recommended. The solar product is the best product out on market 1: because of Three junction solar (three light collecting layers) Paten technology. This allows collection of solar light at cloudy and dawn and dusk times. 2:Cost watt per dollar is the the low or lowest. Stan's roll to Roll machine comes to mine.3: Does not use a lot of silicon in production most other solar company's are paying a heavy cost. 4. The product is hail proof you can shoot bullets through and sill works also very light weight. ECD will double its production ability in October 2006. Planed plant turn over in May 2006. The battery division has been slow to get off ground.(1)GM has taken interest in Hybrid cars and looking to COBASYS to supply them as in Saturn. GM plans on making more hybrid cars in the future COBASYS has patents for USA production of NiMH batteries. COBASYS sells battery systems for cars not just batteries. (2)Has contracts with Canada company and military contracts. ECD partner has spent millions in building factories. ECD never made any claims to quick profits from battery company. Some where possible been inferred by analyst to be 2-3 years? (Can't remember source.) (3)Large stationary batteries are to be a large growth area. OUM, the Samsung announcement came with 2006 time of production of chips. The cats out of bag OUM will be considered by major chip companies around the world. Has patent position in OUM. Will collect royalties due. When I don't know but I don't believe Samsung is the only one. Mix Hydrogen and Cognitive computer coming in future and you got some reason for high expectation. ECD, has stated it looks for turn around to profits in 2007 year, Year starting in june 2006. The statement was made two years ago.

I worried before buying ENER that the company was perhaos to enthralled with its own technology, but I think article you posted overstates the negative. In particular, the dig that Ovonics amorphous silicon is less efficient than Crystalline Si is not substantial in my opinion. The raw efficency doesn't mean too much until we are limited by surface area. If Ovionics technology is, say, 10% less effiicient, then the area covered has to be 11% greater for the same output. The absolute size of the panels is limited by cost and weight. Only when an entire surface is given over completely to solar panels will the photovoltaic efficiency limit power output. Ashley

Herb's right... ECD is different this time because it has graduated to the big leagues attracting his partial truth (true but incomplete) damnation of this company. We await, with a needed bank of oxygen tanks, a worthy response from ECD to such a partial summary of our company... and I'm sure in vain. The founder has a disdain for such, therefore, hold no hope for a defense from ECD. Our corp course is charted by a genius with no concern for anything but the goals he has set for his creation and the paying passengers on his good ship are obliged to enjoy his charting wisdom.
