Ann: GAS-TESS Pilot Project Update, page-4

With the state of power in SA at the moment this could be dragging on for over 12 months.
Could have been better but it's not the end.
My main concern is that the efficiencies won't be incorporated until the next unit is made.
Sounds a bit like there is not enough silcon stored to provide the heat required. Will this end up that you need much more silicon requiring more energy to get and keep molten?? Then if that is the case does this mean the footprint for the whole thing becomes too large??
These are only questions not a downramp of this tech!
