...1) strong growth in quarterly shipment volumes beginning in the third quarter, driven especially by good visibility in China 2) opportunities for cost reduction due to increased efficiency and improved utilization for our ingot and wafer manufacturing lines, 3) the introduction of new four busbar cell technology, 4) reduced processing costs from decreased use of raw materials 5) increased automation of our production lines and 6) the addition of new cell and module lines. Module manufacturers continue to compete intensely on price and we expect to continue to see decreasing average selling prices near term that make gross margin expansion challenging in the near term."
