Led by commercial systems IHS expects 700 megawatts of PV systems with energy storage will be installed in N.A. by 2018, compared to 30 MW in 2014.

If the inclusion of Exide in the most recent presentation is based on the 2003 MoU, well then I can only conclude that EFL is desperate, but I do not. As with most things time will tell.
