If they sell the panels at $1/W as announced, they are aiming at a
$1B annual income, not too shabby :)

Yes, but that is just for one 1GW CIGS coater, which cost $1.65
million. On that basis, Nanosolar should be financially capable of
sustaining 10x to 100x per year growth rate - until resources, like
supplies, staff, land, or customers run out. The major impediments
to going all solar are bulk energy storage, i.e. large battery or
hydrogen generating systems, and low cost energy transmission systems.
