A facility for the automatic growth of 60 cm long boules of Si up to 10 cm diameter is described. The facility is 21 ft tall, weighs 17,000 lb (without the sand ballast), and consumes 60 kW power. As a point of reference, the facility will cost approximately $500K without automation which will be developed. The total price is expected to be approximately $1.2 million.
