Yes, it does. So first of all, let me just begin saying we're really comfortable with the quality of our order book at this point, record order book of $2.2 billion and the real positive book-to-bill on both Array and APA both being at 2x book-to-bill. So very, very significant for us and that acceleration. A couple of tidbits I'd give you relative to the order book. For me, one of the more interesting tidbits would be, for example, in 2025, we received 4 gigawatts of orders from customers that historically were not customers of Array, meaning they were customers of our competitors, or new customers in the space. So clear market share gain from just those 4 gigawatts already. I think relative to our order book the one other comment is, on our last call there was some confusion of whether our increasing order book even in that quarter was due to a changing definition. I want to take this opportunity with everyone on the call to reiterate that we have not made any changes to our order book and how we define that order book. And I'll reiterate that every chance I get that: one, we have to have a confirmation of a named project awarded to Array; Number two, we have to have a target start date; And number three, we look for there to be an existing PPA in place prior to putting that into our order book. Now what we have talked about with some of our international orders that have been awarded to Array, so meaning we have a named project, we have a target start date, we've been notified that we've won the project. We're still holding some on the sideline until we're more confident in international markets that they will proceed as planned. And we're doing that as we've talked historically to reduce any debookings and associated volatility. As we noted in our presentation now, 95% of the order book with that new methodology is now domestic, so much higher quality. In terms of -- we've also made in my prepared remarks that over 50% of our order book is now direct to what we call those Tier 1 customers. And to be clear, when I say direct, meaning that's the one directing the purchase, even if we get a purchase order from an EPC, we're saying that over 50% of the order book is being now directed by those Tier 1s. And that could be a Tier 1 developer who is -- who has given the award to Array, but we're executing that award through their chosen EPC, but over 50% of our order book is now direct to those Tier 1s. So between the high percentage of domestic order book, the new market share takeaway, the 2x book-to-bill, the over 50% direct to what we call Tier 1, we're really pleased with the shape of the order book as we move forward here.
