i think you won't get nothing back. and also if you buy inovation for 500 m2 store and when you upgrade it to 1000 m2, previous inovation won't get any impact and you will have to buy new parking inovation for 1000 m2 store

i installed solar batteries for my factory. now i want to increase the size of factory. will my innovations stay? or will it auto upgrade to the other solar batteries(saying-"Only for enterprises with size 2") and cost me the remaining.
if i people are going to lose every innovation when they change the factory size / store location/ store size then it will be very difficult, right?
can the game developers consider the option of transferring/upgrading the innovation to suit new needs?

also will there be any production in the factory during the construction period?

Upgrades do not affect production, it will continue at the same rate.

Innovations are only applicable to certain size buildings. Increasing the size will negate the benefits of an innovation but there is no automatic cancellation, the innovation support payments continue until you cancel it manually.
The trick is to only apply innovations if you plan to keep the factory at that size for a while.

I notice your factory is in Vietnam. Generally the cost of solar batteries will be higher than the savings in low cost areas, especially for the simpler factories.
Add the cost of innovation setup + (innovation support x updates) to see how much the innovation costs and check it against your (energy expenses x updates) in the enterprise financial report. You may find the innovation is more expensive in many cases.

thanks fractal for the in depth reply
i started game 20 days back and thought of leaving in the middle when i went into negative balance. but now i'm doing fine.
i bought all the innovations during the first two days, as they look promising. then i dont know that we can change size/locations.
so you said it wont be of any help and i have to cancel it manually. will it cost me the innovation cost per day till i cancel it?

Innovation support is payable each update the innovation is in effect.
It is not much compared to setup costs but it all helps at the start.

Weigh up the benefits against the costs before applying future innovations. The real results vary from huge savings/bonuses to higher costs depending on product, location, quality, etc.

I'm glad to see you stuck it out when things got tough. Many people put it in the "too hard" basket and give up far too easily.
