Due to be close margins currently associated with solar in general this will position them to have a bigger influence working to acquire the investment capital for the yieldco. So in the end the First Solar Sunpower yieldco will in my opinion be a stronger company than SunEdison. It will give the ability for Sun power and first solar to take control of the PV market on the efficiency side and on the thinfilm side globally. For those investors that are looking for the most stable and consistent return as an invester, the SP/FS yieldco will take in more funds giving it better sustainability against PV foreign and domestic with lower costs, better managability thereby effectively positioning it self for long term steady growth. This will weaken the value of the Sun Edison Terraform program in the utility scale pv projects. Thank you, Eddie Egger

Page 1: New yieldco

Any other thoughts,

I having been in the renewables industry over 16 years I have watched the rise and fall of several

companies. Sunpower/First Solar yieldco while some may look at it as an assets and liquidity play, it is

much bigger than that. This gives Sunpower and First Solar a market leverage across the board globally.

To a level that will rival the Asian and German PV production market. With the solid support of the

yieldco FS/SP will move forward with a slow but solid and continuous financial model for both

companies to be able to capitalise on becoming self sustaining businesses.(Maybe a merger) When Sun

Edison made the move to form Terraform,the model was to be a solar pv yieldco. We have seen that

change very quickly and Terraform grab investment capitol to take on global projects in multiple

forms. With FS/SP you will find that this YieldCo will provide a vessel for Sunpower to assist itself and

Total with what I what I feel is the ability to buy itself back from Total helping to balance Totals books a

little. Sunpower has a history of merging, buying or as with Total selling itself in order to balance growth

with uneven balance sheets but clearly the worlds leading technology. At the same time this will

eleminate the face off of FS and SP in the utility scale markets. Now the two companies can raise capital

together thereby offsetting the need to compete against each other.This will have a greater effect on Sun

Edison and Terraform due to lost investment capitol. With SunEdison and Terraforms acquisition of

Firstwind the upside down business venture behind it all will eventually have a negative impact on

diversifying the portfolio.While the efficiency of both the First Solar and Sunpower model will give the

yieldco the ability to raise more capital. Due to be close margins currently associated with solar in general

this will position them to have a bigger influence working to acquire the investment capital for the yieldco.

So in the end the First Solar Sunpower yieldco will in my opinion be a stronger company than SunEdison.

It will give the ability for Sun power and first solar to take control of the PV market on the efficiency side

and on the thinfilm side globally. For those investors that are looking for the most stable and consistent

return as an invester, the SP/FS yieldco will take in more funds giving it better sustainability against PV

foreign and domestic with lower costs, better managability thereby effectively positioning it self for long

term steady growth. This will weaken the value of the Sun Edison Terraform program in the utility scale

pv projects.
