Why Energy Independence Why Energy Independence MattersMatters

• Security – Free markets cannot be dependent on potentially hostile states for energy

• Supply – Fossil fuels are finite, while renewable sources can meet global energy needs forever

• Environment – Both the production and use of fossil fuels cause irreparable damage to the environment

• Economy – Variable and unpredictable costs of fossil fuels are a dangerous economic wild-card

SUNV SUNV SubstrateSubstrate Advantage –Advantage –Overview Overview

Substrate costs represent over 60% of Solar System material costs

• High Cost: $6.00/cm², <.90/W• Complex growth process: GaAs is

highly toxic, raising complexity and safety costs associated with crystal growth process

• Limited time to market advantage: Cumulative shipments are only 4MW

• Low Cost : $.13/cm², <.40/W• Simplified growth process: Elimination of

safety costs associated with highly toxic As materials

• SUNV / EPIR vertical integration: Simplified post interconnect and test, resulting in reduced costs and increased time to market

directly strikes panels made of expensive glass and semiconductor materials

•The global demand for semiconductor materials has driven costs up.

•Large glass panels are expensive to manufacture, transport and install…and require a lot of land to deploy

• SUNV CPV Systems use less semiconducter materials, are cheaper to transport and install, and require much less land to deploy CPV (Concentrator PV)

Achieving Grid ParityAchieving Grid Parity

•Grid Parity is the point at which the net cost of photovoltaic electricity is equal to or cheaper than conventional grid power

•With lower materials costs (CdTe/Si), lower manufacturing, deployment and maintenance costs (CPV), and less demand for land, SUNV is on track to achieve Grid Parity before its competition…by 2012

2012 Competitive Energy Cost 2012 Competitive Energy Cost Estimates Estimates System Installed Cost (cents/kWhr) Estimates

PV system and land use drives cost to .30 cents per kWhr …a long way from Grid Parity

CPV system and efficiency reduces cost, but expensive substrate precludes Grid Parity

SUNV Solar achieves Grid Parity, led by lower substrate costs based on CdTe II-VI paradigm shift + greater CPV-led system efficiency
