  3. Why SCHOTT Solar? • Global Presence • Interesting • Suite of Products and Services • Top 2 in the world for receiver manufacturing • Technologically innovative • Zero Cadmium • Career opportunities • Family environment (2,300 employees) • USA manufacturing facility

  4. SCHOTT Solar’s Albuquerque, NM facility is the first in the US to produce receivers used in parabolic trough, utility-scale, concentrated solder power plants9CSP) The first in the world to produce both receivers and CSP along side PV modules 300 jobs created at the NM facility with an initial investment of over USD100 million at the 200,000 square-foot facility SCHOTT Solar Locations

  5. Highlights 51years of experience in solar technology 94.5%performance stability Minus0Watts output tolerance 2009World’s first production site for both PV Modules and utility scale CSP in Albuquerque, NM 25year warranty for its modules 5,000,000 m2of installed module surface Over300satellites equipped with solar modules 0g Cadmium 2xstringent in EC/UL standard

  6. Product OfferingBusiness Division • Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) • Parabolic trough technology • Develops, manufactures and markets highly efficient receivers • Produced in Spain and Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA) • Photovoltaics (PV) • Develops, manufactures and markets innovative and high quality PV with crystalline solar wafers, solar cells, solar electricity modules and Si-thin film modules • Produced in Czech Republic and Albuquerque, NM

  7. Giving Back to the Community • 2008:Hospital ward in Baila,Senegal • SCHOTT Solar installed a 5kW solar electric system for cooling medicine and operating medical devices • SCHOTT Solar made the electrical installation and brokered the government approvals • 2006: Light for Tanzania • A 30kW solar electric installation for the Benedictine monks in Kilimahewa • Prior station (5kW) also installed by SCHOTT Solar, was utilized for the hospital • New station supports water pumps, workshops, kindergarten, school and church. • SCHOTT Solar financed the entire project planning cost

  10. SCHOTT POLYTM • The SCHOTT POLY™ module is very suitable both for individual application and for large installations. The most important characteristics: • Outstandingly narrow output tolerance: -0%. When you receive a SCHOTT POLY 220, the module will be at least 220 watts • New PV Wire cables for high efficiency transformerless inverters • Modules are "bulk" packed to minimize jobsite waste and disposal costs • Tested to meet UL 1703 requirements, CSI listed • Outstanding high nominal output • Due to its 6-inch cells, the module's surface is used very efficiently • Available in 4 output classes: 210, 217, 220 and 225 watts

  11. Crystalline • Ingots are created from polycrystalline Silicon • Wafers are manufactured in Jena (Germany). Ingot blocks are sawn to 0.18mm thickness • Crystalline solar cells are produced in Alzenau (Germany) • Solar power modules are produced in Valasske Mezirici (Czech Republic) and Albuquerque (NM, USA) • Thin Films • Thin film technology used to produce solar cells from amorphous silicium at Jena and Putzbrunn (Germany)

  12. Receiver is manufactured in Albuquerque (NM, USA), Mitterteich (Germany) and Aznalcollar (Spain) • CSP technology converts sunlight to heat through parabolic trough power plants: using large rows of parabolic-shaped mirrors, the sun’s radiation is concentrated up to 80-fold on the receivers.
