Agenda • Who are we? XSUNX • Why am I here? Solar Energy • What’s new? Flexible TFPV • Why XSUNX? Core Technology Providers • What do we do? License Technology • Conclusion
Who are we? An Introduction Stock symbol: XSNX (OTC) • Market Category: Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) • XSUNX intends to be a core technology provider for OEMs in flexible Thin-Film Photovoltaics (TFPV) designs and manufacturing processes. • Innovative TFPV solar technologies that provide diversity in use applications, lower productions costs, and scalable manufacturing technologies.
Solar Industry Roadmap • The U.S. photovoltaics industry including the U.S. Department of Energy have established a road map goal that provides for half of all new U.S. electricity generation to come from solar by 2025. • The robust market development of installed solar electric systems in the U.S. is anticipated to grow substantially from less than 0.4 GW in 2003 to 200GW by 2030. • For an approximate comparison that would equate to the same amount of new electrical production as 40 new large nuclear facilities.
Photovoltaic Energy: It’s real. It’s here. It’s working • Electricity Demand • World Competition for scarce resources – India and China • Rates increasing - Demand outstripping Supply • New Power Plants - NIMB (Not In My Backyard) • Traditional Photovoltaic • Clean Renewable Energy • Long-term cost stability • Bulky, heavy, niche markets, expensive, “off-grid” solutions • Next Generation: Flexible Thin Film Photovoltaic • It’s real. It’s here. It’s working! • Extensive BIPV applications providing rapid ROI • Light weight, cost competitive, both “Off-grid” as well as “On-grid”
A New Approach To The Use Of Solar Technology • Thin-Film PV integrates with the previously under utilized, or simply unused, portions of a buildings structure in the form of PV films applied to building materials. • This form of power generation technology is called Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). • Innovative technology enables every building to be a virtual power plant by utilizing the power of the sun, through the skin of the building.
What’s new? Power Glass™ • XsunX Power Glass™ represents a new breed of solar cell design balancing solar cell efficiencies and manufacturing costs with broad applications and uses. • Provides production efficiencies delivering TFPV at approximately $2 per watt under small manufacturing conditions of only 4 MW of annual production. • Semi-transparency makes Power Glass™ glazing desirable for placing over glass. • TFPV uses only .2 microns of a-Si
Nano-Crystalline 4-T Thin Film • Currently under development, Nano-Crystalline represents a future enhancement to the new breed of solar cell design extending Power Glass™ to a 4-T device. • Thin opaque TFPV that create light weight, flexible solar cells with potential conversion rates of (12%>) that may provide production efficiencies significantly below $2 per watt under only limited production capacities. • Targeted for both BIPV and other non-BIPV • R&D phase – release scheduled for 2007/08 • Uses a innovative solution to scarce silicon
Patented (US patent #6,258,408B1) Cassette transported from one process chamber to another via a robotic handler. Cassette houses the flexible material (like a film cartridge in a camera). Cassette Reel to reel Reel to Reel cluster tool approach - separate chambers (modular) - cross contamination eliminated, - high performance devices - redundant chambers (increased uptime).
Growth Plan • Multi-phase plan to license both thin-film designs and turn-key multi-megawatt production systems nationally and internationally. • Power Glass™ • 2006: Market turn-key multi-megawatt process lines • Nano-Crystalline 4-T Device: • 2006: Verify and Validate processes • 2007: Market turn-key multi-megawatt process lines
Licensing Process • Sign a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) • Conduct Preliminary Due Diligence • Sign a Letter-of-Intent (LOI) • Conduct Secondary Due Diligence • Sign License and/or Manufacturing agreement • Production Systems Delivered
Conclusion • Flexible Thin Film Photovoltaic • Clean energy. It’s real. It’s here. It’s working! • Demand is outstripping Supply • XSUNX intends to become the core technology provider for OEMs in Flexible TFPV processes and manufacturing. • XSUNX has the technology, business model, processes and manufacturing units for success in this emerging market
