  2. Agenda • Overview • Revolution of Clean Tech • Energy Generation Segment • Wind & Solar Energy • Companies • First Solar Inc. • Canadian Solar Inc. • ETF • Global Wind Energy Index Fund

  3. Clean Tech Industries Overview

  4. Revolution of Clean Tech • In the 1970s, clean tech was considered “alternative” • Environmentalism and lifestyle advocates • Too expensive & lack of political support “Clean technologies are designed to provide superior performance at a lower cost while creating significantly less waste than conventional offering – promises to be the next engine of economic growth.” – Ron Pernick Source: The Clean Tech Revolution by Ron Pernick

  5. Revolution of Clean Tech • Six reasons why it is prevalent today • Costs • Capital • Competition • Consumers, • Climate • China

  6. Key Industry Segments • Energy Generation • wind, solar, geothermal, etc. • Energy Storage • Fuel Cells, Advanced Batteries • Energy Infrastructure • Energy Efficiency • Transportation Source: Cleantech Group

  7. Industry Segments • Water & Wastewater • Air & Environment • Materials • Manufacturing/Industrial • Agriculture • Recycling & Waste Source: Cleantech Group

  8. Energy Generation Overview

  9. Energy Generation • Wind • Solar • Hydro/Marine • Biomass • Geothermal • Other

  23. Industry Development • Global renewable electricity installations have more than tripled from 2000-2009 • Renewable energy accounts for 21% of global electricity generation (including hydropower); 3.8% excluding hydropower • Wind and solar PV fastest growing; capacity grew 14x between 2000-2009 • In 2009, Germany led the world in cumulative solar PV installed capacity. The US leads in wind, geothermal, biofuels, and CSP

  24. Government Energy Subsidies • Industry reliant on government subsidies • Subsidies takes 4 main forms: • Direct Expenditures • Tax Expenditures • Research and Development • Targeted Programs & Indirect support(i.e.: Loans Guarantees programs by US Department of Agriculture)

  25. Feed-in Tariff • Industry benefited from introduction of feed-in tariff (FiT) • a policy mechanism designed to encourage the adoption of renewable energy • As a government mandate, utility companies pay the homeowners, business and organizations to generate their own electricity • First implemented in US in 1978 by president Jimmy Carter • As a reaction to 1970’s energy crisis • As of 2009, FiT enacted in 63 jurisdictions around the world • Denmark, Spain, and Germany

  30. How Do Wind Turbine Works

  31. Industry Development • US installed wind energy capacity increased almost 14x between 2000 and 2009 • US wind experienced record growth in 2009 and nearly 10 GW of new capacity was added • Texas led the United States in wind installations in 2009, installing more than 2,292 MW of wind capacity • In 2009, average price of wind power was about $0.40 per kilowatt hour — a price that competes with fossil fuel-generated electricity • In 2009, China surpassed US as the world leader in annual installed wind capacity, with more than 13.8 GW added.

  37. Solar Energy Industry Overview

  38. Solar Energy Technology • Solar Thermal • Uses energy from the sun to heat water & buildings or generate electricity • Photovoltaic (PV) Systems • Conversion of sunlight directly into electricity • PV solar panels • Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) The solar furnace at Odeillo France PV CSP

  39. Industry Development • Solar energy electricity generation has nearly 4x between 2000 and 2009, but still represents a very small part of overall U.S. electricity generation. • Countries with aggressive solar policies—such as Germany, Spain, and Japan— lead the world in solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment. • China is the market leader with nearly 40% of the global PV cell production. • A number of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants came online in 2009, including 12 MW in the United States and 120 MW in Spain.

  40. *Estimates Industry Performance • $57.98 billion in revenues in 2010* • Annual growth of 4.7% 2005 • Higher levels of electricity generation and higher price Source: IBIS World
