  1. Thin Film - High Temperature Performance Proven Energy Yield Advantage Over Crystalline Silicon All modules rated and labeled at STC Additional First Solar energy for same nameplate power *500kW side-by-side comparison, USA Desert Southwest climate

  2. Soiling and Cleaning Mani and Pallai, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 14 (2010) 3124-3131

  3. Soiling and Cleaning Cleaning Methods and Frequency are tailored to site specifics Frameless module gives better cleaning surface Dry-cleaning method • Typical expected annual soiling loss < 4% • Encourages water conservation • Provides confidence in Energy Predictions Various new solutions for automatic cleaning entering market Soiling Monitoring Station can help quantify site conditions

  4. Water Consumption – PV Advantage • Water ~ power demand

  5. Pilot Plants set Precedent for Utility Scale Design and Execution • UAE: Masdar City 10MW / DEWA 13MW • Saudi Arabia: KACARE program PV in the Middle East – 2013 Trends to Watch • Pricing decline flattens; Renewed focus on BOS Innovation and Quality • Balance Sheet Matters • Outdoor Rated Equipment • Behind-The-Fence Utility Design Philosophy • Lessons from Mature Markets will Transfer • LCOE to dominate: PV to gain share • Energy storage is rarely required • Unconventional applications • Water desalination / pumping • Offgrid / Microgrid / Hybrid PV Plants • Enhanced Oil Recovery
