  1. Encouraging Green Power: Cooperation between the Private Sector and GovernmentAvi Brenmiller, May 21 2008

  2. Load Wind * Solar ** % of power generated vs. capacity What is Solar Thermal Power? • Free and secure resource, widely available and highly predictable • Uses reflectors to concentrate sun’s energy and create heat • Uniquely suited for answering peak demands

  3. Who is Solel? • Game-changing, massive scale solutions • Clean & renewable solar “fuel” for power plants • One-stop solution • Only commercially proven electricity-producing solar thermal technology: California SEGS • Over 300 employees – world’s largest solar thermal company • Building power plants in Spain and US • Over $450 million in backlog in 2008 • Ongoing major investments in R&D and production capacity

  4. Obstacles to solar projects (and not just in Israel) • Lack of any clear regulatory framework to govern the basic transactions • Not clear how to acquire land to build a power plant • Who would sell the electricity and who would purchase it • With which entity would a potential private supplier of electricity sign a contract • Need to be competitive from Day 1

  5. Encouraging Green Power :Spanish Example • Direct subsidy though end user’s bill, sector by sector • Government revenue guarantees to producers (feed-in tariffs protected by law – average of 0.30 € KWh up to 34.5 € KWh) • Local authorities support local production with grants in range of 30% with no tax on project revenues • Commoditization ofproject financing process: package can be 90% debt/ 10% equity • Commercial debt packages – up to 18 or 20 years • Grid connection streamlined and divided between three agencies: production, delivery, and grid management

  6. Solel Solution: Utility Scale Solar Fuel KJC Solar Plant in Mojave Desert with parabolic trough

  7. The SEGS Solar Fields: Mojave Desert • Producing 350 MW of clean, renewable electricity • Supplying the needs of half a million consumers • Eliminating the need for two million barrels of oil a year Solel’s technology commercially proven for over twenty years

  8. Solel recently re-supplied all of the plants’ solar receivers, upgrading output by up to 30%

  9. Solel’s SunField 6: Built-In Solar Fuel Elements of a Solar Power Plant • Solar Field • Power Block • HTF System • Balance of plant • Civil works

  10. Solel offer to Governments and Utilities • Change the rules of the energy equation: Solel to partner with governments, utilities, and local engineering & construction companies to build solar powered power plants • Solel offers an independent source of energy to every country with an independent source of sunshine • Plug in Solel’s clean solar field into the power plant model – no emissions • Solel’s fully engineered solar field packages fuel local job creation and economic growth

  11. Solar Collector Assembly (SCA)Building block of the SunField 6 Solar Field • Solel’s Solel 6 parabolic trough • Each SCA: 224 reflector panels • Each SCA: 24 UVAC 2008 receivers • Local Controller (LOC) system with hydraulic drive to track the sun

  12. Solel’s UVAC 2008 Vacuum Collector • Unique Selective and Anti Reflective Coatings • 30% More Yearly Thermal Output • Highest Solar Radiation Absorption • Operates at Temperatures Up To 400°c (750°f) • Patented Radiation Shield System • Patented Vacuum Maintenance Unit

  13. Solel Solution: On-Site Power Plant operating at Solel Headquarters, compact parabolic trough located on top of car park, power block in middle front.

  14. Solel Solution: Industrial Cooling and Heating Collectors supply hot water at 100º C, enabling operation of absorption cooling machines Industrial cooling and heating system installed in Trento, Italy

  15. Solar Industrial Water Heating:Applications • Industries • Large residential • Hotels & resorts • Swimming pools • Hospitals FACT: About 50% of utility-produced electricity is used for heating and cooling

  16. Large Scale Water Heating - Spain

  17. Air Conditioning (Toyama Japan)

  18. Pool Heating
