Excerpt from DuPont News, May 7, 2008
DuPont will soon begin construction on a research center in Hong Kong and a manufacturing facility in Shenzhen to support the rapidly growing photovoltaic (PV) solar energy industry in China. "Through investments in materials, technology development and manufacturing, DuPont is accelerating its ability to deliver innovations that will improve the lifetime and efficiency of photovoltaic modules, and also have enough production capability to help keep pace with the fast rising global demand," said Dave Miller , group vice president, DuPont Electronic & Communication Technologies. DuPont expects growth in the photovoltaic market to exceed 30 percent in each of the next several years. The company has made significant investments in product development and capacity expansions to help keep pace with the demand. Accelerating its capability to meet emerging materials requirements is critical for DuPont, which has long been a leading supplier of materials primarily serving the crystalline silicon (c-Si) cell and module markets. The expansions in Hong Kong and Shenzhen will provide new offerings to serve the amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film market. Thin film technology is well-suited for large-scale utility applications such as "solar farms" and industrial installations. The growth rate for thin film is projected to be approximately twice as high as demand for c-Si, and DuPont expects this increase to drive specifications for both new and existing products that serve the thin film industry. These include DuPont™ Butacite® PV sheet based on polyvinyl butyral (PVB), DuPont™ SentryGlas® PV sheet based on ionomer and DuPont™ Elvax® ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) that are offered as encapsulation materials for thin film modules. Significant further investment is planned for both a-Si and c-Si markets, including further capacity expansions for DuPont™ Tedlar® film and Solamet® thick film metallization paste. |

Excerpt from Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. SEC Filing dated September 12, 2006
Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. invents, designs, develops and commercializes materials, products and production processes for the alternative energy generation, energy storage and information technology markets. Our materials, products and production processes originate from the pioneering work of Mr. Stanford R. Ovshinsky, principal inventor and our President, Chief Scientist and Technologist, in materials science at the atomic (or nanostructure) level, principally amorphous and disordered materials. Based on this work, we have invented and developed materials that permit the design and commercialization of products such as thin-film solar ("photovoltaic" or "PV") modules, nickel metal hydride ("NiMH") batteries and phase-change memory devices. |

Excerpt from Evergreen Solar, Inc. SEC Filing dated February 9, 2007
We develop, manufacture and market solar power products enabled by our proprietary String Ribbon tm technology that provide reliable and environmentally clean electric power throughout the world. String Ribbon technology is an efficient process for manufacturing crystalline silicon wafers, which are the primary components of photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells generate direct current electricity when exposed to sunlight. We believe that our proprietary and patented technologies offer significant cost and manufacturing advantages over competing solar power technologies. Our revenues today are primarily derived from the sale of solar modules, which are assemblies of photovoltaic cells that have been electrically interconnected and laminated in a physically durable and weather-tight package. We sell our products using distributors, systems integrators and other value-added resellers, who often add value through system design by incorporating our modules with electronics, structures and wiring systems. Applications for our products include on-grid generation, in which supplemental electricity is provided to an electric utility grid, and off-grid generation for markets where access to conventional electric power is not economical or physically feasible. Our products are currently sold primarily in Europe and the United States. |

Excerpt from First Solar, Inc. SEC Filing dated March 16, 2007
We design and manufacture solar modules using a proprietary thin film semiconductor technology that has allowed us to reduce our average solar module manufacturing costs to among the lowest in the world. In 2006, our average manufacturing costs were $1.40 per watt, which we believe is significantly less than those of traditional crystalline silicon solar module manufacturers. By continuing to expand production and improve our technology and manufacturing process, we believe that we can further reduce our manufacturing costs per watt and improve our cost advantage over traditional crystalline silicon solar module manufacturers. We manufacture our solar modules on high-throughput production lines and perform all manufacturing steps ourselves in an automated, continuous process. Our solar modules employ a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. |
