1 Concentrated PhotoVoltaic Technology - CPV MAGPOWER 2º Congresso de Engenheiros de Língua Portuguesa November Venetian Hotel, Macau

2 Manufacturing Layout & Equipment MAGPOWER is an European company that developed, industrialized and manufactures the 3 rd generation of Photovoltaics, designated as Concentrated Photovoltaics Technology. The compelling results we have achieved in more then 9 years of research & development helped us in reaching stateof-the-art technology in solar power generation. MAGPOWER patented technology, MagSun, allows generating energy at the lowest cost of solar technologies!!!

3 How CPV Works? 800X Traditional silicon technology Magpower s Technology The main advantage of Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) is the amount of solar energy that reaches the cell The cells used are able to handle much more energy and efficiency than silicon cells.

4 High Performance CPV Cells Silicon Cell Performance CPV Cell Preformance 12% to 19% efficiency 39% to 41% efficiency Multi-junction solar cells provide solar spectrum conversion with higher efficiency. Achievable efficiency of multi-junction cell is > 40%.

5 Technology Leadership Top-notch efficiency MAGPOWER technology ranks high in laboratory efficiency results as it is based on the leading multi-junction cell manufacturer Spectrolab (Boeing Group) and.. Magpower Cells Source: NREL National Renewable Energy Laboratories

6 Energy Generation CPV versus PV

7 CPV is best for remote high insulation areas Regions with very high DNI (above 2500 kw/m2): North China, North Africa, South Africa, Golf Region, California, Chile, Australia

8 Performance in practice in China Location: Western China (high level of irradiance) Number of hours: hours per year Considering: investment amortization in 25 years, operation & maintenance costs, insurances, warranties for 25 years Solar Plant The cost of energy is less than RMB 0,58 / kwh

9 BRIEF COMPANY PRESENTATION

10 Magpower Leading the way in CPV Top-5 CPV player globally Started R&D in 2002 HQ s in Portugal Over 90 staff 6 years of proven, very successful in-the-field track record 15MW already installed ~5% global market share Best positioned to win LCoE below competition, and further tech & cost evolutions already defined Proprietary tech in almost all key system components & plant machines Very strong project pipeline, profitability already achieved Page 10

11 Magpower Industrial Plant in Portugal Production capacity of 25M to be upgraded do 54Mw The main site is based in Lisbon: Factory with m 2 Holding, R&D Center, Modules and Tracker Manufacturing High Automation Level Modules and Trackers Manufactured Internally Anually Capacity of 54 MW (soon) R&D main labs Cleanning Rooms of 400 m 2 Magpower s MagSun system 1.
