THE LADWP FiT50: Going Solar with a World-Class Partnership August 2014
Executive summary LADWP has chosen SunEdison and PermaCity to develop solar installations on 4 mmsfof rooftops in the Los Angeles basin through the FiT50 Program. We are identifying and selecting sites on a first-come first-serve basis for this limited program and are looking to worth with both property owners and other solar developers. PermaCityand SunEdisonrepresent a world-class partnership, which combines local solar construction expertise and breakthrough installation technology with global leadership in solar financing and operations. Solar installations create additional cash flows to property owners, resulting in significant increases in property value at zero cost. Participation in the FiT50 has a significantly higher expected value for solar developers than the FiT100 PermaCity sbreakthrough patent-pending SolarStraptechnology is the only racking system that completely removes common concerns associated with rooftop solar installation due to the elimination of penetrations and bulky ballasts. 2

Why participate in the solar evolution Increase bottom line Improve your roof Produce clean energy Unlock additional cash flows for power generated on under-utilized rooftops Reduce HVAC costs (solar installations reduce indoor temperatures by up to 5 ) SolarStraptechnology strengthens existing infrastructure without penetrations or ballast Solar panels add a protective layer to your roof Solar panels generate green power from the planet s most reliable and safest energy source the sun Generate positive PR Tenants and consumers increasingly value environmentally-friendly and sustainable business practices 10
Is the FiT50 program right for you? Owner has low (e.g., house meter only) or no electricity bills to offset If owner pays electricity bills for property, then a net metering system is likely a more valuable option Ideal Property Characteristics Usable rooftop square footage of at least 50,000 sf per site Clean rooftops with minimal skylights, HVAC, etc. and minimal shading from billboards, trees, etc., Ability to encumber rooftop for 20 years 11
In exchange for access to your roof, PermaCity offers a variety of options that create value Annual lease payments Payments based on power sales generated by solar system; owner captures additional savings (e.g., HVAC electric reduction, decreased roof repair and maintenance) Upfront lump sum RoofReplacement NetMetering Solar Installation Energy Efficiency Upgrades Building Control Systems Equivalent to present value of cumulative lease payments New roof with 20-year NDLwarranty; reduce operating costsfrom avoided roof repairs Eliminate common area electric costs Reduce electric costs Reduce electric costs and utility demand charges Payments or equivalent products will increase property values. 12
Example: 7 MW system (1 mmsf) on large distribution center This property owner would receive a $210,000 annual lease payment or a $2.1mm upfront payment, as well as additional savings from reduced HVAC expenses. 13
Example: 1 MW installation on 120,000 sf cold storage facility This owner saved $300,000 on a new roof and will save $2mm over 25 years due to reduced roof maintenance, reduced HVAC expenses and lower power consumption as a result of lighting and building control upgrades. 14

Opportunity for developers PermaCity is looking to collaborate with other local solar developers to fulfill its 22 MWac obligation under the FiT50 program Unlike the FiT100 where project selection is subject to a lottery with a 20-30% chance of success, PermaCity will place projects on a first-come firstserve basis. We intend to pay a developer fee of at least 10c/Wdc, however, this number may increase or decrease depending on certain key variables, such as lease rate, yield, system size, etc. (i.e., the more valuable the project, the higher the developer fee). We are also open to working with developers on a full turnkey EPC basis. 16
