MEYER BURGER The high-margin residential and commercial rooftop segment, which Meyer Burger is focusing on, is growing at an above- average rate of +8% per year in the target markets until 2027 Meyer Burger Heterojunction/SmartWire has a 3-year technology advantage over standard technology, which is confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute Captive business model • The full value of Meyer Burger's technology advantage can be captured as the Heterojunction/SmartWire technology is not supplied to third parties anymore High, sustained profit levels can be achieved on the basis of a superior technology and the captive business model 3 Meyer Burger#4MEYER BURGER IS A TECHNOLOGY LEADER AND HAS SHAPED THE SOLAR INDUSTRY FOR YEARS . Meyer Burger... is the backbone of the PV industry and has been the industrialization partner for over 20 years of the world's leading PV companies when launching new technologies has equipped the leading manufacturers of solar modules with production equipment has so far delivered 350 production machines for the current standard, PERC, 1 for a total capacity of 55 GW, i.e., more than 50% of total global PERC production capacity Major milestones since 1953 1953 Foundation: production of machines for the watch industry 2008 Start Heterojunction development at Meyer Burger 2012 Market launch of PERC technology (today's standard) 2013 Start of the development of SmartWire (SWCT®) MEYER BURGER 2016 Launch of diamond wire saw DW288 Series 3 2018 Major contract for HJT/SWCT® equipment 2019 Proof of an industrial HJT/SWCT® production line. Presentation of a 510W bifacial module at Intersolar Munich 4 O Meyer Burger 1) "Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell"#5MEYER BURGER IS AGAIN DRIVING THE NEXT PV TECHNOLOGY GENERATION Meyer Burger's technology is far superior to PERC • Module-performance I Today Meyer Burger Heterojunction (MB HJT)1 Conventional technology (PERC)² 1) Including module SmartWire-Technology (SWCT®); 2) "Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell" MEYER BURGER . • • Fraunhofer ISE has confirmed in study: "Meyer Burger has a lead of 3 years in terms of module efficiency (i.e., cell efficiency and module losses) over manufacturers that produce classic solar modules" PERC is at the end of the technology life cycle, reaching limits performance improvement and thus cost reduction TOP Con is not yet ready for mass production and faces integration and cost problems Other HJT manufacturers are currently neither competitive with MB HJT and PERC nor market-ready 5 Meyer Burger#6KNOW-HOW AND MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE FOR CELL AND MODULE PRODUCTION ARE AVAILABLE MEYER BURGER MEYER BURGER Ideal timing for Meyer Burger to enter cell and module manufacturing, employing its superior MB HJT technology, because: 1. Heterojunction/SmartWire (SWCT®) technology is more efficient than both the current standard mono- PERC and other heterojunction technologies currently available 2. The current solution has been developed in Switzerland (Neuchâtel) since 2008 and has been brought to market maturity in the in-house pilot industrial plant in Germany (Hohenstein/Saxony) since 2016 3. With the successful installation of a 600 MW production line by Meyer Burger for a customer, the proof-of-concept in mass production is already provided 6 Meyer Burger#7INTEGRATED VALUE CHAIN: CAPTURE >15X MORE VALUE WITH CELL AND MODULE PRODUCTION MEYER BURGER HELL Equipment manufacturing Cell manufacturing Module manufacturing By forward-integrating along value chain, Meyer Burger can increase the value captured from its proprietary, leading technology >15x Solar modules: Achievable aggregate EBITDA on this equipment over a utilization period of 7 years1 HJT equipment: EBITDA for supply of 1 GW equipment EBITDA for a supply of 1 GW equipment (left) vs. production of 1 GW modules over 7 years (right) 1) 7-year utilization period and 9% discount factor 7 Meyer Burger#8THE CAPTIVE BUSINESS MODEL PROTECTS KNOW- HOW, TECHNOLOGY AND PROFITABILITY LONG-TERM MEYER BURGER MEYER BURGER डू New with own cell and module production Captive: no equipment to third parties . Technology and know-how remain exclusively with Meyer Burger (except Oxford PV and strategic R&D partners) Total value capture remains in the company. Further improvement on equipment will not be shared with third parties • The worldwide standard PV equipment and service business will be continued • Sale of cells to third-party module. manufacturers used in the first years to a) facilitate ramping in module sales and b) obtain economies of scale and purchasing power Modules Cells ୧ End markets Third-party module manufacturers Third parties E.g., wholesalers, large installers, IPPS, project developers Note: Without SWCT®, to keep efficiency advantage for Meyer Burger 8 Meyer Burger#9ENTRY INTO PV CELL AND MODULE PRODUCTION WITH CLEAR CAPACITY EXPANSION GOALS Cell and module production in Germany Production capacity [GW] 2021 - 2027 Module Cell 7.0 6.4 4.2 3.6 1.4 0.8 0.4 0.4 2021E 2023E 2025E 2027E Phase 1 2 3 Meyer Burger's goals: • • • • MEYER BURGER Become a European champion and global player for the production of high- efficiency cells and modules using Swiss technology, "Made in Germany" Sustainable superior R&D unit to further expand technological leadership Start with 400 MW to reach profit zone, then add 400 MW module plus 1 GW cells in next step Achieve an annual module production capacity of 5 GW by 2026 Support the EU Green Deal plan by establishing local PV production 9 Meyer Burger#10MODULE PERFORMANCE ENABLES LOWER LCOE FOR UTILITY CUSTOMERS AND PRICE PREMIUM FOR MB Utility segment - total system cost, example 100 MWp U.S. [EUR m] Benchmark system (PERC module) 0.31 Meyer Burger HJT/SWCT® system +0.08 EUR/Wp module ASP premium for Meyer Burger1 . 0.39 MEYER BURGER 81 75 2 10 39 Module 31 31 Components (BOS) 44 System cost 42 Benchmark Value pool Customer System cost share Meyer Burger provides considerable end-customer benefit, reducing LCOE through: 1.

Heterojunction/SmartWire technology is superior to the current standard, mono-PERC, as well as other currently available heterojunction technologies in terms of efficiency and energy yield. 2. Captive business model enables capturing full value from Meyer Burger's technological leadership and protects know-how 3. Premium products at relatively low manufacturing costs enable a unique positioning in the PV industry and sustained profitability of Meyer Burger 4. With the successful production ramp-up of the technology by a customer, the proof-of-concept in mass production has already been provided 5. Existing infrastructure and available skilled personnel should enable production and sales start in Q2/2021 6. The "Green Deal" and the European climate targets provide a tailwind for the re-establishment of the solar industry in Europe 22 O Meyer Burger#23MEYER BURGER
