From here. For tomorrow. 1) Compared to currently standard PERC modules offered in market; 2) Maximum figures per data sheet, actually produced and delivered efficiency may be lower; 3) Actual performance depends on application scenario, mode of installation, environmental conditions and other factors; 4) As evidenced by, inter alia: confirmed by Fraunhofer ISE to cause less CO2 emissions per kWh produced compared to conventional standard modules (based on lifecycle assessment); received environmental protection grant from Germany state of Saxony- Anhalt based on environmentally friendly production characteristics; polysilicon in wafers used coming from European manufacturers Wacker, among others; code of conduct for suppliers with respect to environmental and social standards, human rights ☑ MEYER BURGER Strong arguments to buy Meyer Burger module: 4 High performance: Higher efficiency 1 (up to 21.8%), more energy per area 1, 3 High quality: Low degradation and long lifetime (>92% warranty after 25 years) Appealing aesthetics: Almost uniform black appearance "Made in Germany": Cells and modules produced in Germany Swiss innovation: Proprietary next- generation PV technology platform Relatable corporate "story": Strong media presence and credibility Sustainability: High social, environmental standards.4 Module free of toxic lead 11#12Innovation as a driver - Meyer Burger's solar roof tiles Meyer Burger sees great growth potential in the market for integrated solar roof tiles • • • • At the Intersolar trade fair in October 2021, the preview of our envisaged solar roof tile product was a crowd magnet Expansion of existing module portfolio planned with a roof- integrated high-performance solar system that can be installed easily just like traditional roof tiles Meyer Burger expects to be able to increase the overall demand for solar roof tiles with this highly innovative product and to strengthen the company's sustainable business development Solar roof tiles already been certified according to IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, further roofing standard testing passed (e.g., wind/rain test) First pilot installation and first distribution agreement achieved in Q4 2022, first volume sales planned in H2/2023 MEYER BURGER 12#13The next-generation heterojunction technology in the works according to our communicated R&D roadmap Full-size interdigitated back contact HJT 60 cell module prototype Development on track: . • • Phase I: Today's technology, power classes available, best cell efficiencies >25% in mass production. Phase II: HJT-IBC, currently in pilot testing at Meyer Burger Research in Neuchâtel, use in production targeted from 2025 onwards ● • • In-house development of equipment for production of next- generation cells and modules based on HJT technology Increased performance, continuous cost reduction leading Ultra-low degradation Commercial module efficiency of >23% expected in mass manufacturing Phase III: HJT+Perovskite tandem in development with research partners CSEM, Fraunhofer ISE, HZB Berlin, University of Stuttgart MEYER BURGER 13#14Meyer Burger aims to drive the solar module product evolution in utility segment from 2024 Planned product features: • • • Standard utility sizes based on 72 M10 • (182 x 182 mm2) solar cells. Specific new features driving expected performance: glass-glass product combining >90% bifaciality and white module front-side STC-rated power of up to 575 W Extended warranties; certifications for bankability MEYER BURGER ☑MEYER BURGER 14#15New unified product platform delivers value for customers and Meyer Burger - glass is the "ultimate backsheet" New unified product platform from 2024 . Customer advantages – increasing value - • All products to be built with glass as backsheet • Back side can be colored (white, black) or kept transparent ● Same module technology for residential and utility module MEYER BURGER . Lower degradation, better longevity and longer warranty compared to glass/foil backsheet products • • • • Unified product dimensions – white, black and bifacial variants can be seamlessly swapped Lower weight than current glass/glass product, similar to glass/foil product Higher system voltage (1,500 V) Meyer Burger advantages - reducing cost/complexity • . Less product variations reduce overhead and complexity in production, procurement, logistics and engineering Higher production throughput after line optimization Even more coherent strategic positioning as "quality leader" 15#16Industry policy announcements and potential financial support for solar industry relaunch in the European Union TCTF MATCHING CLAUSE (effective) With the TCTF, the European Commission has lifted some state aid restrictions Matching clause under the TCTF makes CAPEX/OPEX support for up to 100% of an investment possible (Nr. 86) Prerequisite: Aid offered by other third country (e.g., through U.S. Inflation Reduction Act) Project must meet a range of conditions (location etc.). The TCTF only provides the state aid framework, Member States need to set up the necessary schemes All funding under the matching clause needs individual state aid notification and approval from the European Commission European Commission ■ NZI-A PREMIUM (in EU Parliament & Council now) " The Net Zero Industry Act (NZI-A) is a regulation proposed by the European Commission. European Parliament and Council still need to approve. Adjustments possible, approval is likely by end of 2023 NZI-A would offer additional support with a Net Zero Resilience Premium (Article 21) and through advantages in renewable energy auctions (Art. 19+20) Member states would be required to establish premium funding for sustainable & resilient products for end consumers: 5% extra on prices that end customer pay for „net-zero resilience" modules Member states would be required to adjust auction results according to net-zero resilience criteria Parts of premiums would then be expected to trickle down to the manufacturer Securing a share of the premium through pricing will be key to additional OPEX support MEYER BURGER 16#17. Outlook 2023 • Ongoing expansion projects in Germany and the U.S., with increased target to achieve approximately 3.4 GW nameplate capacity by end of 2024 Targets for 2023: ~800 MW production Fast track addition of further capacities depending on industry policy implementation in Europe and the U.S. MEYER BURGER 17#18☑ MEYER BURGER With the right energy, anything is possible.
