Brief Capabilities Presentation

Photovoltaic Applications Are Driving Electrification Advances in materials and next-generation technologies are enabling PV across a range of applications " Solar Farms Many acres of PV panels can provide utility-scale power-from tens of megawatts to more than a gigawatt of electricity. These large systems, using fixed or sun-tracking panels, feed power into municipal or regional grids at low cost. Power in Space From the beginning, PV has been a primary power source for Earth-orbiting satellites. High-efficiency PV has supplied power for ventures such as the International Space Station and surface rovers on the Moon and Mars, and it will continue to be an integral part of space and planetary exploration. Remote Locations & Stand-Alone Power ■ In urban or remote areas, PV can power stand- alone devices, tools, and meters. PV can meet the need for electricity for charging stations, parking meters, temporary traffic signs, emergency phones, radio transmitters, water irrigation pumps, stream- flow gauges, remote guard posts, lighting for roadways, and more. Multi-Family & Single-Family Homes PV panels mounted on roofs or ground can supply electricity in buildings. PV material can also be integrated into a building's structure as windows, roof tiles, or cladding to serve a dual purpose. In addition, awnings and parking structures can be covered with PV to provide shading and power. Defense & Industrial Lightweight, flexible thin-film PV can serve applications in which portability or ruggedness are critical. Soldiers can carry lightweight PV for charging electronic equipment in the field or at remote bases. PV can also serve mining and other remote industrial applications. Transportation PV can provide direct charging power for vehicles such as cars and boats. Automobile sunroofs can include PV for onboard power needs or trickle- charging batteries. Lightweight PV can also conform to the shape of airplane wings to help power high-altitude aircraft. Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Page 5 PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL HELIENE
