> Two key features differentiating Meyer Burger's technology from mainstream HJT competition
35% lower cell production cost and overall ~20% cost advantage
~50W higher output per module (10 power classes) enabling higher ASPS
> Reasons for significant cell cost advantage:
Proprietary SWCT® enables significantly lower silver paste consumption
MBT has collected significant know-how compared to competitors, allowing MBT to have
higher production yield and to use larger wafers (M6 versus competitors' M2)
MBT's operational excellence, developed through its own HJT pilot line, leads to lower
use of consumables, lower unscheduled down times and more efficient line utilization
Note: Wafer cost for HJT competition updated to April 2020; 1) In selected markets also used in utility segment

COGS are for market-ready HJT/SWCT® technology of Meyer Burger (see 'Phase I' in R&D roadmap)
based in Germany
› COGS reductions are based on wafer price reduction, cell and module BOM reduction, improved
processing on e.g., silver consumption due to economies of scale, utilization of next generation cell
equipment and improved local supply chain
