2009, National Academy of Sciences Study Impact of fossil fuel on healthcare system:

$120B per year

Coal and Oil:– $60B each in health impacts– 30,100 premature deaths annually– Over 5,000,000 workdays lost

Not included: environmental damage from coal mining, pollution of rivers from coal plant

smokestacks to keep the air clean.

Energy uses more water than agriculture--more water than cities or ourselves.--Energy responsible for 50% of US water withdrawals

What we believe

Global scarcity in natural resources

Transformations have begun resource extraction, use and disposal (or re-use)

Investors are over-exposed to the risks with these trends, and under-exposed to the opportunities

Solutions to these risks represent “the largest wealth creation opportunity of our lifetime” 8

Climate Wealth Law

Due to continuous technology innovation ~50% of the greenhouse gas emissions will always be profitable to eliminate – held up only by lack of effective business model and financial innovation.

Solar PV: Why we are winning$100B business in 2013

• Passionate Industry

• Activated Local Advocates

• Know how to sell small systems – avg size in 2013 in USA is 33kW

• Policymakers can smell grid parity

20% of global electricity is now more cost effective with Solar PV

Capital: 9% returns

Regulation: Diversification;Reliability

Innovation: Distributed Solar PV

Market: Fast Rising Electricity Costs

Page 13: Creating climate wealth

40,000 MW additional projects by 2017- 1,000,000 projects average 50kW each- $100B investment, $1B in commissions- We are short sales and business development

Who actually invests in this stuff?We are on track for $5T by 2020 and now we need another $5T into climate wealth solutions to win.

Money is not coming from divestment or impact investing, it is coming from mainstream capital

Who holds the Money?Everyone is Focused here

Leadership has come from here

Everyone should be focused here

What about Impact Investing?

Criteria Range Target

Unlevered project* IRR 12%-20% 16%

Project duration 3 -15yrs 8 yrs

Return multiple 1.5x-3x 2.5x

Project size $0.5M-$10M $5M

Total deployment per company $1M-$25M $15M

Inflation protection none Energy index

1. Make an impact on a pressing problems2. Generate compelling risk adjusted returns for

investors3. Get people to follow you at $ Billion scale

Page 18: Creating climate wealth

What about Impact Investing?Performance Risk Mitigation

1. Maturity of technology At least 3 yrs of commercial deployment in one location

2. Transaction Costs Preference for products vs. engineering projects

3. Predictability of revenue Our revenue is predictable and not subject to merchant commodity risk without a credit backstop

4. Vendor viability Vendor can be replaced on both parts or maintenance

5. Vendor geography Focus on US and to a lesser degree EUCollection Risk Mitigation

6. End customer viability Aligned with investment period and return profile

7. Vendor credibility Reference checks and due diligence

8. Measurability of value Sensors, online access, clear reference case

9. End customer geography Price it in or hedge it out

10. Recovery in case of failure Portfolio risk, sometimes transferable product with ability to redeploy
