STRONG SOLAR INDUSTRY FUNDAMENTALS

Decreasing costs Upstream investment in solar technology capacity is lowering system prices Wholesale module prices have fallen by approximately 50% in 24 months Government incentives—federal tax incentives and state rebates—are spurring consumption

Fragmented competition ≈60% of our market is serviced by small, sole-proprietorships in California Expansion markets are dominated by small firms

Expanding market Utility-provided power prices are high and increasing Global commodity demand and domestic renewable energy standards are increasing wholesale

prices Distributed solar power is a money-saving option for more consumers Solar is economical for approximately 3.5 million single family households in California

Creating opportunity Most solar integrators lack cost-effective customer acquisition and installation capabilities None have the economies of scale and scope to deliver solar to thousands of customers Without achieving effective operating leverage most competitors will shrink
