Magpower, S.A.Business Focus
Magpower is a full industry solar concentrator
solutions provider.
The compelling results we have achieved in more
then 5 years of research & development helped us
in reaching state-of-the-art technology in solar
power generation.
The Magpower Technology
Magpower patented technology allows generating energy
with a cost 50-60% of current PRC feed-in solar tariffs
and competitive with WIND !!!

Magpower, S.A.Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV)
� The fundamental distinction of Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) is the amount of solar energy that reachs the cell
� The cell used by CPV are able to handle much more energy with much more efficiency than silicon cells
Magpower’s Technology
Traditional silicon technology

CPV CellSolar Spectrum
� Multi-junction solar cells provide conversion of the solar spectrum with higher efficiency. Achievable efficiency of multi-junction cell is > 40%
12% to 19% efficiency 39% to 41% efficiency

Parameter Flat panel Magpower cell
• Solar concentration 1x 800x
• Solar watts / cm2 0.1w 80w
• Cell area / m2 10,000 cm2 12,5 cm2
• Cell efficiency 15% 39%
• DC watts / m2 150w 390w
• Cell cost $250 $100
• $ / DC watt $1.66 $0.25
Cell CostExample of cost simulation for 1 m2
� Concentrated cells with the cost of around 15% of price of standard silicon
� Competitive cost of Wp with concentrated systems is reached with well designed components and very aggressive manufacturing processes.

Solar Plant
Grid ParityExample of a Solar Plant in CHINA
Performance in practice
� Location: Western China (high level
of irradiance)
� Number of hours: 2.970 hours per
year
� Considering: investment amortization
in 25 years, operation & maintenance
costs, insurances, warranties for 25
years
The cost of energy is less than RMB 0,62 / kwh
Below the SDRC proposal for solar energy at RMB 1,09 /kwh and competitive with wind
current feed-in WIND tariffs in China !!!

� Product Warranties
� Maximum degradation of 7,5% in 25 years in cell efficiency
� Maximum degradation of 1% in 30 years in lens transmissibility
� 5 years warranty on manufacturing defects
� Certification & Qualifications
� IEC 62108 Full Compliant – Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and
assemblies qualification design
� CE Marking Approved
� UL 8703 – Standards Technical Concentrating Photovoltaic Modules and
Assemblies expected for June 2010
� TUV Safety Class II – Certificate for Quality and Safety, expected for April 2010
� Field Performance Insurance
� Magpower offers an insurance that covers 95% of the estimated energy
generation
