Market Environment SALES MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Sales market development in MWp

Source: EPIA 2009, Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics until 2013

  • 2006 to 2008: Dynamic growth and high excess demand
  • 2009: Market slowdown and module oversupply lead to increased competition
  • 2010 onwards: Increased international diversification of market growth

Changes in German EEG foster international diversification of market growth.

Market Environment PROCUREMENT MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Procurement market development in US\$

Source: Barclays Capital estimates, April 2010 / September 2009 (only tier 1 solar panels considered)

  • Further but less aggressive price reductions expected for end of 2009 and 2010
  • At present, slightly increasing prices due to seasonal increase in demand

COLEXON strongly benefits from decreasing module prices on procurement market.

AGENDA

Key Events CURRENT IMPACT OF CHANGES IN GERMAN EEG

Key Events OUTLOOK OF IMPACT ON GERMAN SOLAR MARKET

German market is on its way to grid parity

  • Grid Parity: electricity from a PV system has the same cost as electricity bought from the grid.
  • Economics dependent on grid electricity price and its evolution over the plant running time.
  • Price of one kWh PV-electricity depends on various parameters, such as: interest, tax, etc.
  • EEG changes brought further pressure on the industry to reach grid parity. * excludes areas of arable land

Estimation for Germany (2011) PV costs: 18 - 28 ct./kWh Customer price: 10 - 25 ct./kWh

Grid parity for private customers partially reached PV costs will drive customer electricity prices
