(*) Most sales occur pre "ready-to-build" with significant advance payments and subsequent payments subject to milestones. We recognize revenue when these milestones are met; (**) E.g. stand-alone solar PV in South Africa is unlikely to fetch premium prices. Prices for certain markets and projects may also be above this range; (***) A sustained fall in the prices of solar PV and batteries serve to improve or maintain the pricing power of developers with mature projects.
