2 Company profile Bosch Solar Energy AG As Bosch Solar Energy AG, we are responsible for solar energy business operations in the Bosch Group. Together with our subsidiaries, we are a leading supplier of silicon and CIS-based photovoltaic products with a consistent focus on exceptional product quality. Company details Headquarter: Production locations: Products: Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany Arnstadt, Germany; Erfurt, Germany; Brandenburg/Havel, Germany; Prenzlau, Germany; Barcelona, Spain; Vénissieux, France cells, modules, mounting systems, solar power plants Executive management: Holger von Hebel (CEO), Jürgen Pressl (COO), Dr. Volker Nadenau (CTO), Peter Schneidewind (CSO)

3 In one hour, the sun sends to Earth as much energy as the entire world population consumes in one whole year. Holger von Hebel, CEO From small-scale plants for single family homes to finished large-scale photovoltaic projects, we offer high-quality solar cells and modules for photovoltaic power generation. With our high-efficiency crystalline and thin film products, we consciously focus on a sustainable, environmentally friendly type of silicon and CIS-based solar power generation. As a strong, globally active company in the photovoltaics sector, we contribute to environmental protection on a daily basis with our solar cells and modules and thus help to avoid producing carbon dioxide while generating energy. To ensure that photovoltaics accounts for a large share in a renewable, sustainable energy mix in the future and that it can compete against conventional forms of energy, we permanently improve efficiency in our cells and modules. Furthermore we work on reducing manufacturing costs and develop innovative solar cells and module concepts for the future. In doing so, we consistently focus on exceptional product quality. Our products meet the highest European quality standards. Our high-performance solar cells and modules enable us to offer excellent cost effectiveness for our partners and end clients. We offer a long-term, reliable partnership for the whole product lifecycle and beyond. It is our goal to extend technology leadership over the whole value chain.

6 Crystalline Solar Cells Bosch Solar Energy AG Exceptional product quality Our Bosch solar cells are subjected to a full reverse-current resistance test. Bosch solar cells feature a very low reverse current of less than 1.5 A at 12 V. Cell performance is also measured in compliance with IEC standards and and with regard to solar spectral irradiance distribution in compliance with IEC ed High annual yields Our monocrystalline cells guarantee a better performance in weak light than our competitors. High annual yields can thus be achieved, even at sub-optimal levels of sunlight. Stable performance rates In its solar cell manufacturing processes, Bosch uses high purity silicon, high quality ingots and wafers out of its own production. This enables us to achieve consistently high performance with our solar cells. General information Packaging: The smallest unit is a pack of 150, which is fully tested for performance and quality Suitable for the digital recording of incoming goods using a barcode system Production and quality control: Fully compliant with IEC and IEC Full reverse-current resistance testing Regular calibration to Fraunhofer ISE standards

13 Thin Film Solar Modules Bosch Solar Energy AG Quick and easy installation Our glass-glass thin-film modules can be very quickly installed onto their mounting system due to the ideally matched components, structural elements and substructure materials produced in-house at Bosch. Changes in temperature over the course of a year can cause mechanical deformation in framework systems. Using Bosch s innovative slide-in technology ensures such changes in shape no longer have a negative impact on our thin-film modules, in comparison to conventional clamping technology. Long-lasting high product quality We provide a five-year product warranty and twenty-five year performance warranty with our thin-film modules. The exceptional product quality is assured not only by reduced module performance tolerances of 0/+4.99 Wp, but also by a high mechanical load-carrying capacity of up to Pa provided by the heat-strengthened glass. We monitor and optimize our solar modules by measuring the current-voltage characteristic when contact bands are attached and after thin-film modules are completed. Good annual yields on a long-term basis As a result of their efficient performance in weak light, Bosch thin-film modules utilize sunlight all day long, even at dawn or dusk. They also feature a lower temperature coefficient in comparison to crystalline modules. General information Warranty terms: 5-year product warranty 25-year performance warranty (90 % up to 12 years, 80 % up to 25 years) Product certification in compliance with IEC and IEC Product certification in compliance with UL 1703 (USA & Canada-version) CEC-Listed (North America)
