4 Preface Dear clients, business partners and friends of Gehrlicher, Back in 1994, we not only believed there would be a turning point in the production of solar energy but also actively took first steps towards its realization. This conviction and strategy has proven to stand the test of time. In those days, I myself mounted these early solar systems, convinced that solar energy would, at some stage, be used extensively, and thus be able to greatly reduce CO 2 emissions. I am happy about every roof equipped with a photovoltaic system and will always continue to commit myself to propagating its use. We would like renewable energies to achieve rapid success on a worldwide basis. In order to do so, we not only plan, construct and finance roof systems and major ground-mounted installation projects but also provide service and maintenance. In particular, the large-scale solar systems help us transform synergies and multiplier effects into products that are constantly dropping in price. With its innovative ideas, our inhouse research and development department provides solutions for all types of challenges and strives, at all times, to offer the best possible option especially in terms of costs. The worldwide potential for producing electricity from solar energy is still entirely unexploited. Thus, I am glad about every further milestone we achieve in our quest to change the world. With this in mind, let us take on this task together. Yours sincerely, Klaus Gehrlicher (Founder, Gehrlicher Solar AG) 4

7 About Photovoltaics What is Photovoltaics? The term photovoltaics can be traced back to phos (Greek: light) and volt (unit for electrical potential). Photovoltaics is therefore the direct conversion of solar radiation into electrical energy using solar cells. Originally intended for supplying orbital satellites with energy, PV is now advancing worldwide. Annually, 1.5 x kwh of solar energy contacts the earth in the form of light and heat. This is 15,000 times the total primary energy consumption of mankind. Photovoltaic effect: ELECTRICITY FROM LIGHT When light contacts a solar cell, electrons are stimulated to move and electrical voltage is induced between the side facing the light and the side turned away from the light. If the circuit is closed, electrical current flows. ➀ PV Generator ➁ Generator connection box ➂ Direct current wiring ➃ DC main switch ➄ Inverter ➅ Alternating current wiring ➆ Electricity meter Photovoltaics: A Branch with a Future Solar electricity is a modern method of electricity generation: renewable and economical plus environmentally friendly and clean. Feed-in of solar-generated electricity into the public grid doesn t produce any emissions and is therefore an excellent investment in the environment. In addition, it s possible to produce very exact forecasts of the expected yields. Thereby, the risk of the investment in a PV system is reduced. The German Renewable Energy Law (EEG) provides planning security and attractive returns due to the feed-in tariff guaranteed for 20 years. Photovoltaics will play an even more important part in the future energy mix. Across the world, prices are increasing for oil, gas and coal. The reason for this is the increasing scarcity of these resources, the insecure political situation in the production areas in the Middle East, in South America and Russia as well as the drastically expanding energy consumption of economically rising countries in Eastern Europe and Asia. The cost-effectiveness of renewable energy sources, on the other hand, is increasing. They will, in the long-term, have a good chance of prevailing on the energy market.

The company also manufactures solar inverters and monitoring software. With SolarEdge optimizing systems, MPPT and voltage are regulated for each individual module. This allows for low complexity and high reliability of SolarEdge inverters in comparison with conventional devices. Monitoring is available at either the module level or the string level. The former is done by the PowerBox, which maximizes the energy yield of each individual module with constant MPP tracking. With stable string voltage, optimal inverter efficiency is reached. String monitoring is a great solution for ground-mounted PV systems. Here, neither PowerBoxes nor additional cables are required. Instead, the string data are transmitted via the existing PV electricity cable to the switch box of the string group and from there sent by radio to a central data storage location and through the internet to a server. String monitoring allows for optimal system operation with precision fault detection. 31

32 POWER HARVESTING system Overview The SolarEdge system is made of three main elements: SolarEdge Powerbox: The SolarEdge Powerbox, integrated into each module, replaces conventional distributor boxes. The Powerbox optimizes the energy yield and allows for determining output of each module. In addition, the Powerbox automatically provides for constant string voltage. SolarEdge Inverters: The SolarEdge inverter is a central inverter with high reliability. Since MPPT and voltage are regulated for each individual module, the sole function of the inverter is transformation from DC to AC. The constant string voltage ensures an always optimal efficiency that isn't dependent on temperature and string length. SolarEdge Monitoring Portal: An internet program allows for monitoring on the level of modules, strings and systems. SolarEdge Monitoring can be used in combination with the Powerbox or by itself for monitoring solar systems. Advantages of the SolarEdge System: Easy, secure and faultless system development and installation Output increase by up to 25% Lower labor cost and less cost for cables, diodes, fuses and other parts Modern maintenance and monitoring on the module level Excellent theft protection Unique safety for installers and firemen Outstanding reliability More Effectivity with SolarEdge: Ideal for installers of systems for residential and commercial buildings as well as large solar parks. Easy installation - Contemporary installing methods with all additional SolarEdge advantages Immediate system check for quicker startup. Scalable system - Additional modules can be added simply and without any problems Solution with all-around safety - safe voltages during installation and maintenance exclude danger of electric shock. Efficient remote monitoring - convenient maintenance at low cost. Improved system fault search. Generation of maintenance reports and maintenance status logs. Lower insurance premiums - safety for firemen. 32

74 Service and Maintenance MAINTENANCE SERVICE Gehrlicher Maintenance Service Do you want to hand over the responsibility for the operation of your photovoltaic park or PV system to a professional? What happens in the case of a system fallout while you re on vacation? Do you have something better or more important to do than to call in a qualified service technician for a repair job? In this case, we have the solution for you! We take on the technical monitoring of your solar power plant by connecting it to our server. In case of a system fallout or a reduction in yield, we decide when and what work should be done. Of course you ll be informed of this immediately and be kept up to date on the current yield of your PV system. Trust in our know-how in conducting maintenance and in dealing with legal regulations. Every solar power plant should be inspected in regular intervals during its lifetime. This includes, among others: Electrical check of all module strings, cables and inverters, as well as alternating current installation Mechanical inspection of support structure and modules regarding glass breakage or similar Waterproof check Preventive measures against corrosion and contamination In addition, we offer the following services: Integration of the PV power plant in an internet portal Daily 24-hour system remote monitoring Fault limitation and elimination Analysis and documentation of warning and fault messages Reaction time guarantee reduction of system fallout time Analysis of yield data and plausibility check Report of electricity meter readings to the utility If necessary, report of damages to your insurance company, plus negotiations Grass mowing for ground-mounted and flat roof systems Module cleaning Trust in our Experience We ll help you reach your desired yields! 74
