19 Business snapshot Short term challenge, long term opportunity In the first half of 2008 Oerlikon Solar established a strong market position New orders Order targets were where being met. g met. Demonstrated technical leadership with highest performance. All projects delivered on time All projects meeting performance promises. And then the financial crisis hit! New orders delayed due to the inability for customers to get financing. Potential for project execution delay on some existing orders due to possible customer financing delays. Expect 6 to 12 months before growth returns. Customers build plants today for markets in Fundamental need and benefits of PV have not changed. Political winds are favorable.

21 Grid parity: ahead of the solar PV market Potential for explosive growth in demand d upon convergence Electricity from Solar PV is becoming cheaper Demand Supply cost ($/kwh) ice, Solar PV US-Average price of electricity: 8,6 cents/kwh Grid Parity Rising Grid Costs Grid pr Potential for over-supply

22

23 Why thin-film instead of c-si? Absolute lowest cost of electricity! Much lower manufacturing cost then c-si Lower efficiency does result in slightly higher BOS cost However, overall result is lowest cost of electricity Better performance at higher operating temperatures Better performance in diffused light, wider range of incidence angles More KWhrs for every KWp Higher margins in manufacturing Higher rates of return on investment for solar projects
