WHY SOLAR?• Growing solar EOR (enhanced oil
recovering) facilities• In 2010 67% increase in revenues
and 20.5% decrease in costs, making it fasting growing industry in energy sector
• Decrease need of incentives in the future, due to continuous price drops.
• Market based incentives like Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)
– Cap and trade credit granted to firms with installed solar capacity that can be sold on spot markets
• U.S DOE “SunShot Initiative” -$112.M over 5 years to support development of advanced PV related manufacturing
– Aims to reduce total cost of PV systems to $1 per watt by 2020 (75% reduction) enabling competition with other form of energy
– Intended to lay groundwork to create a world-leading industry

WHY GT SOLAR?
• Participates in multiple growth Industries
• Market leader in critical equipment for solar industry
• Diversification through high involvement in both the semiconductor, solar manufacturing and LED industries– Sapphire materials used
in LED applications, defense, medical, research and aerospace industries

5 YEAR TREND
RISKS• International Business Nature – 81%
Revenue from Asia• Few Products offered – 91% of Sales• Few Customers – 62% revenue from
four customers• Government budgetary concerns could
decrease subsidies/incentives for solar.– Renewable Energy budget is decreasing, was at $6B in
2009 and has been cut down to $2.5B.
