(Using PV panels at that time & EPC responsible for everything)
In Japan, PV power generation costs became lower than electricity cost (Business: 14-18 yen/kWh, Household: 22-26 yen/kWh)
Now, we have entered into a stage where renewable energy shows self-sustainable growth without the influence from FIT

■Business environment and influence from FIT
PV module manufacturing
equipment
NPC products & services
・Our main customers are US PV module manufacturers
・US manufacturers mainly focus on the growing US market
Business environment
PV panel inspection services
・Approx. 30GW projects approved under FIT have not yet constructed
・Construction of power plants are to continue for the time being in Japan
・Shift strategy to achieve P/O for regular inspections for power plants
already under operation
PV panel reuse/recycling・Demand will increase for second-hand panels for self-consumption which
require lower costs・Japanese market has potential demand with large cumulative installation
volume of more than 60GW (3rd largest in the world)・Discarded panels are increasing due to the end of plant operation and
natural disasters
FIT rate cut back or ending of the scheme will not influence our business

■Impact on business due to US-China trade friction
There is no negative impact on our business, but rather a positive impact
� In the US, 25% tariffs are imposed on Chinese panels for emergency import restrictions (Safeguard).
US manufacturers, our customers, are performing well in orders/productions
� Traditionally we have no dealings with Chinese manufacturers that use general equipment
� Towards First Solar
� Increase business with emerging US module manufacturers
• Onsite technical support for both existing and newly installed manufacturing lines
• Cost reduction and thorough delivery time management
• Raise production capacity by improving production efficiency and cooperating with subcontractors
■Situation of our main customer, First Solar
Copyright Ⓒ 2019 NPC Incorporated. All rights reserved. 15
� Provide full lines and engineering services utilizing our production capacity and technologies
� Provide automated machines to various industries in the US utilizing overseas know-how and experience such as
satisfying international safety standards
� Obtain orders from major customers and continue to expand transactions as existing customer
� Strengthen designing & electrical designing departments by hiring overseas engineers

■Launch of PV panels intermediate treatment (started in July, 2019)
* NPC listed as one of the excellent recycling companies on JPEA (Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association) website.
Purpose1. Expect stable business contribution as a future stock
2. Develop and improve disassembly equipment through knowledge/know-hows to be obtained from the business
3. Appeal that recycling of discarded panels is possible because there are many owners who do not know how to handle panels
damaged by natural disasters
