2 FUSION 3.3 ft. 6.6 ft. Wire mesh fall protection. FUSION photovoltaic panel requires only one 0.5 diameter opening inside the sealed boot. That s smaller than this dime. 3.3 ft. 6.6 ft. 6 ft. 5 ft. FUSION photovoltaic panel requires only one 0.5 diameter opening inside the sealed boot. That s smaller than this dime. (actual size) (actual size) Total area = Proprietary non-penetrating Total area = 4,320 in in. 2 ballast system.* Each boot can accommodate up to four FUSION panels. Patents-pending Built-up curb and seams. One photovoltaic solar panel can power two ultra-efficient FUSION SkyLight Luminaires. Position at desired height and location for optimal light distribution. Each FUSION SkyLight Luminaire can generate a maximum of 32,300 lumens that s 64,600 lumens from a single solar panel. * Load on roof is 40 lbs./ft. 2 Check local codes for wind loading / mounting requirements where standard FUSION panel support bracket may not be compatible. Pg 2 of 16 Attribute FUSION PV Solar Powered LED Luminaires Typical 5 ft. x 6 ft. skylight Roof Penetration Area (affects thermal gains / losses) 0.5 in. diameter = in. 2 area 4,320 in. 2 area (22,040 times more area) Roof Penetration Perimeter 1.57 in. 264 in. Structural Impact Proprietary non-penetrating ballast system holds FUSION PV Panels in place - will not violate roof membrane integrity. FUSION PV Panels can be positioned on ground level. Cut opening into roof and affix skylight to a curb that is required for structural reinforcement. Can only be located above one floor. Installation on older buildings Yes - easily done. Maybe - difficult, expensive. Security Nothing required. Requires additional expensive barriers that can trap and hold debris. Light Distribution Light Control Light Quality Longevity FUSION Luminaires can be placed up to 170 ft. away from the panel - even in areas without roof top access or to another floor. Can easily reposition FUSION Luminaires to suit needs. Can position FUSION Luminaires closer to the floor for maximum lumen output. Multiple luminaire configurations (linear, square, etc.) are optional. Monitor, dim or turn off FUSION Luminaires with proprietary smartphone wireless application. Option for integration with existing light system. No UV is generated by FUSION Luminaires. Color of light remains constant regardless of time-ofday. FUSION Luminaires will last a minimum of 20 years. 10-year warranty. Must be directly above area to be lit. Fixed position, can t be moved. Lumen output exponentially decreases as distance to floor increases. Requires expensive mechanical shade mechanisms. UV filtration effectiveness varies by manufacturer, may change or diminish with age. Color of light changes with time-of-day. Typically a 5-year warranty. With a typical skylight, illumination comes through a large diffusion dome. It is in a fixed position at ceiling height and cannot be moved. Pg 3 of 16

3 FUSION Big Light - Little Hole An array of 4 FUSION Solar Panels can use one small boot to bring the power to illuminate up to 8 FUSION SkyLight or 24 FUSION Integrated High Bay Luminaires. Traditional skylights can require up to 120 ft. 2 or more of roof penetrations to cover the same area. One small boot can support the power input from four FUSION solar panels. Integrated Luminaire The center array is energized only by solar power. The two outer arrays are energized with AC power. The Distribution Module keeps the light output constant - regardless of the amount of sunlight. FUSION Photovoltaic Panels can be located on the roof or on the ground. No traditional skylight can do that. Patents-pending FUSION SkyLight and Integrated Luminaires Position exactly where needed, even if no direct access to roof Mounting heights can be lower than ceiling Can be repositioned if needs or applications change Control light output via FUSION smart phone application Maintain illumination set point with FUSION Hybrid or Integrated System Consistent color temperature of light regardless of time-of-day Many luminaire configurations such as linear are available Pg 4 of 16 Pg 5 of 16

4 FUSION Architecture Systems When FUSION LED Luminaires (yellow) are generating light, AC powered LED fixtures (blue) reduce output to maintain desired light level setpoint. At night or when daylight levels are low, the AC powered LED fixtures increase light output to maintain desired light level setpoint. Patents-pending FUSION SkyLight, Hybrid and Integrated Luminaire Systems can be monitored and wirelessly controlled by the Distribution Module via our smart phone application. FUSION Basic SkyLight solar powered light FUSION Basic SkyLight with existing fixtures FUSION SkyLight controllable solar powered light FUSION SkyLight Hybrid System with FUSION Luminaires FUSION LED SkyLights are powered only by photovoltaic solar power. Simple, reliable, flexible. Combine FUSION Basic LED Skylight with existing AC fixtures. If the existing fixtures are dimmable and can be controlled by an ambient light sensor, additional savings can be gained by FUSION solar contribution. FUSION LED SkyLights can be dimmed or turned off by the Distribution Module via our smart phone application. FUSION Hybrid System uses a proprietary algorithm to seamlessly monitor and blend output from FUSION LED SkyLight Luminaires with internal drivers and the FUSION AC Luminaires to maintain desired light level setpoint.

6 Patent-Pending FUSION Reduces/Produces Watts HID 465W 435W reduction per fixture from HID to Fusion System 93% cost reduction By the numbers The chart (on page at left) shows a significant reduction in utility provided electrical power on December 19, 2017 in our Manitowoc, Wisconsin facility. AC Watts to Maintain 40FC varies in response to solar contribution January 19, 2017 Manitowoc, Wisconsin Between 8:21am and 2:33pm, with the contribution of Photovoltaic DC power, the LED fixture required only 30 watts (AC) to deliver desired light level setpoint. Without Photovoltaic contribution, that same LED fixture would require 104 watts (AC). That s a reduction of 74 watts over six hours. That s significant cost savings for one of the shortest days of the year in Wisconsin. HIF 221W 191W reduction per fixture from HIF to Fusion System 86% cost reduction Compared to a typical 6-lamp T8 fluorescent fixture requiring 221W, a FUSION Direct Photovoltaic LED system dramatically reduces daytime lighting costs by up to 85%. Compared to a typical 400W HID fixture that requires 465W to operate that represents a 93% reduction. Omega 104W FUSION 74W solar contribution 74W reduction per fixture from Omega to Fusion 71% cost reduction 30W 30W AC with contribution from Fusion to maintain 40 FC light level setpoint MIDNIGHT Average Annual Maximum PV Output NOON MIDNIGHT During daylight hours, the FUSION LED Hybrid and Integrated Systems can provide all or a majority of light from the solar panels. No power or only minimal power from the utility is used for interior illumination when electricity costs are at their highest. Pg 10 of 16 Typical Electrical Utility Peak Demand Period Even during early morning and late afternoon, or on overcast days, solar power can contribute significant energy to the FUSION LED Hybrid and Integrated Systems, reducing operating costs.

9 FUSION Solar Powered SkyLight, Hybrid and Integrated LED Systems The concept behind FUSION is brilliantly simple: Use the DC power output from photovoltaic solar panels to directly energize LED fixtures without conversion to AC. Our patent-pending systems directly integrate photovoltaic solar panel DC output with high-performance LED luminaries and controls. Historically, to integrate photovoltaic DC power output into a facility s electrical system, it was first converted to AC power. That AC power was then converted back to DC power for use by lighting fixtures. Those conversions suffer significant losses of the power generated by a Photovoltaic panel. FUSION eliminates the inefficient, expensive and complex conversion process from DC to AC to DC. That eliminated the inverter, battery storage,transfer switching equipment, maintenance, labor and other costs associated with traditional grid connected solar power. With its patent-pending distribution module, controller and smart phone application, you can enjoy all the benefits of solar powered lighting with none of the risks or limitations of traditional skylights. FUSION puts the power of the sun in your facility. AMERICAN INNOVATION Pg 16 of EB BROCH FUSION Intro 16pg Designed & Built in USA
