7 Renewables, and solar energy in particular, will have to provide a lion s share of future energy needs One scenario for future energy mix (solar intensive): Main drivers: Increased energy consumption High and rising energy prices Environmental challenges! A large number of people globally without electricity 7 Developing people - creating value

20 CHALLENGE FOR NORWEGIAN COMPANIES 21
21 International evaluation..this means that the work force in Norwegian solar industry was almost halved in 2011, compared to earlier years. Companies included in report: REC, Elkem Solar AS, NorSun AS, Metallkraft AS, Innotech Solar AS, CruSiN AS, Evonik Solar, SiC Processing AS 22
22 Little support from Norwegian officials Den skarve fremtiden Av Anders Njål Hansen 19. januar 2012 Ifølge BI-professor Torger Reve bør Norge satse på næringene offshore, maritim industri og fiskeoppdrett (sjømat) fordi disse har potensiale til å bli globale kunnskapsnav. Samtidig sier Torger Reve at bl.a. bioteknologi, farmasøytisk industri, fornybar energi (utenom vannkraft) og reiseliv ikke er fremtidige næringer for Norge fordi vi ikke har gode nok forutsetninger. Dette er empiri, ikke synsing, ifølge professoren. 23 ALVORLIG: At det brukes mindre penger på forskning og utvikling, og at innovasjonen går ned i Norge, er svært alvorlig. Det må legges en systematisk plan som gjør det lønnsomt å investere i kunnskap - ikke satses mindre penger på næringsrettet forskning, mener BIprofessor Torger Reve. Foto:Lise Åserud / SCANPIX - Grunnen eroderes under det norske næringlivet Det er bekymringsfullt at staten bruker mindre nå enn i 2001 på forskning i næringslivet, mener BI-professor Torger Reve.
23 WHO WILL SURVIVE? 24
24 Elkem Solar s vision to contribute to the future of the PV industry Creating future Lower production cost Equivalent product quality Less energy consumption 25 Developing people - creating value
25 Survival of Norwegian SoG-Si production What will it require from us? High quality workforce High productivity Ability to innovate - not copy Optimized production International network and value chain knowhow Source: Arve Ulriksen, Elkem Salten Cost of Energy is approx. 40% of our total Cost Labour Cost 10 % Environmental competence Reduced power consumption Reduced GHG emission Recycling of Si waste in Value Chain No toxic waste Our ability to compete depend on fair power prices and high operational efficiency Power Cons. 40 % Raw material, and other cost 50 % Only people can think and solve problems Only people can understand the needs of customers Only people can support the process 26 5/16/2012
26 Situation of Chinese companies Source:Songcheng Zheng 27
27 Norwegian metallurgical knowhow fundament for unique SoG-Si process development Preben Rash-Olsen in Carnegie investment Bank AS presented 20 Nov. 2011: Prices will continue to drop, several companies will bust, others will consolidate. Winners will be: 1) lowest cost producers, 2) cost-reducing technology providers, 3) consultants & investment bankers With a long term focus on quality, environment and cost the Norwegian producers of compensated SoG-Si should have good qualifications for future expansion. More producers of compensated SoG-Si are, however, needed in order to: 1. meet the dominant market position of SoG-Si from Siemens process 2. establish a competitive PV power price. 28
