3 Eliminating Light Poverty There are three kinds of basic poverty that the world has identified, that is, food, clothing, and shelter poverty. While the world and all its army of philanthropists are largely focused on these three, Noble Energy Solar Technologies Ltd (NEST), a company with a difference in vision has identified another kind which is equally relevant yet neglected. This kind of poverty can be called Light poverty. Light is the integral part of life. There s no life without light. In fact, in a recent research, it has been found that DNA emits photons, the elementary particles of light. While day is signified with sunlight, the absence of sunlight on the globe is termed as night. But man always needed light except when he slept. Light is the essence of life. If we ignore its importance, we miss life. Light is essential for the overall development of man. We cannot even spell enlightenment without the word light! The above picture illustrates the light disparity in the world. One half of the globe so well lit that spotting stars is a rarity; the other half in complete darkness. mission and pursued its dream of Eliminating Light Poverty. While 2 billion people world over have no access to electricity, and over 100 million Indian families use smoky and hazardous kerosene for their lighting purposes, not too many organizations worried about why this deprivation of modern lighting is still prevalent, and while most of the organizations either shrugged of the responsibility, or brushed it aside for reasons of not being economically viable, It was NEST which took up this cause as a

4 About the Founder: Mr. DT Barki, the founder chairman of NEST has been in the solar photovoltaic industry for the last 25 years. A B.Tech graduate in Electronics Engineering (1982) from KREC (now NITK), Surathkal, India, he has earned international reputation with solar PV technologies, through successful implementation of several solar projects (cells, modules and systems). He has toured all over the world to attend national & international conferences, workshops, and business meets on the industry. He applies his scientific, technical, and management expertise to all aspects of the challenge to implement sustainable energy services, especially solar PV globally, for the benefit of people and the planet. He has extensive knowledge in setting up solar cell manufacturing units and running them successfully. Mr.Barki has several shop floor contributions in inventing many defect analysis methods in solar cell and module processing. He has won the ELCINA (national) award for the indigenisation of crystalline PV cells production during his service at BHEL, Bangalore. After having worked in BHEL, Bangalore for 12 years he came to Hyderabad and served in several private organisations and was instrumental in setting up both cell and module lines during his service. In 1998 Mr. Barki embarked on a journey to provide light to the people living in darkness and founded NEST that has served many people today. He has clearly laid the foundational values for NEST to carry forward the mission of Eliminating Light Poverty in a much more concerted manner, this being the hallmark of a true visionary. His technological and social skills are to bring light to life; because he believes that Life is Light; Light is Life.

5 Methodology: Nicholas D. Kristoff has written an article titled Social Entrepreneurship in which he has addressed an approachable methodology towards Sustainable Development in the world. He cites many working examples wherein the enterprises with a social cause are proving to be highly beneficial to the people in the developing countries. Nest has taken to heart this idea, and with its technological and management expertise has made tremendous progress in making sustainable development a global reality. Projects and Activities: 1. NEST has pioneered in the design and development of AISHWARYA, an affordable solar mini lamp for the rural households across the world. 2. NEST will always work to develop new solar lighting products and nurture innovative lighting projects to realize its mission of Eliminating Light Poverty in the world. We are currently working on the design and development of solar LED lantern in association with Sankeerna Technologies Inc., USA, who have developed a unique, patented LED filament. It is AISHWARYA in a new avatar and is named AISHWARYASUN KIRAN NEST is working on producing low cost solar grade (SoG) silicon for polysilicon producers across the world. 4. Solar Lantern Charging Stations: Noble Energy Solar Technologies Ltd (NEST) had developed AISHWARYA solar lamps as affordable options for the rural poor to replace their unsafe kerosene lamps. With the advent of Ashden Light Award 2005, AISHWARYA solar lamp became global solar product. While this solar lamp has a section of rural poor who can afford AISHWARYA solar lamps, there are many who cannot buy the lamp, though low cost, by making down payment.

6 The Team, Technology and Commercialization: NEST has the most experienced solar and electronics specialists on its Board of Directors. In brief, NEST knows the true art of Science, Technology & Engineering with the necessary commercial expertise to make sustainable solar energy technology, a sustainable business venture. Quality: NEST aims to become the leading supplier in its chosen markets and acknowledges that it can achieve and maintain this goal through the highest level of commitment to providing the best quality and the best price, Therefore, to ensure that all products are manufactured to the highest standards, a stage by stage inspection and assessment is carried out during manufacturing. This assessment culminates in final and full functionality testing, and each year a substantial proportion of revenue is invested in product research and development programs, with a highly qualified and experienced team of engineers working to enhance and improve existing products, as well as pursue innovative new ideas. Our Solar Lighting products are kept for regular evaluation under actual using conditions. The solar lamps are tested and Evaluated by national laboratories like ETDC (Electronic Test Development Center).

7 Our Unique Manufacturing Facility: Nest is a global player as manufacturer and supplier of solar lighting solutions. Our flagship brand AISHWARYA is an Ashden Light Award winning solar lamp. We have an exciting range of solar lanterns, Solar Home Lighting, and Solar street light systems. Also, we manufacture whole range of crystalline silicon solar modules. In NEST, we do things differently. Our manufacturing facilities in Hyderabad and Bangalore are the manifestation of our mission and vision. Our solar module and system assembly facilities are characterized by efficient, effective and the most economical infrastructure. This is one of the reasons why our solar products are of highest quality and yet with the lowest cost. Our state of the art solar module manufacturing facility is situated at Bangalore. The Solar Systems assembly line is situated in Hyderabad, AP India.

8 Awards & Credentials: 1. First Prize winner of the prestigious ASHDEN LIGHT Award 2005, popularly known as GREEN OSCAR 2. ISO 9001:2001 Quality Certified 3. AISHWARYA mini solar lamp has been tested and approved by Fraunhofer ISE, Freiburg Germany for the Lighting Africa projects. 4. World Bank and ESMAP s testing arm PV GAP has undertaken laboratory and field tests of AISHWARYA solar mini lamps and approved them for implementing lighting projects in developing countries such as Bolivia, and Nicaragua.
