1 Intelligent Solar Tracking since 2007 ComPres v /08

2 100+ years of reliable innovation Founded in 1908, Italian company Soltigua develops solar tracking solutions since Soltigua s cutting edge product portfolio includes: itracker 1 axis PV tracker BiTracker Bifacial 1 axis PV tracker PTMx Series Parabolic Trough Solar Collector FLT Series Linear Fresnel Solar Collector Soltibot Mirror cleaning robot Soltigua is the only company worldwide offering all these technologies to the market. Since 1940 s the company has been owned by the Orioli family, who is still leading the company today. The company has a solid balance sheet, free from bank debt. More than half of today s 20+ staff are engineers totaling 200+ years of professional experience.

3 World Class R&D for advanced engineering Fraunhofer ISE (D) DLR German Aerospace Center (D) Building on its innovation drive, Soltigua developed prestigious partnerships with leading solar research institutions. Solar innovation encompasses all its technologies addressing mechanical, electrical and software engineering: Advanced 3D modeling for product development FEM calculations are used to ensure compliance to international standards Lab & field tests are continuously performed to validate design concepts (e.g. for wind, sand abrasion, corrosion etc..) The quality of Soltigua s research is documented by its patents and by its participation in nine European research projects (FP7 and Horizon 2020). ENEA (IT) IFI (D)

4 Quality Driven Manufacturing Current manufacturing capacity > 300 MWp/year Production facilities: m 2 covered and m 2 open storage area ISO 9001 certified ISO certification ongoing

6 itracker TM general features Single row tracking: no tracker mechanical components in the corridors between tables Long tracker structure: up to 90 pv panels per tracker (3/5 strings) to optimize drive costs User friendly size: 1 module portrait/2 module landscape configuration to simplify installation and O&M Maximized power density thanks to uninterrupted table design Maintenance free components to minimize O&M costs Intelligent power consumption management (night mode) Balanced design: improved mechanical accuracy and reduced components wear CE marked according to the machinery directive 2006/42/CE Technical due diligence by Wood group ready solar tracker/

7 Largest installa on tolerances minimize field repair works Building on its past experience in developing countries, Soltigua developed itracker taking into account possible installation errors and ease of installation, in order to facilitate its adoption also in developing countries or in countries where the personnel still lacks the specific skills. Feature itracker Benchmark Vertical tolerance (Z) ±45 mm ±20 mm Transversal tolerance (X) ±25 mm ±20 mm Longitudinal tolerance (Y) ±50 mm ±35 mm Tilt 8 2 Twist 15 5 Maximum ground slope (North South) ±8 (15%) ±3 Maximum ground slope (East West) Unlimited Unlimited Y tilt X twist Minimized site repairs/modifications Minimized ground works lower installation costs no delays in project timeline easier project management Z itracker installation tolerances

8 itracker is designed according to Eurocodes load combinations, considering: Dead loads (Own and pv modules weight); Variable loads (wind; snow; earthquake up to 0.5g horizontal and 0.9x0.5g vertical). Mechanical design Soltigua commissioned specific wind tunnel tests at I.F.I, the Aerodynamic Institute of Aachen (Germany), to test a PV array in several conditions (ground cover ratio, tilt angle, wind direction). The tests resulted in 15 billions experimental datapoints, equivalent to 145 GB of stored data. All loads are used in Fionite Element Analysis (FEA) axjtqm mode shape

9 New tracker developments BiTRACKER: PV tracker for bifacial modules Shadow free back of the modules to capture the reflected radiation Independent row motor 2P configuration with virtual rotation axis Balanced structure to reduce power consumption during operations CE marked DISRUPTIVE WIRELESS ARCHITECTURE (Q1 2019) Soltigua is integrating a new Sub Ghz IOT solution for wireless trackers, with several benefits versus existing solutions: Simple start topology vs complex mesh network: Faster commissioning and simpler maintenance Less Control Units (up to nodes per C.U. vs 100) Faster communication speed Reduced power consumption for longer battery lifetime SOLTIGUA s SOLUTION EXISTING SOLUTIONS
