9 o Mounting system Perfect sealing Our fiberglass rails and UV-treated composite is attached directly to the frame. The modules replace the conventional roof. The EPDM and the installation of photovoltaic tiles overlay provide a perfect seal. The installation process is the only one where all the attachment points are out of water, ensuring a seamless seal today and tomorrow. 9 Passive ventilation The presence of an air, generated by the recovery of the modules on each other, provides the best passive ventilation market. This allows our power to limit overheating in periods of extreme heat that is synonymous with loss of production. Indeed, beyond a temperature of 25 C, photovoltaic modules undergo a production loss of 0.47% per additional level. Selfregulation of the heat will have a great importance on the performance of your plant.

10 o Entire roof covering Our photovoltaic modules can be used for complete coverage. 10 The dummy module brings you freedom Depending on circumstances, this will be standard size tiles, custom tile or tile with a specific cut to always find a harmonious solution. These tiles are undetectable. Aesthetically, they could be confused with the real tiles and are equally resistant. We make them exactly in the same way, with the same requirement, but using cells decommissioned and no connections. Our engineers will provide a customized solution for each of your folders.

32 Our commitments Photovoltaic is our job and we have real expertise on the whole of the sector. Currently, we are exporting 80 % of our production around the world From the feasibility study, through the production of photovoltaic roof tiles and to monitoring of operations, we master the skills of each step in the production of photovoltaic electricity. Our commitment to performance and quality We select our suppliers to demand that all components of our facilities are of impeccable quality. We practice a policy of continual improvement and we regularly test new ways to ensure quality at the right price. Our products have certifications that meet all standards. Our commitment to a secure apply and traceability In a market where 90% of the modules are imported from Asia, our partnership with the German company Bosch for cells and with French manufacturers for all other components allows us to ensure a secure supply. This proximity of our suppliers also contributes to the success of our environmental approach. Each tile which comes out of our factory has a bar code that allows us to identify the batch number of the components, the time and date of manufacture and the results of the test flash. We archive all data during 25 year minimum. 32 Our environmental commitment Our modules are fully recyclable and have a proven durability of life. If the use of photovoltaic modules generates no pollution, manufacture and installation require energy expenditure, that is to say the release of CO² into the atmosphere. Faithful with our eco-friendly approach, our suppliers are mainly French or Europeans. We limit transports needed for the manufacture of our modules. Our environmental approach, which is our fundamental concern, is to minimize the impact of buildings on the environment. We make meaningful choices that allow us to balance our requirements for quality and impact of our actions on the overall balance of the planet. It is important to note that the emission of CO² / kw photovoltaic product is 11 times higher if the module is made in China and five times higher on average for manufacturing in Europe for our French production. By choosing our product and manufacturing French, you are a true ecological choice: solar power, to preserve fossil resources and proximity to limit carbon emissions
