8 Canadian Solar PV Industry: Record of Achievement 2009 puts Canada on the North American Solar PV map with 50+ MW installed in Ontario. Aerial View of 9.1 MW First Light project near Kingston, Ontario

9 Canadian Solar PV Industry: Record of Achievement 2010 seen Ontario develop the world s largest solar PV project in Sarnia, Ontario First Solar / Enbridge 80 MW Solar Project in Sarnia, Ontario

10 Canada Solar PV Market Future Status Approximately 200 MW in 2010 Estimated MW in 2011, 2012

11 Solar PV Incentives & Support in Canada Ontario Green Energy and Green Economy Act Create 50,000 green economy jobs Ontario Feed in Tariff ( FIT ) Program Launched Oct. 1, year contract terms Currently no Solar PV Federal Incentives Other Provinces looking at Solar PV support policies: British Columbia Saskatchewan Nova Scotia

12 Ontario Challenges Going Forward Ongoing Stability Concern about Ontario provincial election and impact on FIT Program FIT Program Review Sending the right signals to the market place Continuous monitoring and program improvement (i.e. REA process, etc) Domestic Content Requirements MicroFIT & FIT Program: Increase to 60% January 2011 Solar PV is a global industry Need to ensure that Governments are getting value for their investments Developing Industry Capacity Transmission/Distribution capacity Interconnection capabilities & measurement standards Research and development Evolving financing solutions

13 Solar PV Export Opportunities Global Solar PV market growing at 40% 50% annually Over 10,000 MW expected in 2011 US Market will be the world s leading solar PV market Approximately 900 MW in 2010 Over 2,000 MW expected in 2011 Canada does $1 Billion worth of trade with US each day

14 Solar Energy Value Chain Silicon Raw Materials Silicon Processing Implementation Polysilicon Ingot Wafer Solar Cell Solar Panel System $/W Heavy Manufacturing Engineered Material Handling Systems Custom Production Machinery Industrial Process Supplies Process Manufacturing Custom Production Machinery Lab and testing materials Semiconductor Supplies Glass Light Manufacturing Metal fabrication Electrical Systems Components Power System Design/Engineering Project Installation Miscellaneous Supplies & Services 14

15 What is our Energy Future? In the long term, solar will be the end game. Solar PV will drive the long term plan for sustainable electricity solutions.
