Information As Of July 31, 2006

''A major convergence of factors is spurring rapid growth in the solar energy industry. With worldwide energy demand increasing, fossil fuel reserves in limited supply, emissions taking their toll on the environment, governments recognizing the advantages of solar power, and record-breaking fuel prices creating entirely new economies of scale, solar energy is beginning to realize its potential as a clean, renewable, economically viable power source."


Overview

Solar EnerTech Corp. is involved in the manufacturing of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells and developing designs for PV modules, which are used to convert sunlight into electricity. The Company primarily targets the European and the U.S. markets.


Investment Highlights

  • The solar energy industry is growing rapidly as energy prices worldwide continue to rise and solar power systems become more affordable.
  • The global PV solar industry is expected to reach $9.9 billion this year.
  • In April the US Department of Energy released details of the President's Solar America Initiative proposing the largest funding increase for solar energy research in US budget history. The proposed FY 2007 budget for the initiative is $148 million, a 78% increase, which includes $139 million for PV and $9 million for concentrating solar power.
  • The rising demand for solar cells and panels worldwide continues to outpace production.
  • Solar EnerTech sponsored the recent Energy Round Table in Beijing with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and established consensus with the state government for future involvement in California's solar programs.
  • The company is constructing a state-of-the-art manufacturing and research facility in China and operates a marketing, purchasing and distribution arm in Southern California.
  • SOEN has assembled a world class team of solar industry experts and distinguished scientists to lead production, sales and R&D.
  • The cost differential between solar and conventional energy sources is narrowing—the average price of PV cells and modules has decreased by 24% from 1996 to 2003 and is expected to continue to decrease as the result of improvements in process technologies and economies of scale.
  • A decline in manufacturing costs of PV cells, government support of solar energy and increasing fossil fuel costs are spurring solar growth. A hurdle facing the industry is a shortage of and corresponding price hike in silicon materials used to make cells. SOEN is focused on addressing this need via its breakthrough R&D into silicon alternatives.
  • A truly green technology, solar energy consumes no fuel and produces no air, water or noise pollution.
 
 

 

Product

Solar EnerTech Corp. manufactures quality solar cells and state-of-the-art solar applications, and establish a research program aimed at developing increased efficiency solar cells. Based in Shanghai, China, Solar EnerTech has established a sophisticated 42,000 square foot manufacturing and research facility in Shanghai's Jinqiao Modern Science and Technology Park—a newly dedicated high tech business park in the largest economic and transportation center of China.

Solar EnerTech will invest in photovoltaic cell research to develop higher efficiency cells—and put the results of that research to use right away in the company's manufacturing processes. Led by one of the industry's top scientists, the company's R&D program will work towards bringing Solar EnerTech to the forefront of advanced solar technology research and production.
 

Solar Basics

Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity and are made of semiconducting materials, such as silicon. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity. This process of converting light—photons—to electricity—voltage—is called the photovoltaic effect.

Solar EnerTech's solar cells will meet a high market demand from businesses specializing in PV applications such as solar panels, modules and arrays. These products and systems will be used to help power homes and businesses in Europe, North America and beyond.

Advantages of Solar Energy

• Matching peak time output with peak time demand. Solar energy can supplement electricity supply from an electricity transmission grid, becoming especially effective during electricity demand peaks in the summer.

• Reliability. Accelerated aging tests have shown that PV systems can operate for 30 years or more without the need for major maintenance, other than the occasional cleaning of the PV module surface.

• Modularity and scalability. The size and the generating capacity of a PV system are a function of the number of PV modules installed—applications are readily scalable and versatile.

• Dual usage. PV modules are increasingly used to serve as both a power generator and as the exterior of a building. Like architectural glass, PV modules can be installed on the roofs and facades of residential and commercial buildings.
 


Markets

The Company is developing its manufacturing facility in Shanghai--the largest economic and transportation centre of China. The 42,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in the Jinqiao Modern Science and Technology Park, a newly dedicated high tech business park.

By establishing this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Shanghai, Solar EnerTech will benefit from China's favorable policies and cost-effective labor force to produce quality solar cells and systems for global applications.

The primary solar market is currently in Europe, where significant government incentive programs are helping fuel high demand for solar products. Solar EnerTech's secondary market is the United States, where California has launched an ambitious One Million Solar Roof incentive program for residences and businesses.

With an American marketing and sales arm already in place, Solar EnerTech is well-positioned to meet market demand from its Chinese manufacturing base.

Solar EnerTech has also established a marketing, purchasing and distribution arm in the Silicon Valley region of Northern California. Demand for solar electric energy has consistently grown by 20-25% per year over the past 20 years. This growth has occurred against a backdrop of rapidly declining costs and prices due to increased efficiency of solar cells and improvements in manufacturing technology.

The photovoltaic solar industry now generates over US$3-4 billion globally, including the sale and installation of solar energy systems. In a time of skyrocketing fuel costs and increased pollution from fossil fuels, solar energy is receiving renewed government, business and homeowner support as a viable alternative energy source.
