We encourage you to register today. danielle.vasilescu @cowen.com ■ Smart Grid: More Big Players Chasing A Potential $43B Market? Siemens (€60, NR) announced last week it had secured nearly €1B in smart grid orders in FY09 (Sep) and established a target of €6B by 2014. Meanwhile, aerospace and defense players such as LMT ($75, Outperform - 1), BA ($49, Underperform - 3), and RTN ($46, Outperform - 1), have been targeting cyber security aspects of smart grid projects seeking stimulus funds. ■ Electric Vehicles: Virtual OEMs Move Fast; Is Your Utility Ready? Coda Automotive plans to launch an all-electric sedan in California by mid- 2010. The cars will be built in China, with a body by HaFei Automobile, lithium batteries from a J.V. with Tianjin Lishen Battery Co., and propulsion systems from UQM Technologies ($5, NR). Even at low overall penetration of new vehicles, the large number of electric and plug-hybrid models coming to market may overwhelm local power grids in early-adopter areas. ■ Utility Scale Solar: Will New Transmission Get Enough Support? Despite the potential of vast solar resources in the Western U.S., and $6.5B Please see addendum borrowing authority for the Western Area and Bonneville Power of this report for Administrations, transmission expansion may be stymied by fragmented important disclosures. local siting authority and environmental permitting delays. www.cowen.com ■ Will A China National FIT Matter?

    Nanosolar Is Leading the “Third Wave” of Solar Power Technology: the First

    Nanosolar is leading the “Third Wave” of solar power technology: ▪ The First Wave started with the introduction of silicon-wafer based solar cells over three decades ago. While ground-breaking, it is visible until today that this technology came out of a market environment with little concern for cost, capital efficiency, and the product cost / performance ratio. Despite continued incremental improvements, silicon-wafer cells have a built-in disadvantage of fundamentally high materials cost and poor capital efficiency. Because silicon does not absorb light very strongly, silicon wafer cells have to be very thick. And because wafers are fragile, their intricate handling complicates processing all the way up to the panel product. ▪ The Second Wave came about a decade ago with the arrival of the first commercial "thin-film" solar cells. This established that new solar cells based on a stack of layers 100 times thinner than silicon wafers can make a solar cell that is just as good. However, the first thin-film approaches were handicapped by two issues: 1. The cell's semiconductor was deposited using slow and expensive high-vacuum based processes because it was not known how to employ much simpler and higher-yield printing processes (and how to develop the required semiconductor ink). 2. The thin films were deposited directly onto glass as a substrate, eliminating the opportunity of ▪ using a conductive substrate directly as electrode (and thus avoiding bottom-electrode deposition cost), ▪ achieving a low-cost top electrode of high performance, ▪ employing the yield and performance advantages of individual cell matching & sorting, ▪ employing high-yield continuous roll-to-roll processing, and ▪ developing high-power high-current panels with lower balance-of-system cost.

    Are DOE Loan Guarantees an Energy Policy Mistake?

    Greentech Media http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/print/Are-DOE-Loan-Guarantee... RESEARCH & ANALYSIS | POLICY ERIC WESOFF: JUNE 2, 2011 Are DOE Loan Guarantees an Energy Policy Mistake? It’s the Liberals versus the Libertarians: Is the DOE Loan Guarantee Program a righteous creator of jobs and new industry or a wrongful use of taxpayer money? The United States DOE Loan Guarantee Program has disbursed $30.7 billion and claims to have created or saved 62,350 jobs. The loan program has three categories: Section 1703 of Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 authorizes the DOE to support innovative clean energy technologies that are typically unable to obtain conventional private financing due to high technology risks. Section 1705 is a temporary program designed to address the current economic conditions of the nation. It authorizes loan guarantees for certain renewable energy systems, electric power transmission systems and leading edge biofuels projects that commence construction no later than September 30, 2011. The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program consists of direct loans to support the development of advanced technology vehicles and associated components in the U.S. The more publicized loan guarantee recipients include Solyndra , BrightSource Energy , Ford, Fisker , and Tesla. (See the more complete list of loan recipients at the end of this article.) The Loan Program Office (LPO) has issued conditional commitments to 13 power generation projects with cumulative project costs of over $27 billion. This represents a greater investment in clean energy generation projects than the entire private sector made in 2009 ($10.6 billion), and almost as much as was invested in such projects in 2008 -- the peak financing year to date ($22.6 billion), according to the DOE.

    Solar Energy: a New Day Dawning?: Silicon Valley Sunrise Oliver Morton Oliver Morton Is Nature's Chief News and Features Editor

    Solar energy: A new day dawning?: Silicon Valley sunrise Oliver Morton Oliver Morton is Nature's chief news and features editor. Abstract Sunlight is a ubiquitous form of energy, but not as yet an economic one. In the first of two features, Oliver Morton looks at how interest in photovoltaic research is heating up in California's Silicon Valley. In the second, Carina Dennis talks to Australian researchers hoping to harness the dawn Sun's heat. The Sun provides Earth with as much energy every hour as human civilization uses every year. If you are a solar­energy enthusiast, that says it all. No other energy supply could conceivably be as plentiful as the 120,000 terawatts the Sun provides ceaselessly and unbidden. If the tiniest fraction of that sunlight were to be captured by photovoltaic cells that turn it straight into electricity, there would be no need to emit any greenhouse gases from any power plant. Thanks to green thoughts like that, and to generous subsidies from governments in Japan and Germany, the solar­cell market has been growing on average by a heady 31% a year for the past decade (see chart, below). One of the most bullish industry analysts, Michael Rogol, sees the industry increasing from about US$12 billion in 2005 to as much as $70 billion in 2010. Although not everyone predicts such impressive growth, a 20–25% annual rise is widely expected. The market for shares in solar­energy companies is correspondingly buoyant. And yet in the projections of energy supply made by policy analysts and climate wonks, solar remains so marginal as to be barely on the map at all.

    Release: 5th March 2019 Utilities join the party as solar power goes mainstream The list of the world’s top solar power plant owners released today by Wiki-Solar.org shows that leading energy utilities are building significant solar portfolios. Chinese, US and Indian power companies now have substantial solar capacity in their home markets, while European multinationals are building global portfolios. This marks a major shift – just five years ago there were only six utilities in the top thirty.
