The global market for solar cells is over $30 billion and is growing rapidly. Market demand in the US alone has grown 44% annually over the last 6 years. SAVD technology applies to over 90% of solar cells. Market Facts

Solar Is Inefficient Snell’s Law: Light entering solar panels are refracted at very inefficient angles. Inefficient angles direct light downward into the cell resulting in poor energy conversion due to: Higher bounce-back reflection Shorter paths (opportunities) for photon conversion Inefficient distances from the conversion junction

Our patent-pending process dramatically improves solar cell efficiency by more than 50% in the lab SAVD Solar Inc.

SAVD Redirects Light SAVD’s proprietary technology builds nanostructures on solar cells that redirect light into the active layer more efficiently (where the light is absorbed and electrons are generated & collected), thereby overcoming Snell’s Law: Enhances light absorption from increased optical path length that is closer to absorption/junction field Diminishes adverse impact from “bad angle” in morning and afternoon (maximizes energy absorption at oblique angle) SAVD technology light

Process SAVD Solar process only expected to add 5-6% to total costs (but will improve efficiency 50%+) Uses standard semi-conductor manufacturing processes Scalable Conventional cells: Light enters into silicon normal to the surface through horizontal dipoles. SAVD builds nanoscale vertical dipoles (right) that directs light into glancing direction.

Different from other coating technologies because our technology not only dramatically decreases reflection, by overcoming Snell’s law, we dramatically increase energy absorption and carrier collection. Early lab results so far show that SAVD’s technology far exceeds current commercial efficiencies for solar cells. We believe once optimization work is completed that SAVD’s technology will make solar cost competitive to coal and natural gas. SAVD technology is the ‘last step’ (back-end process) in cell manufacturing - we are insulated from price fluctuations of silicon and other material prices. No potential for another Solyndra. This technological potential is a billion dollar opportunity. Facts
