2. DISTRIBUTED AND MOBILE SOLAR ELECTRICITY w/ STORAGE
The need for Distributed and Mobile Solutions have been demonstrated multiple times during the natural disasters of the last 10 years
Hurricane Sandy reconstruction effort has generated great interest in the development of Off-Grid Technology as witnessed by Philippe Burguiere, PG of AECOM who participated in the Post Sandy Reconstruction in NJ & NY
There also great need in rural and remote areas where the grid is weak and easily disrupted
In the developing world these issues are hugely enhanced and the need for Distributed Energy is Critical to advance socio-economic development

3. Historical Facts & Basic Assumptions TELECOMMUNICATIONS ≤≥ ENERGY
An Average of 30% of the population in Latin America has NO access to the Electric Grid
In Nicaragua, Honduras, Bolivia, Paraguay this number reaches 50%
It is not cost-effective to build the Infrastructure to reach rural areas
Wireless Telecommunications is Truly a Transformational Technology which Increased Business Opportunities and Employment Levels
Wireless technology in LATAM surpassed coverage of Wire-line in 5 years from its inception in 1995
In the year 2000, Wireless Activations Surpassed Wire-line Connections

4. Lessons Learned from the Wireless Industry in LATAM
Technology that is not dependent on the existing infrastructure
Explosive Growth that has helped Economic development
The World Bank established a positive relationship between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development and Per Capita Income
The study also found that Wireless Communications Technologies promote growth faster in the Developing Countries as they reduce Transaction Costs and Improve Productivity
Prepaid Wireless Services represent 99% of all phone services in LATAM
Prepaid services enable access to those without steady income or bank account

5. Future Vision TELECOMMUNICATIONS ≤≥ ENERGY
Leapfrogging Infrastructure Development from a:
Fixed-line Centralized Electric Power to a
Distributed Power Generation
Advanced Energy Storage Devices such as the TESLA Battery will change the Growth Equation for Distributed Energy Generation
Mobile Operators are currently utilizing Distributed Electricity to Power Rural Towers
By the Year 20?? Distributed Energy Generation Will Surpass Grid Connected Electric Power
ATI Energia is developing Prepaid Card Process to extend the reach of the Distributed Community Solar Farm

6. Prepaid Solar Electricity from Off-Grid Stand Alone System
Ground Mounted PV Systems with Battery Back-up
A Retail Store Associated with the PV Ground Mounted System to Sell the Electricity Charged Devices
The Solar Store should be built with SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) to encourage additional “sustainability” models
Many other Solar Charging Devices can be sold out of this Store, i.e. a Solar Outlet Store

7. Critical Advantages for Fast Growth
No PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)
No Interconnection with the Distribution Companies or the Government Owned Utilities
No Monthly Billing
No power grid infrastructure required
Help Improve National Economy by doing a service that does NOT Compete with any entity, Governmental or Private
Immediate Revenue Stream
The support of AECOM, the largest Design Build Engineering Firm in the World, will bring stability, a solid support team and long-term planning

8. Potential Revenue
At least 30% of the population in Latin America does NOT have access to the Electric Grid
Total population in LATAM = 570 million x .30 = 17 million
Average cost per KWH = $0.20 x 17 million = $3.4 million per KWH
Assuming a very conservative usage of 2 KWH per day per individual, the Potential Yearly Revenue:
$24.9 BILLION
