April 2002: Barnabus Energy (OTC BB: BBSE) formed as oil & gas development group. December 2005: Signed agreements to acquire Solar Roofing Systems; Connect Renewable Energy. Sold gas holdings. June 2005: Shifted focus to renewable energy. Signed global license for SunCone CSP. April 2006: Secured $20MM in finance. Closed solar acquisitions. Build manufacturing facilities. Changed name to Open Energy. June-Dec 2006: Launched membrane and tile product. Build SunCone prototype. Acquired WaterEye. OEC is perfectly positioned to capitalize on dramatic growth in the renewable energy industry. CORPORATE HISTORY
3
CORPORATE MISSION AND VISION Our Mission: “To enhance life by harnessing the power of the sun.” Our Vision: We will generate outstanding value for our shareholders while contributing to energy security, social equity, and the conservation of natural resources.

FLAT ROOFING Flat to low slope Commercial and Industrial Types of Flat Roof Materials and Their Differences BUR – Built Up Roofing Modified – Modified Bitumen EPDM – Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer TPO - Thermoplastic Polyolefin PVC – Polyvinyl Chloride Others – Hybrids, Metal etc
5
Multiple plies of: Saturated felts, coated felts, fabrics, or mats assembled in place with alternate layers of bitumen, and surfaced with rock, coating, or cap sheet. BUILT UP ROOFING “Old School” – Tar and Gravel
6
BUILT UP ROOFING Advantages: Tough “Name” recognition Length of time on market Disadvantages: Not energy efficient Cost Equipment / Experience Manufactured from the residues of the asphalt and petroleum industries Disruptive installation – (Hot Tar/Odor) If installed correctly.......very expensive (tear-off, tapered) Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application
7
MODIFIED BITUMEN A bitumen modified by including one or more polymers (e.g., atactic polypropylene, styrene butadiene styrene, etc.) Composite sheets consisting of a polymer modified bitumen often reinforced with various types of mats or films and sometimes surfaced with films, foils or mineral granules.
8
Advantages: Tough, Market penetration / availability and Materials Cost Disadvantages: Typically not energy efficient, Installation methods and Long term costs Manufactured from the residues of the asphalt and petroleum industries Dangerous / Disruptive installation (odor, open flame) If installed correctly.......very expensive (tear-off, tapered) Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application MODIFIED BITUMEN
9
EPDM (Rubber) ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DIENE MONOMER Manufactured from the residues of the rubber industry (Firestone) Ballasted applications popular....tape seams If installed correctly.......very expensive (tear-off, tapered) Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application Advantages: Flexible/ Market penetration / availability/Materials & Install Cost Disadvantages: Typically not energy efficient/ Adhesion to self/ Long term costs/ Fire

EPDM (Rubber) ETHYLENE PROPYLENE DIENE MONOMER
11
TPO THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN A blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene polymers. Colorant, flame retardants, UV absorbers and other proprietary substances may be blended with the TPO to achieve the desired physical properties. May or may not be reinforced. Environmentally Friendlier
12
PVC POLYVINYL CHLORIDE A synthetic thermoplastic Polymer prepared from vinylchloride. PVC can be compounded into flexible and rigid forms through the use of plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers and other modifiers. Rigid forms are used in pipes; Flexible forms are used in the manufacture of sheeting and roof membrane materials.
13
PVC POLYVINYL CHLORIDE Advantages: Flexible Energy, Efficient, Heat Welded, Materials & Install Cost Disadvantages: Past Failures (Early 80’s) Thinner Membranes (40mil) Materials Costs PVC Roofing Material is not a by-product of another industry Ease of installation and repair Extremely minimal maintenance required Warranties from 5-25 years depending on manufacturer and application
14
PVC INSTALLATION METHODS Mechanically Fastened Attach roof using screws and plates Most popular method of PVC attachment Recommended when using PV Solar
15
PVC INSTALLATION METHODS Fully Adhered Roof is 'glued' down
16
PVC INSTALLATION METHODS
20
Heat welded using a powerful hot-air blower (400 F) Seams are the strongest part of the PVC roof No chemicals, glues, or adhesives PVC WELDING PVC
21
Various materials including 5” Polyisocyanurate insulation, Fanfold insulation with 6mil Polyethelene film vapor barrier PVC INSULATION & SLIPSHEETS Serve Multiple Purposes: Add ‘R’ value to the facility Provide separation between PVC and old roofing Provide positive drainage (tapered)

SOLARSAVE® INSTALLATION OVER EXISTING ROOF
24
OTHER TYPES OF ROOFING MATERIALS Coatings – Spray applied and brushed Metal
26
Dr. Heshmat Laaly World Renowned Expert in Traditional Roofing Materials and Photovoltaics Patent for Photovoltaics in combination with Single Ply Roofing Membranes Author of “The Science and Technology of Traditional and Modern Roofing Systems” AN EXCITING NEW SOLAR ROOF APPLICATION
27
SOLARSAVE ® THE EVOLUTION OF PV DESIGN THE EVOLUTION OF ROOFING The Worlds largest, lightest and most powerful crystalline solar module
28
SILICON SOLAR CELL TECHNOLOGIES Thin film (Amorphous Silicon) Lowest power output ~ 5-7% efficiency Polycrystalline Mid level power output ~ 12-15% efficiency Monocrystalline High level power output ~ 16-18% efficiency SolarSave™ … SunPower Monocrystalline Premium level power output > 20% Highest available in the industry today
29
SOLARSAVE ® - PREMIERE SERIES “Everyone wants new technology but they want it to be 25 years old” Heat and pressure sealed multi-layer laminated construction SP 450: 48” x 96” x ¼” module, 450 Watts SP 225: 48” x 50” x ¼” module, 225 Watts Electrical compatibility with SP-450 module Integrated with PVC single-ply roofing membrane Used as roofing material for 50 years 20 year material warranty Industry leading energy output Up to 15 watts/ft² Lightweight Less than 2 lb/ft² 20 Year performance warranty
30
SOLARSAVE ® - PREMIERE SERIES Module Construction – Performance and Durability Enhanced flouropolymer top coat Diffuses heat Captures low levels of light … 2-5% better than glass Low surface tension … repels dirt and water better than glass Maximizes power output in shade … embedded bypass diodes Low Cost Installation - Conduit ready MC junction box with plug- and-play leads UL1703 Listed, CEC Listed Class A fire rating SP-450SP-225 160 monocrystalline cells - 2 parallel strings of 80 cells connected in series 80 monocrystalline cells - 1 string of 80 cells connected in series
31
Key Challenges Roof penetrations (rack-mounted systems) Structural weight implications (ballasted systems) Wind uplift problems Requires waterproof substructure Creates water ponding … Roof remains damp/wet under modules – plant growth, mold and mildew Penetrations cause roof warranty invalidation TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS RACK-MOUNTED AND BALLASTED
32
TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS THIN FILM TECHNOLOGY Key Challenges Very low power output ~ 5-7 % efficiency, 4 watts per ft² Requires vast roof area to generate required electricity Individual modules are very large Unable to be installed around roof objects
33
SolarSave ® is the roof … Waterproof … No roof penetrations No leakage risks Doesn’t void roof warranty Lightweight … Less than 2 lbs. ft² No structural reinforcement required No water ponding Roof stays dry, free from rot, mold and plant growth Building integrated … No wind uplift issues Highest energy output in the industry Up to 15 watts per ft² Eliminates traditional challenges for solar on new construction as well SOLARSAVE ® - THE SOLAR EVOLUTION SOLVES ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS
34
INSTALLATION Standard Single-Ply Roofing Methods Mechanically Fastened Fully Adhered Multiple PVC membranes supported TPO planned in future Recommended method Install PVC membrane roof per standard practice Heat-weld SolarSave TM Membrane modules to roof
35
INSTALLATION
36
SOLARSAVE ® - INSTALLATION ADVANTAGES EASY AND INEXPENSIVE TO INSTALL No rack mounting hardware or heavy ballast required Lower installation labor and material costs Module sizes allow for installation around roof objects Maximizes solar electricity output Can be installed over existing roof No demolition and disposal costs Fully expandable
