Solarbuzz Market Reports – 2004 through 2008. www.solarbuzz.com Greentech Media, 2/11/08, Jon Guice, PhD and John D.H. King, MS MBA

Of the 220 MW installed in 2008, grid connected solar products accounted for 190 MW. opportunity for off grid applications such as solar powered signage.

65% of the installed solar is large commercial/utility scale solar projects.

About PVI Solar

Our core technology - PowerLine™ - enables us to take solar power beyond conventional capabilities

Building technologies that create practical solar powered applications

Designing integrated power-system and products

Providing a broad range of off-grid solar-powered products, including commercial signage and lighting

PowerLine™ Our Premier Solution

The centerpiece of PVI Solar’s power management approach

Uses NASA HOMER renewable energy data and software

User definable settings

PowerLine manages automatic system adjustments based on current battery level and recent history of available sunlight and ambient temperature

PowerLine continuously monitors vital system diagnostics to enhance power management and extend battery life

PowerLine™ Features

Uses a temperature compensating algorithm to adjust battery charging and capacity calculations

Extended operating range: (-45o F to +135o F)

Adapts to the seasons by tracking daily history of available solar energy

Recognizes the difference between night/day and overcast weather or ambient light

Uses pulse width modulation of LEDs to maximize system efficiency and power availability

Utilizes various survival modes to perpetuate continued operation under extreme adverse conditions

Why PVI Solar?

Totally Off Grid

Superior Run Time

– 8 day duration vs. 2 - 4 days without power mgmt.

– Solutions designed to run perpetually

Scalable, Measurable ROI
