Utility Scale: Cross-Over is Here and Now . . .

� PV has reached the cross-over point when compared with new construction of a gas peaker, coal or nuclear plant.

� Conventional utility capacity alternatives have become too expensive and/or too risky:

� Coal cannot be financed

� Gas Peakers yield very expensive power

� Nuclear is too costly and too risky

� PV is now the lowest cost of any of these options

Levelized Cost of Energy - Forecast

References:• Lazard for start year for Coal IGCC, Gas CT, Gas CCCT, Nuclear, Wind. E3 Consulting for CSP and Coal IGCC with CCS. • DOE for Central and distributed PV (CPV and DPV). Costs after start year are trended per SunPower internal assumptions on commodity prices, fuel costs and cap & trade. Wind is flat for 4 years, thendeclines 1%/year; CSP declines per a blend of various company price curves.

The weighted average LCOE from PV over the construction period of a

Conventional Plant is lower than the LCOE from that plant.
