Who are we? An Introduction
Stock symbol: XSNX (OTC)
Market Category: Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)
XSUNX intends to be a core technology provider for OEMs in flexible Thin-Film Photovoltaics (TFPV) designs and manufacturing processes.
Innovative TFPV solar technologies that provide diversity in use applications, lower productions costs, and scalable manufacturing technologies.

Solar Industry Roadmap
The U.S. photovoltaics industry including the U.S. Department of Energy have established a road map goal that provides for half of all new U.S. electricity generation to come from solar by 2025.
The robust market development of installed solar electric systems in the U.S. is anticipated to grow substantially from less than 0.4 GW in 2003 to 200GW by 2030.
For an approximate comparison that would equate to the same amount of new electrical production as 40 new large nuclear facilities.

Photovoltaic Energy: It’s real. It’s here. It’s working
Electricity Demand World Competition for scarce resources – India and China Rates increasing - Demand outstripping Supply New Power Plants - NIMB (Not In My Backyard)
Traditional Photovoltaic Clean Renewable Energy Long-term cost stability Bulky, heavy, niche markets, expensive, “off-grid” solutions
Next Generation: Flexible Thin Film Photovoltaic It’s real. It’s here. It’s working! Extensive BIPV applications providing rapid ROI Light weight, cost competitive, both “Off-grid” as well as “On-grid”

A New Approach To The Use Of Solar Technology
Thin-Film PV integrates with the previously under utilized, or simply unused, portions of a buildings structure in the form of PV films applied to building materials.
This form of power generation technology is called Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).
Innovative technology enables every building to be a virtual power plant by utilizing the power of the sun, through the skin of the building.

What’s new? Power Glass™
XsunX Power Glass™ represents a new breed of solar cell design balancing solar cell efficiencies and manufacturing costs with broad applications and uses.
Provides production efficiencies delivering TFPV at approximately $2 per watt under small manufacturing conditions of only 4 MW of annual production.
Semi-transparency makes Power Glass™ glazing desirable for placing over glass.
TFPV uses only .2 microns of a-Si
8
Nano-Crystalline 4-T Thin Film
Currently under development, Nano-Crystalline represents a future enhancement to the new breed of solar cell design extending Power Glass™ to a 4-T device.
Thin opaque TFPV that create light weight, flexible solar cells with potential conversion rates of (12%>) that may provide production efficiencies significantly below $2 per watt under only limited production capacities.
Targeted for both BIPV and other non-BIPV
R&D phase – release scheduled for 2007/08
Uses a innovative solution to scarce silicon

Reel to Reel cluster tool approach
Cassette houses the flexible material
(like a film cartridge in a camera).
CassetteReel to reel
Cassette transported from one process chamber to another via a robotic handler.
Patented (US patent #6,258,408B1)
- separate chambers (modular) - cross contamination eliminated, - high performance devices - redundant chambers (increased uptime).
10
Growth Plan
Multi-phase plan to license both thin-film designs and turn-key multi-megawatt production systems nationally and internationally.
Power Glass™ 2006: Market turn-key multi-megawatt process lines
Nano-Crystalline 4-T Device:
2006: Verify and Validate processes 2007: Market turn-key multi-megawatt process lines
11
Licensing Process
1. Sign a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
2. Conduct Preliminary Due Diligence
3. Sign a Letter-of-Intent (LOI)
4. Conduct Secondary Due Diligence
5. Sign License and/or Manufacturing agreement
6. Production Systems Delivered
