• Demand for electricity continues to increase overtime.

• Summer months have peak demand with air conditioner loading.

• Ontario needs more renewable energy to meet our 2025 targets.

• We need alternative ways to generate electricity that help offset peak demand while improving air quality.

• SOLAR ENERGY:

– Maximum solar energy production coincides with peak demand times.

– The sun provides a virtually unlimited supply of energy.

• Solar energy is clean, renewable, quiet, reliable, and passive.

• The PV panels are mounted in flat, unobstructed locations with a low profile.

• Solar energy creates jobs and benefits the local economy.

• Solar energy is generated locally and distributed on the existing local grid.

• A 10 MW solar project will displace approximately 10,000 tons of CO2

equivalents a year.

The Benefits of Solar

SOLAR ENERGY POWERS THE WORLD FOR CLEANER GENERATIONS TO COME

How Photovoltaics Work

1. Sunlight contacts the solar photovoltaic (PV) panel.2. The electrons in the cells move about, creating direct current (DC) electricity.3. DC energy is converted into alternating current (AC) electricity using an inverter.4. AC electricity is supplied to the power grid.5. Electricity is distributed for use in local homes and businesses.

First Light 1

First Light is Canada’s first fully operational solar project.

Joint Venture Partners SkyPower and SunEdison activated First Light on September 28, 2009.

• 9.1 MW nameplate capacity• Located on 90 acres of land in Stone Mills, Ontario• Will generate enough electricity to power almost 1,000 homes• Displaces almost 8,000 metric tons of CO2 (equivalent of 1,800 cars)

Norfolk, Ontario SunE Sky Park I & Park II

Joint Venture Partners SkyPower and SunEdison Started Construction on Two Additional Utility Scale Solar Projects on March 25, 2010.

• Together they are expected to generate over 19 million KWh in their first

year of operation and almost 400 million kWh after 20 years.

• Enough electricity to power 33,000 homes and cut over 250 thousand

metric tons of CO2 emissions from the environment.

Meeting Ontario’s Green Energy Goals

Ontario’s Renewable Companies Require:

• Manufacturing Facilities of Solar Panels In Ontario

• Foreign Investment Into Ontario Developers (Equity & Debt)

• Partnerships Between Ontario Renewable Companies

and Companies in Sunny Places Around the World
