Executive Summary

• Focused on the production of organic solar cells based on proprietary IP

• The company was founded in 2006 out of two leading universities

• Headquartered in Dresden, Europe’s largest organic electronics cluster

Development centers in both Dresden (Physics) and Ulm (Chemistry)

Company Presentation © Heliatek GmbH www.heliatek.com

• World leading OPV efficiency 9.8% and extrapolated lifetime – ahead of milestones

• Successful proof of concept reached by its first R2R production unit in Dresden

• Commercial ramp-up by mid 2012

• Backed by leading industry (Bosch, BASF, RWE Innogy) and venture (Wellington Partners)

Raised €28m to date plus > €10m public funding and subsidies granted

• Raise €60m in round C by Q3/Q4 2012 to expand capacity

• Objctive: Invest in 1 R2R line with 1 m width and 75 MWp capacity

Fab-2 invest starting in Jan 2013

Key Benefit #1:

The future is light – PET modules for flexibility


Thanks to the low process temperature, simple plastic foil can be used as substrate material:

Light weight

Ultra-thin

Robust

0.5 kg/m²

12 kg/m²

17 kg/m²

Listed weight values are average values of leading suppliers for each technology

Heliatek modules Thin film modules Classic crystalline modules

Key Benefit #2:

Aesthetic for new solar applications


Various colors

Various dimensions

Various transparency levels

Homogeneous surface

Less than 1 mm thick modules

Architectural Freedom

10

Key Benefit #3:

Top real-life performances


Heliatek’s OPV modules do not loose in efficiency when they hit the real world:

Superior low light performance: High temperature stability:

› Perfectly suitable for Northern countries with less irradiation, for facades or applications with poor orientation

› Perfectly suitable for hot, sunny regions and for applications with little module ventilation

temperature

Key Benefit #4:

The only TRULY green solar technology


Extremely short energy payback time

Only 1 gram organic material per m2

Low energy used in production thanks to low process temperatures

Toxic-free manufacturing process

Only organic materials, no heavy metals in cells

Produced with available materials, without risk of shortages

Easy disposal at end of life cycle
