Excess solar fed into the distribution grid causes voltage instability so the grid imposes “Zero Export” or Solar Curtailment restrictions

Problem: Rooftop solar creates voltage problems on the distributed electricity grid, limiting the amount of rooftop solar that is economically viable to install

3

Acceptable voltage range

Excess voltage = grid instability

Low voltage = power shortage

Voltage peaks due to feed-in of excess solar

Voltage droop due to excess demand

Significant capital spending by the grid is required to upgrade distributed network

Reduces ROI of rooftop solar and batteries

Makes commercial scale rooftop solar, VPP & Microgrids non-bankable

Destroys Virtual Power Plant effectiveness

Prevents P2P trading and Blockchain

Causes social injustice

Solar & Wind Farms will have reduced ROI as DER continues to increase

Rooftop solar is used 1st and will push out solar & wind farms in the energy mix. But % of DER is limited on the grid without eleXsysTM!

DER is far cheaper – but the grid limits how much can be installed

• Electricity generated from rooftop solar close to demand is used 1st

• Electricity from distant solar and wind farms is used last

• Solar & wind farms ROI is severely impacted before end of life

• Will cost taxpayers $ Trillions for new HV transmission lines thus increasing the cost of electricity

• In the global sunbelt with 60% of people, 80% of energy can be DER generated locally

• But the distribution grid is one-way – can handle around 15% DER before voltage issues occur

• Higher than 15% DER will cost $ Trillions to upgrade the one-way distribution grid and increases tariffs

• Plus “Electrification of Everything” will add pressure to upgrade the distribution grid …

Global Recognition

Receiving the 2019 Start-up Energy Transition Award from Andreas Kuhlmann, Chief Executive of the German Energy Agency

This technology is game changing –you need to think 100 times bigger

eleXsysTM is revolutionary – it’s as big as the original electrification of the USA 100 years ago. It will change the whole electrical industry.

Christoph Frei, Secretary General & CEO

World Energy Council

Aurecon A Global Engineering Consultancy

An Aurecon report validates that eleXsysTM can manage grid voltage and increase the distribution grid hosting capacity for DER (rooftop solar and VPP batteries) by up to 1,300%

Turn Energy Cost into an Income Stream

1A

Move solar farms to rooftops school example

Turn $240,000 per year energy bill into a $380,000 per year income stream

Voltage issues = Export Restrictions/Curtailment• Only 250 KW is an economically viable

installation

Full Export with eleXsysTM fixing voltage issue• 1,500 KW is economically viable + 3 MWh battery• With eleXsysTM C&I batteries are viable today

1,700 sites: Replaces Yallourn Coal Station by 20301,800 sites: Replaces Callide Coal Station by 2040

• 1.2 MW of rooftop solar plus 3 MWh of VPP batteries • Largest C&I Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in the world

• With eleXsysTM C&I batteries are viable today

• 10% of rooftop solar sold into wholesale grid daily• Most battery energy sold into wholesale grid daily• Owned by a large pension fund as the first of many

• eleXsysTM is creating a new $ Billion asset class

• Voltage issues make income streams variable and DER non bankable

• eleXsysTM fixes the voltage to deliver predicable income streams so investors can invest $B’s into DER

• Pension fund to finance $200m of similar projects • Planet Ark Power attains recurring annual license fees• Stage 2 not viable without eleXsysTM, which is:

• 3 MW solar car park cost effectively added due to eleXsysTM

Precincts like Ports run on Clean Energy

13

1B

eleXsysTM creates clean energy precincts with electrical energy flowing in all directions

• Excess rooftop solar, wind energy, tidal energy plus waste to energy, etc. can now be sold to high energy users in the precinct

• Radically reduces energy costs but also goes a long way to decarbonising the port

• Could generate 100% clean energy in the precinct• Plus excess clean energy can generate H2

• Plus decarbonisation of shipping – port becomes an electricity “recharging” station for ships

Replicable across ports globally and other one-way precincts

Precinct with one way electrical energy going

“only” inwards due to voltage issues

Excess rooftop solar cannot be sent to other

buildings in the precinct

So solar is sized for onsite self

consumption, with most of the roof

left empty


40% Savings in Data Centers - $ & GHG

14

1D

• Data Centers have same carbon footprint as aviation industry

• Data Centers growth is exponential – very significant contributor to Climate Change

• Consume 1/5th of Earth’s power By 2025

• If IT industry can halve carbon emissions in each of the next three decades, helps planet reach net zero by 2050

• The SiC basis of eleXsysTM makes it much smaller, more efficient and less heat

• With eleXsysTM far less floor space, replace multiple power electronic devices with one eleXsysTM unit, reduce HVAC, reduction in battery sizes, etc

Data centres account for 2% of total GHG emissions

In 2016, global data centres used more than Britain’s

total electricity consumption

Replicable across 500,000 Data Centers globally - expected to double in number


Urban PPA’s for GW of Clean Energy

15

1E

Corp. PPA

Corporations can purchase Rooftop Solar Farm energy to be Net ZERO

• Corporations globally are rushing to buy clean energy from solar & wind farms

• But that will run out soon - not enough supply & $Trillions for transmission lines

• eleXsysTM can increase DER by up to 1,300% with no CAPEX cost to the grid

• Excess clean energy from rooftops can be purchased as Corporate PPA’s

Multisite businesses can buy excess clean energy between sites for Net ZERO & lower energy costs


Every Roof with Solar –create a 2-way grid

16

1F

Solar panels on every roof

Not possible without $Billions in distribution grid upgrades and raising prices

Distribution utilities globally set DER limit to 15% of substation equipment rating

With eleXsysTM install DER at up to 200% of the substation equip rating. Plus, onsite use

• Voltage issues will increase as more buildings install rooftop solar

• Higher DER causes inverters to power down and trip off

• Inverter tripping worsens payback (3-year payback becomes 5, 7 or 9 years)

• Only need 5% of buildings with eleXsysTM to fix voltage issues in a whole suburb

• Up to a 1,300% increase in DER with no CAPEX cost to the grid with eleXsysTM

Aurecon report validates 1,300% increase in DER is possible with eleXsysTM


Makes “ Electrification of Everything’ viable

17

1G

Requires a 4 times increase in multidirectional electrical flow in suburbs

• With current technology the 4 x increase in electricity flow cost $ Trillions globally and significantly increases energy costs

• With eleXsysTM and demand reduction the capital cost should be very minimal and almost no energy price increases

To decarbonise we must electrify everything – from HVAC to transport
