The power of solar is only

as strong as the team behind it.

How can we generate electricity in a way that’s

reliable, cost-effective and environmentally

sustainable? Answering this question is the challenge

of our time. As the leading global pure-play solar

downstream company with focus on project business

with development capital, engineering, procurement

and construction as well as operation and

maintenance services and global distribution

businesses – Conergy will lead you to success.

As a solar pioneer, our focus has been on the sun right

from the start. Every day the sun provides us with more

energy than we can use – energy that is clean and

free. And it will continue to do so for millions of years.

We are delighted the world is embracing a new

direction in energy generation moving away from

nuclear and fossil fuels, in line with the Conergy

vision. Drawing on our extensive expertise, we are a

team with a pioneering spirit dedicated to engineering

solar solutions. This motivates us every day to

develop high performance solar systems that improve

our customer’s bottom line. Not just with interesting

innovations but also with a forward thinking mind-set

that guides them every step of the way. Working

together we’ll transform solar power into the

cornerstone of tomorrow’s power supply.

Enjoy! Your Conergy Team.

Conergy – one of the largest

solar downstream companies in the world

| Conergy is a global pureplay solar downstream company with 350 employees and presence in 11 countries.

| Conergy is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, where core competencies and central functions reside.

| Conergy’s core businesses are late stage development (“Project Development”), engineering, procurement and

construction (“EPC”) and ongoing operation & maintenance of rooftop and ground-mount solar systems (“O&M”).

Conergy also has a significant solar equipment distribution business (“B2B”).

| Conergy is well positioned to remain a strong solar player through its global presence, strong sales & service

units and its highly regarded brand for quality and engineering competency.

| Kawa Capital Management (“Kawa”) completed the acquisition of Conergy’s downstream assets in multiple

stages in 2H 2013. In the acquisition all company debt was eliminated and loss making manufacturing units were

not purchased. As a result Conergy is among the most bankable private downstream solar companies, with over

US$60.0mm of book equity.

WHO WE ARE

Conergy has been selected by RWE Group to build a 37 MW solar farm

“It is the first time that utility company RWE has invested in British solar. It then plans to sell the solar farm after it is completed, which is expected to be towards the end of the summer, to Foresight Solar Fund Limited.”

“It will be funded by RWE Supply & Trading and is expected to save 16,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.”

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-27129065

“The 37-megawatt Kencot Hill Solar Farm, on a disused airfield in Oxfordshire, England, will be one of the country’s largest, providing about 10,000 households with electricity, Essen-based RWE said today in a statement.”

“The park is scheduled to start operating in late summer. RWE, providing financial and technical support, agreed to sell the facility to Foresight Solar Fund Limited (FSFL) once constructed, it said.”
