Solarmer Energy, Inc. Solarmer Energy, Inc. is a developer of flexible, transparent

plastic solar panels which generate low-cost, clean energy from

the sun. These solar panels will transform the renewable energy

industry, because they have the potential to drive the cost down

to 12-15 cents/kWh and less than $1/Watt. This is the first solar

technology capable of generating electricity on par with

conventional fuel costs.

As a result of this cost advantage and the other features and benefits of Solarmer’s solar panels, this technology

can open up applications that are not addressable by existing solar technology today. As a result of the light

weight, flexibility, attractiveness and low cost, they can be incorporated into any portable device or material that

requires power. The most valuable long term commercial application, however, is power windows (windows

capable of turning light into energy). This technology has the potential to move the effort for net zero power

buildings forward tremendously. The flexibility of the technology will also allow for use in smart fabrics, which

can provide power to individuals through clothing, tents, umbrellas, etc.

Solarmer is completing their pilot manufacturing line to demonstrate high throughput and low cost production of

its plastic solar panels. Production samples will be available early 2010, with our product launch following in the

1st Quarter of 2011.

Solarmer was founded in 2006 to commercialize this

technology, which was first developed by Professor

Yang Yang at the California NanoSystems Institute at

UCLA. The company licensed this technology from

UCLA and additional key technology developed by

Professor Luping Yu at the University of Chicago.

Solarmer was founded on the principle that there must be a better way to provide energy to consumers for everyday use. Better, renewable, cost effective, cleaner and wireless energy. Our company strives to provide power anytime, anywhere, to anyone with minimal impact on the environment.

The Technology Solarmer’s innovative photovoltaic technology is based on a

special class of plastics - conjugated polymers, which were

discovered to have electrical conductivity in the 1970s. Since

then, these polymers have been used for various electronic

and optical devices such as light emitting diodes, thin-film

transistors, memory devices, and photovoltaic cells. Plastic

solar panels, based on such conjugated polymers, are also

referred to as organic solar panels or organic photovoltaics.

Some of the advantages of plastic solar panels over their

traditional inorganic counterparts include, low cost of

manufacturing, flexibility, easy processing over large areas,

variety of colors and transparency, light weight, customizable

shapes and sizes, easy integration, better performance in low

light, and newer materials with optimized energy band-gaps

for higher efficiency.

Applications Solarmer’s plastic solar panels will be the next generation of

solar technology, creating new markets that are not currently

addressable with conventional silicon solar panels. While

providing key attributes and convenience, plastic solar panels

are much more cost effective than silicon solar panels. The

following are Solarmer’s 3 major applications areas:

• Portable Electronics

• Smart Fabrics

• Building Integrated Photovoltaics
