Energy Generation and the Terawatt (TW) Challenge• Humanity uses 12 TW of power today
– 1 TW = 1,000 GW (Gigawatts)
• World will need 15 TW by 2012
• Only 5 known sources of energy are available on a TW scale*– Fossil fuels: Coal, oil, gas
– Nuclear fuels
– Solar• Only inherently distributed solution
• No fuel cost

Growing Competitiveness of Solar
Source: McKinsey.(1) kWh = kilowatt hour; kWp = kilowatt peak; TWh = terawatt hour; Wp = watt peak; the annual solar yield is the amount of electricity
generated by a south-facing 1 kW peak-rated module in 1 year, or the equivalent number of hours that the module operates at peak rating.(2) Tier 4 and 5 are names of regulated forms of electricity generation and usage.(3) Unsubsidized cost to end users of solar energy equals cost of conventional electricity.

In deregulated regions, fuel price depends on the marginal fuel

Discussion
Prices of the fuel type that sets the marginal price of electricity most impact electricity price
Natural gas sets the price for electricity in the Northeast, California, and Texas
This coincides with the regions with the highest average electricity prices and regions with deregulated markets

Trend to watch - Outsourcing
• iSuppli predicts over 1GW of modules will be produced by contract manufacturers
• Flextronics recently announced a number of major deals:– Q Cells – 200MW contract for production in Malaysia
– SunPower – 75MW contract for production in Milpitas
– Enphase – additional manufacturing contract added to existing relationship to build micro-inverters in Canada
• For mature technology:– Can reduce cost and CapEx
– Meets local manufacturing content guidelines • required for Ontario feed-in-tariff
