Installed PV base > 100 GW by year-end 2012 (+42% new installed capacity in 2012) High demand of end installed base confirms the positive trend for PV Europe represents about 55% of newly installed PV capacity in 2012 (2011: 70%)

→ Market to become broader and more global Increased number of countries that want to start PV production

Strong increase of globally installed PV base – End user market

Development of market – where will the PV journey lead

8

Global PV market continues to grow Renewable energy requires new business models for

energy providers and distributors Mature PV volume markets like China, Taiwan,

Europe are recovering, slowly increasing production capacities by using upgrade technologies like Diamond Wire in wafering or iPerc in coating and 5 Busbars in module technologies

New, emerging markets are seeking highly integrated production lines to manage their local growing energy demand1)

– India 20 GW until 2022 – Thailand 2 – 8 GW until 2020 – Vietnam 8 GW until 2030 – Brazil > 4 GW until 2020 – Saudi Arabia 16 GW until 2030

New technologies like Heterojunction in coating, Diamond Wire in wafers and SmartWire Connection technology in module are key

Global Sales – System and line concept

13

Module Line Open the market globally based on smart wire and conventional (iPERC) technologies and enable a local, decentralised production following “pull activities”. Cell Line Focus on integrated HJT lines, with focus on emerging and other new markets. Wafer Line Focus on mono-n-type line, based on DW-Technology as a pre-stage to HJT-cell line. Fully integrated production line For special new markets. Turn-key if possible as cooperation partner. Integrated lines address new customers in emerging markets and in mature markets for customers with high integration requirements.

Operating income after costs of products and services

Large proportion of sales derived from orders

that were negotiated with customers and produced prior to 2012

Hence, margin «only» 2 percentage points below previous year, despite the difficult market situation

Decrease in margin mainly due to close-out agreements

Roth & Rau companies fully consolidated for the 12 months period in 2012 (previous year only fully consolidated as of 9 August 2011). This also lead to slightly lower margin in 2012
