The document discusses solar energy as a business prospectus. It outlines the benefits of solar including rising energy prices, environmental concerns, energy independence, and cost savings. The U.S. solar market saw 4,751 megawatts installed in 2013, worth $13.7 billion. Federal tax credits for solar remain through 2016. Zero Down Solar is highlighted as a leading residential solar provider in Hawaii that offers zero down financing options. The solar value chain and competing technologies like thin film and ribbon solar are also summarized.

1. Solar Energy as Business prospective

2. The BIG Idea
 Why solar?
 Rising energy prices and increased environmental concerns
are driving solar energy adoption.
 Renewable energies lessen dependence on foreign and fossil
fuel sources.
 Installing solar saves money on energy bills, and increases
property values.
 Solar installations have a life­cycle of 25­30 years.
 Boosts the economy by creating jobs for domestic
manufacturers and installers.

3. The U.S. is currently the third largest PV market in the world in 2014, and
poised for massive growth as the economy recovers, driven by falling
prices for solar products and government incentives at both the state
and federal level:
Business Opportunity
1) The U.S. installed 4,751 megawatts of PV, according to the Solar
Market Insight Year in Review report in 2013.
2) The market value of all PV installations completed in 2013 was
$13.7 billion.
3) The 30% federal tax credit has been extended through 2016 for
both commercial and residential PV installations.

4. The zero down solar ensures optimum energy generation out of the solar
panels with effective electricity saving and salutary environmental
impact, helping maintain ecological balance of the nature’s natural
phenomenons. Zero Down Solar(http://zerodown.solar/), one of
the finest full­service residential solar provider provides a hearty
customer experience and quality product assurance.
Business Unit (Zero Down Solar) Overview
1) Zero Down Solar is the leading full-service residential solar
provider headquartered in the Honolulu, Hawaii..
2) At ZERO DOWN SOLAR we represent the customer and
provide the best Zero Down, no loan, no deposit, no
installation fee Solar options available in the marketplace.

5. The Solar Value Chain
1. Silicon 2. Wafers
3. Cells
4. Modules5. Kits6. Systems
7. Recycling

6. Competing Technologies
 Thin Film:
 Primarily uses cadmium telluride (CdTe)
as semiconductor material.
 18% of PV product market in 2009.
 First Solar (China) module was #1 PV
product in 2009.
 43% of U.S. production was in thin cell
technology in 2007 (Jager-Waldau, 2008)
 Cheap to produce (>$1/W), but CdTe is
highly toxic and banned in the EU.

7. Ribbon:
Silicon is grown in thin two-
dimensional strips between two
ribbons to overcome inefficiency
of crystalline ingot production.
Evergreen is primary competitor
using ribbon technology.
Competing Technologies

8. Disruptive Technologies
 Concentrating Solar Power (CSP):
Uses mirrors and lenses to improve
power generation efficiency.
 Axis-tracking Systems: Rotates panels
on vertical and/or horizontal axis to
increase degree of insolation (i.e. sun
exposure).
 Electrochemical PV Cells: Possibly
cheaper to manufacture than silicon-
based technology, but efficiency and
durability not yet proven.
