§ Space Solar Cells
 § Highest efficiency commercially available space solar cells in the
 industry
 § Currently offer six generations of space solar cell with minimum
 average efficiency of 27.0% to 29.5%
 § Lowest solar cell mass of 84 mg/cm2 and are fully space-
 qualified with proven flight heritage
§ Satellite Solar CiC Assemblies
 § Highest efficiency commercially available CiCs in the industry
 § Extensive flight heritage for LEO, MEO, GEO and interplanetary
 missions
§ Satellite Solar Panels
 § Fully tested and wired for integration into solar array assemblies
 § Manufactured and tested per mission profile requirements in a
 modern Class-10,000 clean room manufacturing high-bay under
 continuous temperature and humidity environmental control
Overview of Space Solar Products

§ Current Status
 § Significant improved financial performance through cost reductions
 § Robust visibility: $126M new orders booked in 2009
 § Strong position (with >50% market share) to serve the commercial satellite markets
 § Outstanding reliability tracking record (zero failure for over 70 launched missions) and
 customer recognition (numerous supplier excellence awards)
§ Growth Strategy
 § Expand government and defense programs through establishment of Trusted Supplier Status
 § Provide more value added products to customers, e.g., solar panels instead of solar cells
 § Develop other applications enabled by the high efficiency of multi-junction solar cells
§ Major Customers
Industry Leader within Space Market

§ CPV's energy production is directly
 related to the amount of DNI available
§ To capture DNI, CPV systems require 2-
 axis tracking to remain in direct line of
 sight with the sun
§ “Sweet spots” for CPV products are
 geographic areas with optimal DNI
 conditions and/or attractive incentive
 programs such as Spain, Italy, China,
 India, Australia, UAE and southwestern
 U.S. states

CPV Solar Cells - 60 1x1 cm2
solar cells on a 4” wafer
CPV Solar Cell Receiver - 1x1 cm2 cell
mounted on a heat sink with electric
connectors and a by-pass diode
Gen-III CPV Module - 15 1x1 cm2 CPV
solar cells integrated with 1,090X Fresnel
lens, producing 450W power
Gen-III CPV System - 36 CPV modules on
a tilt-and-roll tracker producing 16.2 kW power
• System operating on sun for approximately 7 months
• Ramping up production tooling and qualification (IEC,
CEC)
• Very competitive cost platform allowing pricing against
silicon and thin film in areas with high DNI
• Clear roadmap for continued cost reductions through
increases in cell efficiencies, material costs, and system
optimization

Key Advantages of CPV Technology
Module Efficiency
§ EMCORE Solar's leading efficiencies increase energy density, which lowers
 per watt land acquisition costs
§ EMCORE Solar’s capex expansion costs are a fraction of competitive
 technologies
