Price collection definitions/parameters (Overview) PRELIMINARY ,[object Object]
Price points are collected from Asian, European and US producers based on transactions into Asian, European and US markets.
Period average prices are reported as the simple average of all collected price points over that time period, though an effort is made to match the geographic share of data points to global market share
Currency:
Price points are collected/captured in whatever currency they are offered by survey respondents. Conversions to USD are based on real-time exchange rate on the day the transaction is reported.
Data sources:
The significant majority of reported price points come from primary research/interviews with market participants.
These price points are routinely verified against/augmented by pricing information reported in trade/business/popular press, company presentations and earnings transcripts, and other public data sources.
Prices are taken from both actual transaction price points as well as from current offers.
What’s included in prices:
VAT / sales tax: Prices are typically reported exclusive of VAT/sales tax. Exceptions to this are reported as such.
Shipping: Prices are typically reported FOB end-customer port of entry. Exceptions to this are reported as such.
Definition of “factory-gate”:
The module price received by the producer whether a module is sold to a distributor or directly to a large installer (i.e. the price Trina receives from IBC).
Definition of “wholesale”:
The module price received by the distributor when a module is sold to an installer (i.e. the price IBC receives when selling a Trina module to a small installer in Germany).2 Source: PHOTON Consulting, LLC.

CONFIDENTIAL info@photonconsulting.com 31 Project announcement tracking methodology (Overview) PRELIMINARY ,[object Object]
Only flat-panel and flexible film photovoltaic announcements are reported
CSP or CPV not included
Data sources
All reported projects come from either primary public sources such as company presentations and earnings transcripts or secondary public sources such as trade/business/popular press
Public announcements frequently do not contain specific information regarding module manufacturer or system installer.  When explicit, we provide these details
To avoid potential confusion:  Private/confidential data are not included in these estimates
Volume
Project sizes are captured either explicitly from an announcement or implicitly from secondary information provided in the announcement, such as aggregate project investment or expected output (kWh/year) of the system (labeled as “Estimate”)
Project announcement classifications
Photovoltaic installations and supply agreements
Company guidance, specific to installation volume or revenue from installations
Utility and government RFP’s (if the technology is determined to be PV)
Various government subsidy programs
Caveats
Many announced projects may not come to completion as they have not necessarily received financing, PUC approval or zoning approval
Private/confidential sources typically add significantly to the overall volume of projects that we track but are not reported
Rigorous tracking process began in mid-2008.  By late-2009, refined data and historical tracking of completions are planned.
Weekly installation volumes tend to be “noisy.”  We recommend looking at trend at monthly intervals
Value
Aggregated announcement volumes are not proportional to true installation volumes.  Rather trends in announcement volumes – especially monthly averages – are a more reliable lead indicator of module demand and end customer appetite for downstream PV projects
Update schedule
The next version of this deck will be posted on Friday, May 7, 2010 by 8pm EST.2 Example Illustrative data Source: PHOTON Consulting, LLC. Note: All data are rough estimates. Consistent methodology for  collecting/reporting PV project announcements

  • 50. Only flat-panel and flexible film photovoltaic announcements are reported
  • 51. CSP or CPV not included
  • 53. All reported projects come from either primary public sources such as company presentations and earnings transcripts or secondary public sources such as trade/business/popular press
  • 54. Public announcements frequently do not contain specific information regarding module manufacturer or system installer. When explicit, we provide these details
  • 55. To avoid potential confusion: Private/confidential data are not included in these estimates
  • 57. Project sizes are captured either explicitly from an announcement or implicitly from secondary information provided in the announcement, such as aggregate project investment or expected output (kWh/year) of the system (labeled as “Estimate”)
  • 59. Photovoltaic installations and supply agreements
  • 60. Company guidance, specific to installation volume or revenue from installations
  • 61. Utility and government RFP’s (if the technology is determined to be PV)
  • 64. Many announced projects may not come to completion as they have not necessarily received financing, PUC approval or zoning approval
  • 65. Private/confidential sources typically add significantly to the overall volume of projects that we track but are not reported
  • 66. Rigorous tracking process began in mid-2008. By late-2009, refined data and historical tracking of completions are planned.
  • 67. Weekly installation volumes tend to be “noisy.” We recommend looking at trend at monthly intervals
  • 68. Value
  • 69. Aggregated announcement volumes are not proportional to true installation volumes. Rather trends in announcement volumes – especially monthly averages – are a more reliable lead indicator of module demand and end customer appetite for downstream PV projects
