ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 22 Presentation Objectives Present a framework, proven in other high-technology industries, for assessing the opportunities, required resources, and complex, interrelated bottlenecks facing the solar industry and its role in building a Global Knowledge Society. Demonstrate how this framework can be applied to maximize solar industry value creation and its contribution to Sustainable Development. ­ Sustainable development is in itself a “killer application,” and ­ A major driver of the innovation necessary to achieve sustainability and a Global Knowledge Society ­ Sustainability will require limits on consumption but not Knowledge and a new focus on human well being and purpose as indicators of growth

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 33 Solar Industry Structural Evolution Industrial strategy is about structural evolution and market positioning to secure a sustainable competitive advantage. ­ Successful strategy for the U.S. Solar Industry, will be determined by actions of multiple factors, economic conditions, policies and programs. ­ Anticipating/envisioning the Solar Industry’s likely evolution and supporting actions can secure a sustainable competitive advantage. Ultimately, the Solar Industry will dwarf the Information, Communications Digital Technologies (ICT) industry, but the Solar Industry can benefit and learn from these industries’ characteristics: ­ Supporting structures for long-term growth, sustained profitability, & collective response to environmental, regulatory and other challenges ­ Global supply chains linked by industry-wide technology roadmaps, industry & environmental standards, manufacturing diagnostics, & other collective dependencies that accelerate technology transfer, reduce cost, & facilitate innovation. Need to explore, in collaboration with all stakeholders, how best to nurture and develop a supportive and collaborative Solar Industry.

Effect of Electrification on Birth Rate and Income About one quarter of the human race lives today without access (Inclusion Gap) to modern energy services, Information and Communications Digital Technologies (ICT). This energy and ICT Inclusion Gap tends to be greatest in those regions where population is growing most rapidly and would offer the greatest benefits.

Improving access to electricity and Information, Communications Digital Technologies (ICT) must play a central role in managing sustainable growth because: Electricity allows for diversity in primary energy supply, yet is an intrinsically clean energy carrier. It is generated at 60/50 Hz., but can be converted to any frequency in the spectrum: infrared, ultraviolet, and microwave. Electric services and ICT enable the modern technological innovation essential to human opportunity. Application of ICT will enable carbon emission reduction five times the size of the sectors own carbon footprint (Source: Smart 2020 Report), i.e., Decarbonization. Application of ICT would replace goods and services with virtual equivalence and also provide technology to enable energy efficiency in key opportunity areas – travel/transport, buildings, electric grids and industry systems, i.e., Dematerialization. Sustainability will require limits on consumption and a new focus on human well being and purpose as indicators of growth. Sustainability is defined as living in harmony with each other and our planet by experiencing freedom and prosperity on a global level. The Sustainability Challenge to the Global Knowledge Society

Kaya in a paper submitted to the IPCC Energy & Industry Subgroup, Paris, 1990. Numerical example: 2008 World Data (Source: US Energy Information Administration, www.EIA.gov) Where: C= CO 2 emissions [metric tons] E= Total Energy consumption [BTU] Y= Economic activity [$] P= Population [persons] An d: C/E= CO 2 Intensity of Energy [Metric tons/BTU] E/Y= Energy Intensity [BTU/$] Y/P= Economic Intensity = Per Capita GDP [$/person]

Global Environmental Dilemma: Projected (2008-2035) CO 2 Emission Levels and Associated Kaya Factors (World) The US Energy Information Agency (www.eia.gov) projects an ~1.5% average annual percent increase in world CO 2 emissions based on the above projected average annual percent changes for the 4 Kaya factors, through 2035.www.eia.gov Projection: 49% increase in 2008 world CO 2 emission levels by 2035. Most significant driver of growth in CO 2 emissions is economic output per capita (Y/P). ­ Governments generally pursue policies that increase Y/P. Population growth (P) is projected to increase everywhere except Japan & Russia. Energy Intensity (E/Y) is generally indicative of energy efficiency. CO 2 Intensity (C/E) is indicative of regional fuel source mix (renewables). Change in CO2 Emissions = Change in CO2 Intensity + Change in Energy Intensity + Change in Per Capita GDP + Change in Population +1.5% = -0.2% + -1.8% + +2.6% + +0.9% Opportunity for Technology

"Enabling Effect" of the ICT Industry: Projected Reductions in World Emissions (2008-2035) by ICT Enabled Innovations The projected annual average percent change (reduction) in the revised C/Y Kaya factor (through 2035) is computed to be ~-3.5% for the most optimistic ICT benefit (i.e., Smart 2020 Report). Using an equivalent 3-factor form of the differential Kaya relation and the current EIA projections (2008-2035) for annual average Per Capita Economic Activity (Y/P) growth (+2.6%) and Population (P) growth (+0.9%), yields a revised prediction of CO 2 emission growth through 2035...

Predicted Annual Average Growth (2008-2035) in World CO 2 Emissions Including Beneficial "Enabling Effect" of ICT Assuming the most optimistic predicted benefits due to the “enabling effect” of the ICT industry is realized, the differential form of the Kaya identity indicates essentially no (~0%) growth or increase in world CO 2 emissions (relative to 2008 levels) through 2035. This no growth/increase result is in contrast to the current EIA projection of a 49% growth/increase in world CO 2 emission levels by 2035 (relative to 2008). Change in CO 2 Emissions = Change in CO 2 Intensity of Economy + Change in Per Capita GDP + Change in Population ~0% = -3.5% + +2.6% + +0.9% Opportunity for Technology Change in CO 2 Emissions = Change in CO 2 Intensity + Change in Energy Intensity + Change in Per Capita GDP + Change in Population 4-factor Kaya Identity Equivalent 3-factor Kaya Identity

Maximizing benefits and speed of market adoption of “Dematerialization & Smart Solutions”, enabled by the ICT industry, should be a focus of global technology development & innovation to mitigate CO 2 emission levels. ICT is central to Energy Internet/Smart Grid that: Enable higher renewable energy market penetration (developed countries) Build demand for distributed generation based on ICT applications – telemedicine, entertainment, education, e-banking, …. (developing world) All scenarios predicting significant beneficial ICT “enabling effects” assume a 10X-50X increase in solar/PV electrical generating by 2035. Realizing the full potential of the ICT “enabling effect” depends, in part, on a rapidly accelerated development of the solar/PV industry. Need to explore, in collaboration with all stakeholders, how best to nurture and develop supportive & collaborative Solar Industry. Decisions made today will impact the efficiency, sustainability, & profitability of a Global Solar Industry over the next 10, 20, 50 years — as well as determine which countries will be its leaders, e.g. China, Japan, USA, Germany, Spain….

A Tool to Understand, Integrate and Evaluate Think of the portfolio of project activities at the system level as an interconnected set of functions that reinforce each other. Examine and understand the linkages and interactions between elements that comprise the entirety of the Solar Industry development system. Systems thinking shows how events that are separated in distance and time can interact and how the rules of the system drive system behavior. Small catalytic events, especially ones that change the rules, can cause large changes in complex systems. A goal of Systems Thinking is identifying “leverage” -- seeing where actions and changes lead to sustainable improvement.

Key Takeaways The world has not yet reached an equilibrium point in terms of population, economic growth, or environmental impact that can be called “Sustainable”, i.e., The balancing of human activity with the earth’s Carrying Capacity and living in harmony with each other and our planet by experiencing freedom and prosperity on a global level. We have the paradox of a unified global economy but divided global society which pose the single greatest threat to the planet because it makes difficult the cooperation needed to address the remaining challenges. The developed world has reached a critical point at which its future economic, environmental, and social health depends upon increasing the rest of the world’s access to clean, cost-effective energy, Information and Communications Digital Technologies (ICT). Electrification is the foundation for a global sustainable development strategy. Sustainable development is in itself a “killer application” and a major driver of the transition to the sustainable energy/information intensity economic era and the stabilization of GHG emissions. Sustainability is defined as living in harmony with each other and our planet by experiencing freedom and prosperity on a global level.

Ultimately sustainability is the rationale for PV and other renewable energy – otherwise fossil fuels could power the world economy, even with billions of new people, for many decades. There is a physical aspect to sustainability. There is a political aspect to sustainability. If the two do not connect, effectively, sustainability will only be a weak or non-existent leverage point for PV and other renewable energy. Sustainability does imply limits to consumption, but not limits to growth. There are no growth limits on Knowledge. Unlike other “killer applications” sustainability depends on people acting as a community to choose what is best for the future, rather than acting alone to choose what is easiest for themselves. Innovation is the best option for advancing sustainability. ­People who denied the decline in whales for whale oil in the 19th century and continued to invest in whaling ships went bankrupt. ­People who developed petroleum as a substitute and then found new uses for it beyond making lamp oil became billionaires. ­People who despaired of finding more whales to light their lamps ended up buying kerosene from the new petroleum barons. Sustainability – The “Killer Application” for PV and Other Renewables…. Or Not

This century’s most important lesson will be the value of Humility, Humanity, and Harmony in creating Global Knowledge Societies. Global Knowledge Societies live in Harmony with each other and our planet by experiencing freedom and prosperity on a global level. We express Humility, Humanity, and Harmony by respecting people (Tolerance) who are different from us and by respecting the environment which we so critically depend upon. The more we gain insight into the mysterious forces, cosmic and atomic, that are the universe, the more reason we have to be Humble and see there will always be things beyond our comprehension. The more we harness the huge power of these forces, the more Humility becomes an imperative; now that our ability to destroy ourselves is greater than our ability to understand ourselves. “Humility is nothing more than a man seeing himself as he truly is……. Any man who can see himself as he truly is…….. must surely be Humble indeed.” The Cloud of Unknowing, and Joseph Morabito, 2011

Conclusions Global access to reliable, affordable electricity is essential to insuring sustainable economic growth, protecting environmental assets and improving global health and prosperity Global electrification will require a combination of innovative new policies, finance mechanisms, infrastructure technology, in addition to ICT. Technology innovation can radically increase zero-carbon electricity generation technologies such as Solar, reduce energy intensity, minimize carbon intensity, while enhancing the quality of life and insuring sustainable economic development. Solar needs more resource investment upstream during the concept and exploration phases to introduce system-level considerations as early as possible. This can reduce the product development interval and facilitate technology transfer. Solar Industry Drivers should be considered in the context of Systems Thinking --- Solar Industry Supply-Chain Consortium, Energy Internet, Sustainable Development Electricity from renewable energy combined with ICT in grid operation and new services to consumers, can stabilize CO2 emissions and form the infrastructure for the transition to a globally sustainable energy system Today, we mainly define progress by new developments in technology and economic growth rather than by the broader notion of advancing human well being and “Human Purpose.” The highest leverage will come from strategies that inherently do both. This integration has the potential to expand technology and human development as two aspects of the same process. This integration offers Hope for the creation of a Global Knowledge Society.
