Germany is a good example of rising energy costs: since 2006, the price of electricity has risen by an average of 4.8 % p.a.. The resulting additional costs pose a real economical challenge, particularly to medium-sized enterprises. Solar energy puts a hold on your ever increasing electricity costs, helps to save money in the long-term and improves your competitive position by offering cost advantages for periods of more than 20 years.

Rooftop system in Pasing, Germany – nominal power 1.2 MWp Rising electricity costs hamper your competitiveness Germany is a good example of rising energy costs: since 2006, the price of electricity has risen by an average of 4.8 % p.a., and the current situation is likely to get worse in the future. Experts anticipate annual electricity price increases of up to 5 %. The resulting additional costs pose a real economical challenge, particularly to medium-sized enterprises . As well as financial pressure, the continuous price increases also represent a critical planning uncertainty for your business. For commercial businesses it is therefore a good idea to obtain as little electricity as possible from the public power grid and focus instead on selfgenerated electricity for self-consumption. This ensures you have a long-term stable and cost-effective electricity price and will become more independent from your public energy supplier. Electricity price Electricity prices are currently at 15–19 euro cents* per kilowatt hour for medium-sized enterprises. Unlike in large companies and electricity intensive businesses, as a German mediumsized enterprise you do not have the opportunity to profit from low exchange electricity prices. 35 euro cents 30 euro cents 25 euro cents 20 euro cents 15 euro cents 1 2 Forecast 5 % increase in price of electricity Forecast 3 % increase in price of electricity 1 2 10 euro cents 10 euro cents (as at 01.05.2013) 5 euro cents Energy production costs for self-generated solar power 0 euro cents ’13 ’14 ’15 ’16 ’17 ’18 ’19 ’20 ’21 ’22 ’23 ’24 ’25 ’26 ’27 ’28 ’29 ’30 ’31 ’32 Source: BDEW and IBC SOLAR AG Electricity price development forecast for medium-sized enterprises** ** The example is based on German electricity prices. ’33 Year *All price and cost indications in this brochure are net. 2

Photovoltaics guarantees you stable and low electricity prices With a photovoltaic system from IBC SOLAR, you can easily produce the electricity you need for your company yourself – at a fixed price. Selfconsumption is therefore an economically attractive alternative to conventionally generated electricity from your energy supplier. What actually is self-consumption? We talk about self-consumption when self-generated electricity is consumed immediately and directly at the site where it is produced. The specific selfconsumption rate depends on the individual load profile – how much a company consumes – up to 100 % is possible. Electricity cost security for at least 20 years Photovoltaics is an investment that pays off. The prices of components have fallen sharply in recent years, meaning that investment costs have become considerably lower. However, the key savings potential lies in the favourable and steady electricity production costs over the years to come. Secure yourself low electricity costs for the next 20 years with an investment in a photovoltaic system. One kilowatt hour (kWh) of self-produced solar power currently costs on average 10 euro cents. The level of electricity procurement costs means that it is worth generating and consuming your own electricity with a photovoltaic system. GOOD TO KNOW: Electricity at a reasonable fixed price and attractive system prices make self-consumption of solar energy a sustainable, profitable investment. 3
