1. Blue Sky Energy, Inc. Leaders in Solar Charge Controller and MPPT Technology August 2013
2. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 2 Our Mission  To enhance off-grid solar projects through superior technology  15 years of developing leading MPPT technology  First manufacturer to produce commercially available solar charge controllers  Proud to manufacture in the USA Our Background
3. The Problem We Solve
4. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 4 Inherent Power Losses  A system where a solar array powers a load and charges a battery is limited by the weakest component  Batteries only accept a fraction of the voltage a solar panel produces, leading to wasted electricity Wasted Power
5. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 5 Waste and Workarounds  Wasted power can be up to 30% of a system’s potential output  To compensate for these inefficiencies, an off-grid system requires more solar modules and batteries and creates a more complicated system  The impact of inefficiencies to system size are:  Larger size  Increased weight  Harder installation  Increased waste  Higher cost
6. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 6 Power Recovered MPPT is the Solution  Blue Sky Energy’s patented technology corrects the amount of power production from solar panels and the amount a battery can absorb through Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)  Our MPPT charge controllers boost power harvesting by up to 30% more
7. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 7 How MPPT Works  Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology is used to extract the maximum possible power from a solar module by correcting for voltage mismatch between the module and the battery
8. An Example: How to Harvest 1,500 kWh per year
9. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 9 Grid‐Tied System 1.5kW solar array ~1,500 kWh per year
10. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 10 A 1.5kW solar array generates ~1,000 kWh per year Voltage mismatch can make the system lose 30% of its energy production Battery‐Tied System and Problems
11. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 11 Add More Modules and Batteries  A 2 kW solar array generates ~1,500 kWh per year Without an MPPT controller, a system owner will need:  500W of extra modules  35 square feet more space  84 lbs added weight PLUS  Additional balance of system components The Standard Solution
12. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 12 Add a Blue Sky Energy MPPT charge controller  For a 1.5kW solar array to produce ~ 1,500 kWh per year MPPT The MPPT Solution
13. Install additional modules and batteries at $$$ Two Options Add a 9 lb. Blue Sky Energy MPPT solar charge controller at a nominal cost OR
14. How We Do It

18. ©2013 Blue Sky Energy, Inc. | Blue Sky Energy Confidential 18 Customers Say… Blue Sky Energy has served the RV, marine, lighting, load control, security, and military customers for almost two decades. Here’s some feedback we’ve gotten along the way:  “We have thoroughly tested the unit at 120k ft. altitude pressures and from -40° to +60°C. We have subjected the input to over 110 volts input, which our panels could output during the -90° temperatures encountered during ascent. The unit performed flawlessly.” – Warren Harkey Sr. Engineer Physical Science Laboratory / National Scientific Balloon Facility  “Five years ago I installed a solar panel, a Solar Boost 2000 and two golf cart batteries. Since then, thanks to the Solar Boost, I have had plenty of trouble-free electricity. The Solar Boost is a fantastic instrument, charging the batteries in all climates even with 2 to 3 inches of snow on the solar panel.” – Dan Piercey, Motorhome enthusiast  “My Solar Boost 50 charge controller has been working perfectly for more than 13 years.” – Windy Dankoff, Founder of Dankoff Solar Products
