4. The average American household doesn’t mine coal. It doesn’t refine oil into gasoline. But the sun shines on the roof every single day. Solarity allows any consumer with a roof to collect that energy to reduce their utility bills and reduce overall carbon emissions. Solarity is Airbnb for Solar About us 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
5. In longstanding "hockey stick" controversy, scientists conclude post-1980 global warming was unprecedented for centuries or more. =>Modern temp's The rise could not be attributed to changes in solar energy. =>Solar variation "An Inconvenient Truth" documentary persuades many but sharpens political polarization. 2006-2007 Fourth IPCC report warns that serious effects of warming have become evident; cost of reducing emissions would be far less than the damage they will cause. Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and Arctic Ocean sea-ice cover found to be shrinking faster than expected. 2007-2008 Many experts warn that global warming is arriving at a faster and more dangerous pace than anticipated just a few years earlier. Excerpts from stolen e-mails of climate scientists fuel public skepticism. Copenhagen conference fails to negotiate binding agreements: end of hopes of avoiding dangerous future climate change. 2009-2010 Controversial "attribution" studies find recent disastrous heat waves, droughts, extremes of precipitation, and floods were made worse by global warming. 
 Mean global temperature is 14.6°C, the warmest in thousands of years. Level of CO2 in the atmosphere reaches 397 ppm, the highest in millions of years. 2011-2013 timeline About us 2 3 4 5 6 7 1

9. What we do ; We’ve successfully built a completely new kind of consumer solar panel that we install and maintain. The consumer doesn’t have to do anything. I We’ve already licensed our technology to over 200 local home builders in California and Arizona and we’re on track to double our licensing in 2015. We train consumers on the benefits of solar and how to treat and maintain their rooftop solar panels. h q Through innovative partnerships with Tesla, Toyota and GE, Solarity customers will be able to sell excess energy to companies who need it. Z We have successfully worked with local, state and federal governments to influence solar energy policy, subsidies and tax incentives for consumers.

11. Our trained sales staff installs solar panels on our customers’ rooftops. INSTALL We analyze the data to better understand solar energy patterns and trends. understand We allow customers to see a dashboard of the energy they’ve produced and sell it back to companies who need it. INCENTIVIZE o G Ä We constantly iterate on the model and look for new ways to serve both the consumer and energy buyer. IMPROVE By knowing where the most solar energy is produced, we can optimize for growth. INNOVATE Airbnb connected travelers and hosts. We’re connecting consumers who can generate solar energy with companies who need it. results a ! " THE SIX PHASES P R O C E S S 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
