Preamble

RSS is planning to enter into a solar technology partnership with SES.

The purpose of the partnership is to provide long-term support to SES for all its activities relating to the production of modules using RSS solar cells and the implementation of photovoltaic projects.

In order to be able to serve the local Swiss markets and offer added value to the financial customers, the production headquarters must be in Geneva.

Partnership

RSS will deliver solar cells to SES at competitive prices. Prices will be set so as to allow SES to produce modules for a sale price of 3.00 euros / Wp, if SES can laminate the modules at competitive costs.

The target volume for this commercial relationship will be 1 MW per year. Terms and conditions (prices, payment, timeline) are to be established.

In addition to supplying solar cells, RSS will also be available as a consultant in connection with the marketing of the photovoltaic modules.

Advertising

the name “RWE SCHOTT Solar” will be used in advertising material written to demonstrate the quality of the solar cells used in the photovoltaic modules,

 

SES’s stationary (letterhead, etc.) will say “Partner of RWE SCHOTT Solar”,

 

the photovoltaic modules developed will be labeled “manufactured by SES – Made in Switzerland”.
