§Space Solar Cells

§Highest efficiency commercially available space solar cells in the
industry

§Currently offer six generations of space solar cell with minimum
average efficiency of 27.0% to 29.5%

§Lowest solar cell mass of 84 mg/cm2 and are fully space-
qualified with proven flight heritage

§Satellite Solar CiC Assemblies

§Highest efficiency commercially available CiCs in the industry

§Extensive flight heritage for LEO, MEO, GEO and interplanetary
missions

§Satellite Solar Panels

§Fully tested and wired for integration into solar array assemblies

§Manufactured and tested per mission profile requirements in a
modern Class-10,000 clean room manufacturing high-bay under
continuous temperature and humidity environmental control

Overview of Space Solar Products

§Current Status

§Significant improved financial performance through cost reductions

§Robust visibility: $126M new orders booked in 2009

§Strong position (with >50% market share) to serve the commercial satellite markets

§Outstanding reliability tracking record (zero failure for over 70 launched missions) and
customer recognition (numerous supplier excellence awards)

§Growth Strategy

§Expand government and defense programs through establishment of Trusted Supplier Status

§Provide more value added products to customers, e.g., solar panels instead of solar cells

§Develop other applications enabled by the high efficiency of multi-junction solar cells

§Major Customers

Industry Leader within Space Market

§CPV's energy production is directly
related to the amount of DNI available

§To capture DNI, CPV systems require 2-
axis tracking to remain in direct line of
sight with the sun

§“Sweet spots” for CPV products are
geographic areas with optimal DNI
conditions and/or attractive incentive
programs such as Spain, Italy, China,
India, Australia, UAE and southwestern
U.S. states

Key Advantages of CPV Technology

Module Efficiency

§EMCORE Solar's leading efficiencies increase energy density, which lowers
per watt land acquisition costs

§EMCORE Solar’s capex expansion costs are a fraction of competitive
technologies
