We sell investment opportunities to serious investors.
More specifically, the Business Development of highly
profitable SPV ventures in the PV industry.
The SPVs we provide are located in emerging PV markets
that are characterized by high FIT rates.
In addition, we offer turn-key EPC solutions for the SPVs
we offer to the market at competitive construction costs.
This means that our SPVs return exceptionally high ROI &
IRR rates. For example, in 2012, Greece returned 19% &
13% respectively.

24. Our point of interest
PV Business Opportunities
2-05-2012
25. Essentially, the firm operates across two broad business units in the PV Field:
a) Business Development & b) EPC Contracting.
Neon Energy gives investors the opportunity to invest in highly profitable PV projects in
international markets.
In addition, Neon Energy has the capability of servicing clients worldwide with its EPC
services via collaborations with local work-teams.
Neon Energy thinks globally by leveraging off its exceptional human resources. Its
management and executive team come from countries highly regarded for their
professionalism (USA, Australia, Germany, among others). This ensures that Neon Energy is
able to offer a level of professionalism that few firms in the industry can offer today. It is
this “international personality” that has driven the company’s “GLOBAL THINKING” and
has laid the foundations for a long-term, dynamic and promising potential for global reach.
The company issues a written guarantee concerning the energy output performance and
functionality of the PV system, throughout the entire lifespan of the investment. Neon
Energy has the capacity to do so as it collaborates with credible German companies of the
highest quality photovoltaic panels and inverters.

27. How do we intend to maintain growth?
Ambitions for expansion
2-05-2012
28. The group sees its expansion to emerging PV markets internationally as a key
driver for its continued growth and development.
This is driven by global policies concerning the development of the energy industry
worldwide:
The International Energy Agency has said that,
“the development of affordable, inexhaustible, and clean solar energy technologies will have
huge long-term benefits. It will increase countries’ energy security through reliance on an
indigenous, inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource, enhance sustainability,
reduce pollution, lower costs of mitigating climate change, and keep fossil fuel prices low – these
are global advantages.”

35. So, where to next?
The group’s plans for expansion aim to encourage further PV business growth in key
emerging PV markets:
Japan (2013) – this is in process having already established business interests.
USA (2014)
South Africa (2014)
Turkey (2014)

37. Japan To Install More Than 5 Gigawatts Of PV
Systems In 2013 – Overtaking Germany And The US
“The Japanese photovoltaic (PV) market is set to grow by 120 percent in 2013 and install more than 5
gigawatts (GW) of new capacity, according to a new report, “The PV Market in Japan,” from IMS
Research, now part of IHS Inc. (NYSE:IHS). Benefiting from the world’s most attractive PV incentive
policy, Japan’s solar market is currently booming, with installations expected to exceed 1 GW in the first
quarter alone, causing it to become the second largest market in 2013.”
- EQ International 20/3/13

38. Why Japan?
The decision to expand to Japan is driven by:
Expected phenomenal growth of the Japanese PV industry
Favorable RES policy incentivizing PV industry development and growth,
more specifically favorable FIT rates (currently ¥36/kWh after 5%
consumption tax with a stable tariff outlook, expecting only a slight decline
of up to 5% per annum until 2015)
Decreasing dependence on nuclear energy, with the announcement to close
down nuclear energy plants
The cost of construction is high in Japan, making Neon Energy increasingly
competitive
The high returns that an investment in Japan is expected to bring to
investors
The Japanese Electrical company is financially credible and stable, given the
strength of the Japanese economy, making PV investments secure
The fact that, over the coming years, most of the PV industry growth is
expected to take place outside of Europe- in particular in Asia, South Africa,
2-05-2012
Brazil and the USA, hence this represents a high growth region

- Turn-key solutions - First time entry into the Japanese Why should
you invest in
- As an attractive market & strong market

- Solid project experience
- Competitive construction costs Neon Energy’s

- Experienced team / PV know-how
- High level executives dispatched

- Local Japanese business in Japan

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
- Japan destined to be the next PV - Expected to be a highly
hot spot with a high FIT competitive market. Proximity to
- High local construction costs makes China poses an lnternational
Neon Energy more competitive Competitor threat
- As an emerging market, this means - Emphasis is placed on local
that local competitors do not yet content policies / localization
have the PV know how to match that - High level of patriotism and

41. Our short-term financial forecast for Japan?
In 2013, Neon Energy expects to achieve in Japan:
3.081.049€ (profits after tax)
19.980.690€ (annual turnover)
The above expected revenues are sourced from the construction
of a conservative estimate of 10MW SPV licenses
In 2014, the construction target is 138MW.
For 2015, the target increases to 252MW.
2-05-2012
Profits are expected to grow accordingly.
