ThinkCleantech Banking Notes from ThinkEquity Solar & Efficiency Research Analyst, Colin Rusch
ƒ We see power management and power delivery as critical areas for improvement as
Joe Dews (415) 249-6392 renewable energy technologies gain share in the electrical infrastructure world-wide.
Managing Director, Head of Cleantech
jdews@thinkequity.com ƒ As energy needs from data centers increase, and as machines increase in complexity,
requiring varied voltage levels for the performance of their operations, power conversion
Warren Jones (415) 249-6923 devices need to be able to channel needed power to all the elements of a circuit board
Director, Cleantech efficiently (largely by managing the voltage of the power flow).
wjones@thinkequity.com
ƒ We believe solar industry growth is based on global subsidies. We expect the solar industry
Bryan Dow (415) 249-6921 to undergo lumpy growth over the next several years as major subsidy programs are revised,
Vice President, Cleantech
notably in Italy and Germany.
bdow@thinkequity.com
ƒ We believe that the solar industry has a limited amount of low-cost, vertically integrated
crystalline-silicon manufacturing capacity available. Taking into account capacity expansion
announcements since August 2009, we believe this capacity amounts to 6-6.5GW in
aggregate. We believe these manufacturers and their suppliers will continue to expand
ThinkCleantech M&A capacity throughout 2011 in an attempt to gain market share.

Robin Graham (415) 249-6391


Managing Director, Co-Head of M&A Notes from ThinkEquity Green Industrial & Environmental Analyst, Shawn Severson
rgraham@thinkequity.com
ƒ With industrial applications accounting for nearly 60% of water use in high-income countries,
we believe it is easy to see that growing industrial activity around the world will push demand
for water. As developing nations modernize, it is fair to say that industrial activity will follow
and pressure resources further.
ThinkCleantech Research
ƒ Although some water resources might be saved via awareness, we believe it would only
Colin Rusch (212) 468-7015 make a small dent in the overall increase in demand and a real solution requires access to
Solar & Grid Modernization Analyst new sources such as SWRO and a concerted global effort to implement available
crusch@thinkequity.com conservation technologies.
Shawn Severson (415) 249-1986 ƒ Along with the overall population growth, the portion of the global community emerging into
Green Industrial & the middle class will increase considerably and so will its water consumption on a per-capita
Environmental Analyst basis, in our view.
