What is Bosch doing to protect the environment?

Environmental management to ISO 14001 at all manufacturing sites
• Heat recovery
• Reduction of water consumption / waste
• Power-saving measures
• Use of solvents phased out
• Similar requirements made of suppliers
Some 45 percent of our research and

development expenditure goes into
products that protect the environment and
conserve resources. In 2008 alone, this
amounted to more than 1.5 billion euros.

Crystalline Product Segment – Solar Cells

 Products: Multi- und monocrystalline solar cells with high efficiencies of
up to 17.5% (mono) and 16% (multi);  currently approximately 90%
share of monocrystalline cells
 Bosch Solar Energy monocrystalline cells are widely recognized as
some of the most efficient on the market; monocrystalline cells perform Bosch Solar Cell
better compared to same size multicrystalline cells (higher efficiency) M 3BB
 Very good low-light performance due to deployment of high quality laser

for edge isolation
 Industry-leading cost-performance ratio with strong focus on cost
degression thanks to progress in technology, integrated business model
and economy of scale. Cell thickness of ~ 180 μm and below for
maximum silicon yields

Solar Energy
Crystalline Product Segment – Modules

 Photovoltaic modules based on high-efficiency mono-
and multicrystalline silicon solar cells in the size
156mm x 156 mm
 High efficiency and excellent value for money.
 High efficieny per module due to predominant use of
monocrystalline solar cells (up to 240 Wp/ 17.0% cell
and 14.6% module)
 High product quality according to European quality
standards
 High annual return: very good low-light performance
 Safe and easy installation: TÜV certified modules and
good mechanical stability due to deployment of high-
quality materials
 Designed primarily for use in grid-connected systems
and decentralized supply systems
Solar Energy
Crystalline Product Segment

Expansion of development activities
 Start of operations of the first expansion stage of the R&D Technical Centre for the
development of crystalline silicon solar cells in the first quarter of 2009; start-up of
the second expansion stage with the integration of additional facilities planned for
the second half of 2009
 Establishment of a new research and development

centre at Arnstadt to integrate R&D activities in the
Ingots, Wafer, Solar Cells and Photovoltaic Modules
sectors. Ready for occupancy in the second half of
2010
 Reinforcement of the development team. Goal:
optimization of quality and cost effectiveness in all
manufacturing stages
Solar Energy
Thin-film Product Segment - Modules

 Thin-film technology as an additional technology to
crystalline photovoltaics
 Low silicon material consumption (<1% of conventional
product) opens up additional growth path and cost
reduction potential on longer term
 Application: large-scale free field and roof installations,
pollutant-free material
 Good low-light performance and good use of light
throughout the day
 Installation: minor mounting effort due to application of
standard components (4 point clamping)
 January 2009: Bosch Solar Module a-Si plus with
hardened front panel
 July 2009: micromorph thin-film module Bosch Solar
Module μm-Si goes into series production

Pilot project: Rooftop solar power plant on Bosch

parking structure
 Construction on a 955 kWp rooftop photovoltaic plant on the Bosch
parking structure at New Trade Fair Centre, Stuttgart/Germany
 4,247 monocrystalline solar modules extending over an area of about
7,000 sqm will be generating 870,000 kW/h of “green” electricity per
year
 Solar power plant will cover annual energy demand of about 250
four-person households
