As part of our commitment to environmental excellence, Asian Energy looks at all stages of our product's using two key benchmarks:

• Carbon footprint - the amount of carbon dioxide emissions emitted over the life cycle of the product
• Energy payback time - the time it takes to generate the same amount of energy it took to produce the system

Asian Energy systems aims at the smallest carbon footprint and fastest energy payback in all technologies.

Asian Energy modules are currently available for residential and commercial applications of all sizes.

Asian Energy sells its commercial and industrial installations solar modules on a quoted installation basis.

Yes, Asian Energy offers the most cost effective solutions for utilities seeking to meet renewable energy standards. Please contact our sales and product management team for more information.

Asian Energy currently does not sell its products through distributors, resellers, or wholesalers.

Asian Energy sells its solar modules under long-term module supply contracts and provides comprehensive solutions to utilities seeking to meet their renewable energy requirements. We do not publish a price list for solar modules or solutions and do not disclose our pricing structure under long-term module supply contracts.

Asian Energy currently does offer this service using Neah Power Systems technology.

Asian Energy modules are engineered to their location.

Asian Energy provides a power output warranty for 25 years subject to terms and conditions and a materials and workmanship warranty for 5 years covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service conditions.

No, Asian Energy panels, like all solar panels, are not subject to the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which requires manufacturers of specific products to ensure the collection, recycling, and disposal of their products. Nor are solar panels subject to the EU Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), which restricts the use of any of the six substances1 in specific product categories. 1Lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

Asian Energy has identified the future inclusion of PV in the scope of WEEE and RoHS to be a business risk but the PV industry in Europe is working with legislators and other key stakeholders in the EU to ensure that PV continues to be excluded. In a legislatively mandated review process, the European Commission proposed a revision of both the WEEE and RoHS Directives on December 3, 2008. The revisions did not propose the inclusion of solar panels in the scope of the Directives. As part of the standard EU legislative process ("co-decision" making), the proposals are now being reviewed by the European Parliament and the European Council, which represents the 27 EU Member States (countries). A final legislative agreement on the Directives is not expected until 2011 at the earliest. The European Council and the European Parliament are currently considering an "open scope" approach to RoHS and WEEE under which all Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) products would be included in the scope of the Directives unless specifically excluded or exempted from coverage. As part of these discussions, exclusion for PV panels from both Directives is being considered. Including PV within the scope of RoHS would adversely impact the development and deployment of more cost-effective, environmentally beneficial PV technologies thus adversely impacting the EU's ability to achieve its climate and energy goals.

Asian Energy has long recognized the potential waste management issues when panels reach end-of-life and has a comprehensive, pre-funded collection and recycling program for all panels put on the market, regardless of geographic jurisdiction. Regarding WEEE, the PV industry has recognized that PV waste will eventually become an issue in Europe in some 10-15 years when larger volumes of panels start to reach their end-of-life. For this reason, the PV industry has initiated an industry-wide voluntary take-back and recycling scheme (PV CYCLE). During 2010, PV CYCLE will begin take-back and recycling in Germany, with other markets to follow, years before significant volumes of PV panels are expected to reach end-of-life. Regarding RoHS, PV solar panels produce electricity with no water use, no waste production, and no air emissions providing significant environmental benefits compared to traditional fossil-fuel technologies. Independent analysis has shown that the displacement of fossil fuels by PV can reduce air emissions by over 89% taking into consideration the entire life cycle impact, and also the fact that CdTe PV, a second generation PV technology, has the lowest environmental impact of any PV technology. CdTe PV has the smallest carbon footprint and the fastest energy payback time of current PV technologies, allowing thin film PV technologies such as CdTe to scale rapidly and to achieve carbon reductions faster than traditional silicon technologies. As a result, CdTe PV and other thin film PV technologies are indispensable to achieving the EU's renewable energy goals and thereby addressing climate change.
