50 states by 1996
• 59 centers with over 370 field locations
• System wide, Non-Federal staff is over 1,450
• Contracting with over 2,190 third party service providers
• Partnership Model –Federal/State/Industry
• Emphasis on performance – program and center –
measured based upon impact of center services on
client firms
www.theCEMC.com
What NIST MEP Does• Focus on meeting manufacturer’s short term needs, but in context
of overall company strategy
• NIST MEP Center areas of common strength:– Engineering Services for products and processes
– Growth Services
– Lean Manufacturing
– Quality Systems
– Environmental Services
– Workforce Development
• Reach nearly 33,000 manufacturing firms and complete over 10,000 projects per year*
* Based on FY2009 NIST MEP Center reported performance data

Unique Attributes of
Wind Industry
• Technology has matured in Wind industry
with the 1.25 – 3 MW tower mounted
turbines
• Several large European OEM’s drive the
market
• Warrantee requirements along with high
maintenance costs drive strict quality
requirements for industry
www.theCEMC.com
Solar Industry is Different
• Technology still developing
• Market is still evolving
• Suppliers and Solar companies enter and
exit the market continuously
• Cost / megawatt is still high relative to
wind
www.theCEMC.com
Market Overview
• Three (3) distinct Market Sectors
Residential – less than 10kW
Commercial – 10kW to 1MW
Utility – greater than 1MW

Taxonomy
• Solar warranty structures are tiered in
nature. An example might be:• Guaranteed to produce 95% rated output for 5
years +
• A Guarantee to produce 90% rated output for 12
years +
• A Guarantee to produce 80% rated output for 25
years.
The industry demands quality if to dispel the
historic stereotype of being a bit gimmicky!

Market Character Very Global Regional Local
Cost ~$0.80 per watt peak ~$4.20 per watt peak
• The manufacturing of panels may become more regional as freight
becomes larger portion of cost
• Cost pressure on the Poly / Ingot / Cell manufacturers has driven
costs to industry competitive point
• System assembly and installation costs still keep solar market from
being cost competitive
• This represents opportunity in the system assembly and
installation categories
www.theCEMC.com
Competitive Solar Prices
Something has to change
1. Cost of all other energy
options must rise to the level
of solar
2. Solar costs must come down
to the level of the market
3. Other…

Opportunities
• Raw Materials
– Materials such as structural’s are often
procured near the final installation site due to
the associated logistics costing.
• Installation Materials
– Fabrications associated with final installations
are often procured near the final installation
site.
www.theCEMC.com
Raw Material Opportunities
• Raw Materials
– Steel, aluminum and stainless steels in there un-processed forms including angle, channel, wide flange beam, bar stock & plate.
– Fasteners & fastening systems.
– Materials of an aggregate nature including rock, stone, gravel, cement.
www.theCEMC.com
Installation Opportunities

www.theCEMC.com
Opportunities
• Technology associated items such as
those associated with the rapidly
developing inverter or panel /
module markets where partially
completed product is imported and
final assembly is performed on US
soil.
www.theCEMC.com
Opportunities & Challenges
• American Manufacturers can enter Solar market with new and innovative solutions to lower total installed cost of Solar Systems
• However, American Manufacturers need to be able to find customers
• Installers, OEM’s and upper tier suppliers need to be able to find new technologies and new vendors
www.theCEMC.com
Moving Forward• A basic taxonomy was developed to help
manufacturers identify opportunities
• An assessment tool was developed to objectively critique a manufacture's strengths and weaknesses in the Solar Market and continues refinement to this day
• A Solar Manufacturing Capabilities matrix was developed to characterize a supplier’s position within the industry
• This matrix allows a manufacturer to easily identify areas of improvement and areas of strength
• The matrix also allows companies to characterize “good fit” vendors and customers
www.theCEMC.com
Solar Supply Chain Tool• Took industry best practices
– U.S. Department of Defense
– MEP System
– Wind Supply Chain.
• A set of objective eyes are
required
• CEMC
• MEP
• others
• Assessment made in several key
areas
• Commercial and Financial
Stability
• Product Design
• Manufacturing Process
• Quality
• Supply Chain
• Global Competiveness
• Areas of improvement and
opportunity identified
• Matchmaking
• MEP Engagement
• Growth
