  1. ThermoNeutronics, LLC featuring energy solutions for tomorrow…Generation III Integrated Energy Technologies Property of ThermoNeutronics, LLC

  2. The Challenge … Property of ThermoNeutronics, LLC

  3. If there is one term that defines the future of solar and related clean energy systems, the term is“HIGH GROWTH” Property of ThermoNeutronics, LLC

  4. The Evolving Solar Business • Generation I (today) Silicon solar cells and conventional batteries • Generation II (today and tomorrow) Printable CIGS cells, improved battery systems, etc. • Generation III (tomorrow) High performance, economical printable CNT / batteries with integrated thermoneutronics and thermal circuitry that can compete with fossil fuel energy and displace conventional grid power Property of ThermoNeutronics, LLC

  5. Program GoalCapitalize on existing R&D to develop a series of high performance prototype integrated energy modulesthat can be scaled and used for various applications Property of ThermoNeutronics, LLC

  6. Technical ObjectiveRather than developing a specific device for a specific application, we are developinga series of generic modules that can be scaled, configured, and utilizedin multiple, widespread applications (similar to the integrated circuit) Property of ThermoNeutronics, LLC
