Challenges
+ Replacing a material with one of the strongest molecular bonds (F-H) in an application that sets long lifetime requirements (30+ yr) under extreme outdoor conditions is a huge technical challenge. + Ina market that is ruled by bankability, the introduction of a new material concepts challenging.
+ The lower environmental impactofbeing PFAS-free
was and is of no value at all, in the PV market. + Changing the mindset and regulations towards the farciceenpdltyanscoleuatniodn/sorisparolmonogtiaonndoofnegnoviinrgonpmreoncteasls. + The business environmentof the PV industry is extremely dynamic and challenging, especially for innovators,with high price pressure, unpredictable regulatory changes, short technology cycles,
dominant Chinese competition, etc.

Our path forward
+ We have built a 9 year performance track record.
+We lost andwithdrewfrom our `main' market (China)
due to unsustainable market conditions.
