December 1 - 5, 2008

  • Boston, MA

 

International Photovoltaic Reliability Workshop 

December 4 - 5, 2008

  • Shanghai, China

As the PV industry continues its rapid expansion, it must emphasize the quality and reliability of its products to further secure public trust and thereby avoid premature, irreversible setback if affected by large-scale reliability issues. This workshop serves as the first of two planned activities designed to address these quality and reliability issues. Any individuals closely involved in PV manufacturing, marketing, installation, application use, and decision-making, and concerned with PV product quality and performance reliability, are highly encouraged to participate.

January 2009

Solar Power Generation USA 

January 21 - 22, 2009

  • Las Vegas, NV
Solar Power Generation USA will look at how the different levels of government are contributing to solar policy as well as understanding the true market potential of CST, CPV and large scale PV. Leading experts will discuss the different business strategies that are emerging and how stakeholders are working together to address key issues such as permitting and grid connection. It is a must attend for anyone charged with solar technology development, manufacturing, finance, utilities, policy makers and regulators.
