Clean Technology 2009 brings together over 5,000 technology and business leaders and experts from academia, investment, government, startups, and Fortune 1,000 companies. The goals are: identifying the latest clean technologies and commercial sustainable solutions; driving advanced research insight and best practices; matching buyers and sellers; enabling strategic partnerships; and providing intellectual property licensing, venture capital, corporate financing, and customer acquisition opportunities.

Focus Topics: Impacts of new technologies on the large scale deployment of residential and commercial scale solar PV systems; new incentives that have improved the viability and business case of solar in the northeast; and new business opportunities and workforce development challenges that can help rebuild our regional and national economy
 
Who should attend:  State and local government officials, financial Institutions, builders, developers, code officials, economic development professionals and community organizations.

The prime focus of the SolarTech / CALSEIA Summit is collaboration. Participants will define actions that will lead to reduced system costs and cycle times for residential and commercial installations. The ultimate goals are to substantially accelerate the adoption of solar and to stimulate new markets and growth of jobs in the solar industry.

This conference will focus on the role of energy storage on enhancing the value of renewable energy sources, which are usually intermittent or unpredictable. Attendees will represent researchers, energy storage companies, renewable energy companies, utilities, and policymakers.

Come see technologies developed at federal laboratories from across the country. As part of its 2009 national meeting, the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) is proud to present Industry Day.

The FLC will be welcoming members from industry, free of charge, to take part in a variety of sessions focused on the interests of industry. The FLC Tech Fair will offer members of industry the opportunity to meet with federal laboratory representatives from across the country and from every agency as they display their latest technologies.

SOLAR 2009 is America’s leading conference on the emerging trends, technology, and opportunities shaping the new energy economy.

Rising Opportunities will be held within the program of Intersolar 2009, the world's largest trade fair for solar technology. Rising Opportunities will gather current and prospective players in solar photovoltaics in the EU New Member States (NMS), Greece, Turkey, Russia, and the other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and in the rest of the world to explore possibilities for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Rising Opportunities aims to explore whether the new emerging markets can compensate the gap in the Spanish solar PV market. It will feature the three sessions below, followed by interactive panel discussions with leading academicians, analysts, experts, researchers, and industry leaders.

• First market session: Experts will analyze the status of Solar PV market in NMS and will discuss how the solar PV boom in the Czech Republic can be followed by other NMS.
• Second market session: Will cover the four promising, fast-growing South-East European solar PV markets with excellent irradiation levels, namely, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, and Turkey. Experts will look into what should be done to fully use their potential to reach the challenging goal of more than 1 GW solar PV market yearly by 2012 for these countries.
• Industry and R&D session: Will focus on Russia and other CIS countries, with experts addressing the issue of whether and how the solar PV industry in these countries could become an important player in the global industry.

This conference will bring together industry experts, manufacturers, researchers and end users for a balanced, comprehensive discussion of the opportunities and challenges surrounding photovoltaic markets, investment, production, applications and technological requirements, challenges and breakthroughs.

This event will address opportunities and challenges for large scale solar electric generation through concentrated solar power thermal (CST) technologies.

The Photovoltaic Specialists Conference presents groundbreaking research papers on all aspects of photovoltaic-relevant materials, devices, systems and applications. This year's Technical Program will encompass nine programmatic areas covering topics from novel materials and devices, thin-film cells made from CIGS and CdTe and emerging semiconductors, crystalline and amorphous silicon, III-V cells, concentrator devices and systems, and module and system experience including reliability studies. The deadline for electronic submission of the full manuscript is May 26, 2009.

This year's IEEE conference is in conjunction with SEIA's Solar America Conference, June 8-10.

The summit will focus on business aspects of photovoltaics and how your business can capitalise on the latest developments in this field.

Providing a unique opportunity for communication and collaboration between academia, industry and planners in the areas of Solar Energy, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Advanced Energy Technologies.

Hear the latest advancements in sustainable technologies from solar cells to concentrators to PV systems. Topics include: solar hydrogen, thin films, OPVs, and PV cell technologies.

This event is one of the world's three big PV conferences (together with the PVSEC in Asia and the IEEE PVSEC in the U.S.), but traditionally has the most visitors and the largest industry exhibiiton.

This event from the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) will highlight advances and technological developments.  The theme of the event is "Renewable Energy: Shaping our Future."

The largest Solar Power Conference in the United States about the U.S. solar industry and market opportunities.  The conference is sponsored by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA).  The conference, former called Solar Power 2009, has a new name--Solar Power International--and new dates--October 27-29, 2009.

International Trade Fair for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficient Building. For the 5th time, worldwide experts meet in order to exchange know-how, present experiences from the practice and offer advice gained through research and development and ensuring this knowledge is quickly transferred into action. The innovation conference takes place over two days parallel to the CEP trade fair.

Join NREL at its 22^nd Industry Growth Forum—America's largest venture event focused exclusively on companies developing clean energy products and services.

The Forum provides growth opportunities in the clean energy industry for early-seed to expansion capital companies. In attendance will be angel investors, venture capitalists, investors, company executives, and government officials.
