The sector has hugepotential for technological improvement and it is this change that will movethe solar sector to grid parity in years to come. Over $30bn was invested in thesolar sector in 2007 according to some estimates and this investment trendhas continued in 2008 and a recent study has predicted that the global solarmarket could grow to a $100bn industry by 2013 reaching 23GW installedfrom 4.9GW in 2008. Spain, Germany, Japan and the USA currently lead theglobal market for solar and with recent legislative announcements in the USand Spain creating new regulatory certainty in both markets, solar power isvery much at the forefront of renewable energy expansion.This 2 day conference will bring together the leading players in CST/STEG,CPV and Large Scale PV to address the key issues in developing large scalesolar projects.Feedback from delegates at Green Power Conferencesprevious Solar events:“Ilearnt a lot from the conference in terms of the marketdrivers, new technologies and financing.” ABENGOA“Informative, good overview.” VATTENFALL“Very good presentations by banks andtechnology providers.” BP ALTERNATIVE ENERGyWho Will You Meet??
