MEPTEC Presents
Semiconductor to Solar: Growth Opportunities for the IC Industry
November 19, 2009
Radisson Plaza, San Jose, CA
https://meptec.org/meptecsemiconduc.html

In the last ten years, the field of photovoltaics (PV) has grown explosively from a niche market to an important international industry.

The PV Rollout workshop, a European American Solar Deployment Conference, will examine the technical, economic, and political hurdles to rapid and widespread PV deployment. Various perspectives, including political and commercial, will be considered. The conference will also provide participants with strategies and know-how to address these hurdles effectively. In doing so, we expect that this conference will augment the North American PV Rollout by providing industry leaders the roadmap they need to understand these challenges and help them develop profi table projects.

We invite you to participate in our conference and to join in the growing excitement about PV. Hear from developers of new PV concepts and from system integrators who implement these concepts to drive innovation and cost reduction. Due to different levels of PV deployment between Europe and the US, this binational conference seeks to leverage the European experience. Experts active in the European market will be presenting at our event and will be available to network with guests interested in tapping into their experience.

At the same time, this conference will consider the distinctive aspects of the North American markets to ensure that the correct solutions are found for different areas. Conference speakers will address topics such as political issues, financing and risk management. Additionally, they will provide an overview of new trends in module design and balance of system components in the PV supply chain.

We encourage all participants to submit abstracts for papers on technical, economic and policy issues related to PV Rollout. Don‘t miss this opportunity to become one of our speakers or poster presenters! We are looking for you – the experts in the fi eld of PV from both sides of the Atlantic!

Conference Focus:
• Development and Application of Technologies
• Exchange of Results and Ideas
• Sharing of Expertise
• Identification of R&D Needs
• Presentation of Field Experience
