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.

The theme of this meeting is "Clean Energy for the World: Natural Gas, Biodiesel and Ethanol” and major topics to be addressed include environment, technology and logistics.

This event is aimed at the international solar industry and will look at topics such as crystalline and thin-film technologies, system components and PV programs.

The Clean-Tech Investor Summit has become widely recognized as one of the premier events for active investors to network with major corporations and emerging cleantech companies. The primary object of this annual summit is to provide delegates with an update on the cleantech sector and facilitate premium networking.

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.

The Renewable Energy Technology Conference and Exhibition (RETECH 2009) is ACORE’s premier trade gathering of the all-renewable energy industry in the United States. This three-day premier event features a trade show with 250+ exhibitors, six tracks of business conference sessions on each renewable energy technology, and multiple business-to-business side events. The conference will be attended by key players in all fields of renewable energy, as well as the 200 top CEOs who will present their market strategies and business objectives.

The forum will provide a versatile examination of what is required to renovate today’s laboratory-based technologies into large-scale commercial products. Discussion of technological requirements and manufacturing considerations will be accompanied by an analysis of market forces to identify not only when OPVs will be widely commercialized, but what role they will play in the context of a growing PV industry.

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 abstract submission is January 14, 2009.

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.

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).

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.
