Solar Energy Industries Association To Host Major Conference In Philadelphia June 8-10

The Solar Energy Industries Association will host the PV America conference and trade show, its first-ever conference focused solely on the fastest growing segment of the solar industry from June 8–10, 2009 in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

 

Solar photovoltaic panel technology converts sunlight directly into electricity and is commonly seen on rooftops. Despite the economic downturn, PV grew an impressive 81 percent in 2008 compared to 2007. The Mid-Atlantic market is poised for considerable growth in 2009.

 

Solar PV manufacturers, developers, and installers will want to attend to market directly to businesses and consumers and for more than 50 valuable educational sessions on policies, workforce development and business growth strategies. Small business owners and entrepreneurs will gain from great networking opportunities and information on becoming part of the emerging PV industry. PV America will also feature keynote speeches from visionary leaders, such as solar advocate and former CIA Director R. James Woolsey.

 

The public is welcome to come and see PV technology and its applications for homes and businesses at Public Night on Tuesday, June 9 from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., where 200 companies will be represented in the expo hall. Admission for Public Night is free.
