| World's largest solar show extends to North America In partnership Solar Promotion International GmbH, Freiburg Management und Marketing International GmbH (FMMI) and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) announce the debut of the Intersolar North America exhibition and conference, to take place from July 15–17 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Together with the SEMICON West 2008 exhibition, Intersolar North America 2008 will represent the most comprehensive solar industry exhibition in the United States. To help companies take better advantage of the rapidly growing market for solar thermal and photovoltaic products, Intersolar and SEMI have been serving the solar energy supply chain with trade events, market promotion and other market development activities for several years. Intersolar North America 2008 will be the continent's premier international exhibition for photovoltaics, solar thermal technology and solar architecture. Coupled with SEMICON West, Intersolar North America 2008 will attract a broad base of attendees in the complimentary markets of semiconductor and nano-electronics manufacturing and development. Intersolar North America is expected to attract over 10,000 visitors of the solar industry, technology developers, investors and government officials. In addition, an "Innovation Exchange" seminar will offer the opportunity to collect different information on specific products or research through presentations from solar industry companies. In addition to the international exhibition, Intersolar North America will simultaneously feature a conference addressing industry issues in photovoltaics, such as crystalline silicon, thin film and concentrator technologies and system technologies. The conference will also address solar thermal and integrated technologies, financing and investments, materials issues and politics through technical workshops, panel discussions and presentations. Intersolar North America announceв that the Chairman of the Conference Committee will be Professor Eicke R. Weber, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg, Germany. The ISE institute is one of the world-leading research institutes concerning renewable energy and energy efficiency. From 1983 to 2007 Professor Weber was a faculty member in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
