The Solar Economics Forum USA conference and exhibition takes place in Washington D.C. on the 9-10 September 2009. Learn, network and debate with utility companies, project developers, investors, banks and policy makers at this leading solar finance event.
In a recent report by PR Newswire, Fresco Solar has announced that it will contrust solar photovoltaic ground arrays of one megawat or more in size anywhere in the USA for $2.95 per watt. This new breakthrough pricing, when coupled with Federal tax credits and other local initiatives such as the California Solar Initiative, brings solar photovoltaic power within the realm of grid parity.
Solar Economics Forum USA will provide you with an opportunity to:
- Understand the economics of the U.S solar industry and why solar has been given a key role in the US response to the economic crisis
- Compare the true cost curves for different technologies (PV, Thin Film, CSP, CPV)
- Hear how manufacturing is being scaled up
- Gain insight into which technologies are attracting investment and how projects can be financed in a difficult climate
- Find out the details surrounding the US policy developments at federal and state level, what this means for solar businesses and how policy is driving the market forward
- Understand how the U.S market has developed across utility, commercial and residential sectors
