HEAR FROM THIN FILM LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE - MIX WITH THE CREAM OF THE INDUSTRY AT THIS UNIQUE EVENT
It's
an exciting time for thin film in the global solar sector.
New developments now mean that it is now fast becoming commercially
viable and is now widely recognized as a huge opportunity
for established solar companies, specialist manufacturers
and start-ups alike. The need to lower production costs and
energy output without reducing module performance has plagued
the solar industry for several decades. It is now becoming
clear that new developments in thin film technology and manufacturing
could really have the answer.
Secure
your slice of the $20 billion pie
In
business, bottom line finances will always win out. Reducing
cost and improving output are the vital components that make
investors, authorities and utility companies sit up and take
notice. That's why thin film technologies are now gaining
impressive traction - they make economic sense. Using innovative
materials and manufacturing techniques can deliver impressive
production savings and collective financial gains across the
entire solar value chain.
It
is now crucial to understand the what it takes to deliver
the most cost effective and best performing thin film PV technologies
as well as learn what is needed to get successful manufacturing
facilities and plants up and running across the US and beyond.
This summit will show you how.
