Solar Terawatt-hours Conference Series
PHOTON’s 2nd PV Thin-Film Conference (February 2)
will discuss the question:
Are there any other candidates among thin-film companies beyond first solar
that will reach terawatt-hour-scale production in the next 3 years?
PHOTON’s 2nd PV Start-up Conference (February 3) will provide an
overview on Which are the most promising start-ups that have the potential to
strongly impact cost reduction in the terawatt-hour power generation game?
PHOTON’s 3rd Solar Electric Utility Conference (February 4) will
give answers to the question: What is the right strategy to master the gigantic
challenges of integrating the upcoming wave of solar into the electricity
supply sector?
PHOTON’s Solar Terawatt-hours Conference Series is aimed at solar investors,
decision makers from the solar industry and electric utility business, and
companies planning to move into this exciting and fast growing technology. The
event is organized by PHOTON, the world’s leading PV publisher, with the
intention of providing a catalyst for in-depth discussions, analysis and action
concerning PV technology on its way to reaching massive scale and impact in
global power generation.
