24th EU PVSEC: Closing Session Videos
Photovoltaic Technical Highlights and Industry Summary on SET for 2020.
When I posted the 24th EU PVSEC: Photovoltaic Technical Highlights, I planned to include a YouTube video of Dr. Heinz Ossenbrink's presentation. However, YouTube enforced their rigid 10 minute length policy even though the file size was well below 2GB (GigaBytes). So in two parts courtesy of iMovie ‘09, the videos below capture Dr. Ossenbrink’s presentation in his own words.
Once I had a perch established at stage right for effective recording, I also videoed the next speaker, Dr. Winfried Hoffman in his role as EPIA (European Photovoltaic Industry Association) President, present the Industry Summary of
Green Jobs Platform for Solar
SVTC creates Green Jobs Principles for a safe and sustainable solar industry. Call to action to sign the Green Jobs Platform for Solar.
Last week, the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition (SVTC, http://www.etoxics.org) announced the Green Jobs Platform for Solar to facilitate a dialog and encourage Photovoltaic (PV) industry adoption of their ten (10) Green Jobs Platform for Solar Principles. On the heals of the "Toward a Just and Sustainable Solar Energy Industry" report released in January 2009, the SVTC is proceeding with the Clean and Just Solar Campaign to encourage solar module recycling
2nd European Solar Days
Weeklong campaign to raise public awareness of Solar Energy in Europe.

Feed-in Tariffs: Solar FiT for Gainesville, Florida!
A Solar Photovoltaic Incentive Policy We Can Believe In.
Which US state will enact the first Feed-in Tariff (FiT)?
Triangulate between Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee to find Gainesville, Florida USA. Photovoltaic advocates won’t need fancy geometry to locate Gainesville after “Commission gives its approval to feed-in tariff for solar power” by Megan Rolland for The Gainesville Sun.
Per the Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) Friday, February 6, 2009, announcement “Leading the Nation: GRU’s Solar Feed-in-Tariff”, the Gainesville City Commission:
gave unanimous

Photovoltaic Conference and Exhibition Preview 2009
Significant photovoltaic conferences and events in 2009. In chronological order, here are the conferences I am interested in following or covering in 2009. Given that visibility thing, I’m not making plans beyond PHOTON’s Technology Show. As last year (Part 2 update), my focus remains technical conferences and business to business trade shows, not regional marketing or sales events. However, I am still considering smaller technical conferences in lieu of the larger mega events because of repetitive content. There is little location alignment among the eleven events although the San Francisco Bay area and Munich have two events each.23rd EU PVSEC Preview
Global PV Industry taking planes, trains, automobiles, and perhaps boats to Valencia for “the most important international Event in the field of Photovoltaics”.
The 23rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) opens Monday, September 1, 2008 (Labor Day!), and runs through the Closing Ceremony at Noon on Friday, September 5, 2008, located at the Feria Valencia Convention and Exhibition Centre in Valencia, Spain.
While the Conference Dinner is booked, it appears Conference Registration is still possible. Per custom, the Welcome Letter has been emailed to Registered Conference Delegates and will also be included in the Conference Bag. Please consult the Overview

Feed-in Tariffs: Solar FiT for the USA
End the ITC (Investment Tax Credit) Myopia and expand the United States Solar Policy agenda. With the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC 2008, Agenda) coming up this week, it seemed appropriate to jump into the US solar policy and incentive debate.
Repeated lobbying efforts by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the US national trade association for the solar industry, have failed to pass an extension to the solar Investment Tax Credit in last year’s Energy Independence and Security Act and the recent Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. Future SEIA efforts continue to focus on
Blunden’s Blunder at EPIA’s 4th European PV Industry Forum
Has SunPower lost touch with California Residential Solar Installers?
Last year, it took almost a week for me to gather my thoughts and write an article worthy of publishing on RenewableEnergyAccess.com about the 3rd PV Industry Forum. It doesn’t take more than a few moments to realize when incorrect marketing spin is promoted in a public forum.
That was the case early today, September 5, 2007, at the 4th European PV Industry Forum held during the 22nd EU PVSEC in Milan, Italy. Julie Blunden, Vice President, Public Policy and Corporate Communications, SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR), professed that the California solar market has developed well over the past two
22nd EU PVSEC Preview
Photovoltaics converge on Milano for THE PV Conference, Exhibition, and EPIA’s 4th PV Industry Forum
The 22nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) opens this Monday, September 3, 2007, on the US Labor Day holiday =again= this year and runs for five days through Friday, September 7, 2007, at the FIERA MILANO RHO Fairground and Conference centre.
Sorry, it is too late to register. The conference has been booked to the limit since August 22, 2007. Registered Conference Delegates are invited to read the Welcome Letter for background information.
