Close to the SolarEdge
Holistic approach improves Photovoltaic (PV) system energy yield by up to 25% while reducing BoS (Balance of System) and installation cost.
Mass production slated for September 2009.
It has been a while since Intersolar 2009: My Photovoltaic Top 10 List honored SolarEdge Technologies Inc. with the first place ranking,1. (tie) Best Start-up.
My interaction with SolarEdge started before Intersolar 2009 during the PV Industry Forum 2009. I decided to skip the Arima EcoEnergy Technologies Corp. presentation (which I wanted to hear) at the Concentrating

State of the CPV Consortium – Part 2
“Is the CPV (Concentrator PhotoVoltaics) Industry Ready to Ramp?”
More CPV Myth Busting plus CPV Environmental Positives.
Even as I finished the “State of the CPV Consortium” post, I knew a follow up was required to complete the State of CPV address. I begin here with the CPV forecast from the presentation by CPV Consortium Chairman/Director Nancy Hartsoch.
From PV Industry Forum 2009
As you can see in the above Picasa photo, PHOTON International claims 10 MW (MegaWatts) of CPV was installed in 2008. However, Ms. Hartsoch thought this was not all High Concentration PhotoVoltaics (HCPV) but was dominated by silicon based concentrators. For instance, “Opportunities and Challenges for

State of the CPV Consortium
“Is the CPV (Concentrator PhotoVoltaics) Industry Ready to Ramp?”
LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) but what does it cost to install capacity?
From PV Industry Forum 2009
On the second day of the PV Industry Forum 2009, SolFocus VP Marketing Nancy Hartsoch, in her role as CPV Consortium Chairman/Director, presented “Concentrator PV Advanced Technology Becomes Commercial Energy Solution” to kick off the misnamed Session 6: Silicon PV Outlook – Concentrating PV.
While I was irked (it wasn’t just me) by the three CPV PR movie clips, Technology Overview

SEIA trashes Gainesville Solar Feed-in Tariff
[Munich, Germany]
A funny thing happened at the PV Industry Forum 2009.
Solar Policy Not Invented by the SEIA?
Legal challenges for state Feed-in Tariff policies.
At the PV Industry Forum held last week before Intersolar 2009, Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President & CEO Rhone Resch presented “New and emerging developments in the US solar market” in Session 1: PV Markets.
From PV Industry Forum 2009
After his presentation, an attendee asked:
Would you tell me about the utility market in the United

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.Friday, April 25, 2008 12:48 pm | Edgar A. Gunther | 3 Comments »

Photovoltaic Conference and Exhibition Preview 2008
Significant photovoltaic conferences and events in 2008
In chronological order, here are the conferences I am interested in covering or following in 2008. The schedule is packed with three new conferences and events versus last year, and my focus remains technical conferences and business to business trade shows, not regional marketing or sales events. Location alignment results in two events each for San Francisco, San Diego, and Munich.
Concentrated Solar Power USAJanuary 28-29, 2008San Francisco, California USA
As I mentioned in Photovoltaics: 2007 Post Review and 2008 Trends to Watch – Part 2, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is the hottest solar power segment. Second in a series, the Event Overview is titled:

Intersolar North America 2008
Intersolar joins SEMICON West next year in San Francisco
Intersolar North America 2008 (http://www.intersolar.us/) will be co-hosted by SEMICON West 2008 from July 15-17, 2008, at the Moscone Center West Hall, Level 3, in San Francisco, California USA.
Solar Promotion GmbH and the Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH & Co (FWTM), the organizers of Intersolar, and SEMI, the organizer of SEMICON said:
The new exposition will be the largest trade event serving the full solar energy supply chain in the United States.
Intersolar North America is expecting about 10,000 visitors for over 200 photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal exhibitors covering 100,000 square feet

PV Industry Forum 2007
[Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany]
Solar Systems Victorian Project presented last but still best of Forum
There were about 300 participants at the PV Industry Forum 2007 on June 20, 2007, in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, organized by Solar Promotion GmbH and PSE GmbH. As I mentioned before, this year’s program emphasized Thin films and Concentrating PhotoVoltaics (CPV). The Forum was a bit dry this year since the interactive peanut gallery comments of Prof. Dr. Peter Woditsch, Deutsche Solar AG CEO, were absent.
As I did last year (PV Industry Forum
