Solar Light Flashes: 24th EU PVSEC Edition

Select Photovoltaic News Tidbits from the 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition.

It's been like forever (1 year, 8 months, 10 days) since my last Solar Light Flashes. I've always planned to resurrect the haphazard post. Twitter delayed the return but sometimes 140 characters are insufficient. centrotherm photovoltaics AG (ETR:CTN) Only the Photovoltaic (PV) Industry plasters roadmaps or manufacturing costs on exhibition stand signage. The last official centrotherm CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) news was “Success in the thin film division: centrotherm photovoltaics achieves 13 percent efficiency for mass production”. Tom Cheyney chatted with centrotherm in “EU PVSEC short takes: Talking CIGS turnkey, eyeballing a Nanosolar panel, and more” at PV-tech.org. Read More >>

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

Intersolar 2009: My Photovoltaic Top 10 List

[Munich, Germany] Photovoltaic power electronics are hot! Clocking in with 1417 exhibitors covering 104000 square meters across nine halls and an outdoor area, I was competing with about 60000 visitors to capture my unfair share of Intersolar 2009 over three days at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre. Given the massive size and my ongoing hiatus recovery, I could have used another day to investigate more stands. With that caveat, here are my subjective views of the best Intersolar 2009 had to offer mimicking the Late Show with David Letterman format. A Picasa slideshow of the Photovoltaic Top 10 List is displayed at the
