U.S. PV Manufacturing, Poised for Explosive Growth

The worldwide photovoltaics industry has entered a new phase of growth driven in part by high energy costs and national initiatives. The U.S. market is poised for explosive growth encouraged by stimulus funding and state initiatives. U.S. large scale power purchase agreements, PPA’s, are proliferating. Low-cost silicon is has resulted in low-cost, high-efficiency crystalline silicon modules with 25 year demonstrated lifetime that are satisfying the PPA market. The most cost effective way to penetrate the U.S. and other growing world markets is by distributed crystalline silicon module manufacturing.

This webinar will address:

• Effect of stimulus funding and state initiatives on the US market
• Advantages of crystalline silicon distributed module assembly
• Cost considerations for module assembly from solar cells
• Crystalline silicon advantages for the PPA market
• Filling the gap between the projected US market and the US manufacturing capacity shortfall through distributed module manufacturing
• Opportunities for world wide growth through the distributed module assembly model

The webinar will be moderated by Greentech Media's Editor in Chief Michael Kanellos and will include a live Q&A with the speaker.
