Solar Energy Forum 2012: Perceiving PV Market Pattern Change, Integrating Solar PV Industry

Shanghai, Mar 1, 2012 AEST (ABN Newswire) - With the support of Solar Energy Industries Association and WORLD ALLIANCE FOR DECENTRALIZED ENERGY, China Decision Makers will hold Solar Energy Forum 2012 (www.cdmc.org.cn/sef2012 ) on 20th-21st, June 2012, in Shanghai, China.

Solar power is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global energy market. The market for photovoltaic solar energy has enjoyed an average growth rate of about 40 percent over the last few years. As concerns about climate and energy supply issues are on the forefront of international politics, support for expansion of the solar energy business continue to be strong. The cost of PV has dropped dramatically as the industry has scaled up manufacturing and incrementally improved the technology with new materials. Installation costs have come down too with more experienced and trained installers.

Trade tensions between China and the United States have been rising in recent months following a complaint by some U.S. manufacturers that Chinese companies are dumping solar panels in the United States below market prices. However, the competitive advantages of Chinese photovoltaic companies are due primarily to the concentration of the industrial chain inside China, and not due to Chinese government grants.

What Course to Follow during the New Situations? Solar Energy Forum 2012 is designed to look into more emerging long-term strategic issue. Our flagship event in your solar calendar 2012 will bring together the leading industry players to achieve the commercial and technical excellence across the whole value chain!
