Reductions in the price of silicon is driving the market growth by providing cost effective, high efficiency, reliable modules with the demonstrated lifetime required for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) market. The most cost efficient way to penetrate these growing world markets is through distributed crystalline silicon module manufacturing.
This presentation will address:
Effect of stimulus funding and state initiatives on the U.S. market.
Filling the gap between the projected U.S. market and the U.S. manufacturing capacity through distributed module manufacturing.
Advantages of crystalline silicon distributed module assembly.
Cost considerations for module assembly from solar cells.
Crystalline silicon demonstrated specifications for the PPA market.
Opportunities for worldwide growth through the distributed module assembly model.
The free-of-charge webinar will be hosted by Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation and a pioneer in the solar industry, and is sponsored by Greentech Media. “Since our initial announcement earlier this month, over 1,100 people have registered for the webinar,” said Mr. Little. “This truly is not an event to be missed.”
