Rome, Italy – Rotterdam, The Netherlands – March 6, 2008
SolarPlaza, an international solar energy broker firm, is organising it’s 9th international solar energy networking and deal-making event on the 27th and the 28th of March 2008. This event will take place in Rome, Italy, and will focus on investment opportunities in the Italian PV market.
Changing market circumstances
With the feed-in tariff of the world largest PV market, Germany, steadily decreasing and uncertainty about the continuation of the tariff in Spain, the solar industry is looking for other markets to sell their products.
With a high irradiation rate, an attractive feed-in tariff and a market cap of 1200 MW, the Italian market could well be one of the most attractive markets for the solar industry at the moment. As the total, new, installed capacity for Italy is likely to reach 200 MW in 2008, compared to 60 MW in 2007, the Italian market should show a 300% year-on-year growth figure.
Networking and deal-making event for developers and investors
The purpose of this international event is to explore investment opportunities and to match the Italian PV project developers with the growing group of national and international investors and renewable energy equity funds.
Programme
On the first day, a visit will be made to a solar energy project and in the afternoon several speakers will elaborate on the legislation, financing and experiences of developers with large-scale project development. The second day will cover topics like financing opportunities by banks and the experiences of international investors. Furthermore, presentations will be made by developers offering their best solar-park projects.
Organisation
The organisation is in the hands of SolarPlaza, which previously organised international PV trade missions to Taiwan, Spain, China, Italy, Greece and California.
Participation is open for Italian developers, international investors and anyone interested in exploring PV business opportunities in Italy. This event will include informal lunches and dinners for personal networking. As proven in previous business events, the intensive contacts with other committed international business people will offer an effective and enjoyable way to explore business opportunities.
Cost
The all-inclusive fee for the completely organised PV-Investment two-day event is € 1,850, including a one-night stay in a 5-star hotel, with breakfast, lunches and dinners. Participants who subscribe and pay before the 12th of March 2008 receive a €200 discount. Details and a registration form are available at www.solarplaza.com.

Worldwide leaders in the PV industry will be gathering in Milan, Italy from September 3rd-7th, 2007 for the 22nd annual European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference. In recent years, Germany has become a popular destination for PV investments and the country’s investment promotion agency, Invest in Germany, will be on hand in Milan to outline advantages of a PV investment in Germany. Germany is the world leader in PV. This claim is backed up in both capacity and sales: 55% of the world’s total PV capacity is in Germany and in 2006 the German PV industry earned EUR3.8 billion in sales.

Blue Ocean sun to shine at October solar show :Grand opening of Photovoltaic Forum & Expo 2007
How could we miss it? The sun. Just above our leads glares down, reminding us of a way out of the energy crisis. And for the first time all the prospects, promise and technology of the Taiwan sun are brought together at the 2007 Taiwan Int’l Photovoltaic Forum & Exhibition, the first large comprehensive international professional show that combines a photovoltaic forum and exhibition.
These events which underscore new smart and clean tech approaches roll out Oct. 10th and 12th at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) are further complemented by the “2007 Taipei International Electronics Autumn Show” and the first “2007 Taiwan International RFID Applications Show” which come Oct. 9th and 13th at Exhibition Halls 1 & 3 in the adjacent World Trade Center and are co-organized by TAITRA and TEEMA (Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association)
The 2007 Taiwan Int’l Photovoltaic Forum & Exhibition is authorized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade and organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), unfolds across five sections, namely Materials & Batteries, Modules & Transformer Systems, System Applications & Production Equipment, Industry Associations, and the Media.
Altogether 62 domestic and international manufacturers have registered for the exhibition, which will use 98 booths. Among them is the world’s second largest manufacturer of silicon solar cells, the German-based Q-Cells. There’s also Abakus Energiesysteme GmbH Taiwan Branch, Dupont Taiwan Limited, and leading domestic solar-energy-related enterprises like E-Ton Solar Tech, Mosel Vitelic Inc., Gintech Energy Corporation, Green Energy Technology Inc., and Darfon Electronics Corp.
Those attending the Photovoltaic Forum will be briefed on the latest trends in the global photovoltaic industry, silicon solar cells, photovoltaic silicon, and thin film solar cells. The variety and plurality of discussions at this forum will surely attract the attention of the international photovoltaic industry and host packed participation from both manufacturers and buyers.
The coming Forum builds upon the success of the first Taipei Int’l Photovoltaic Forum last July 2006 that assisted industries in exploring business opportunities across both domestic and international markets, and facilitated technological exchanges and promoted R&D in the solar-energy photovoltaic field.
