Facts about Solar
In 2007 the global solar power market grew by an estimated 40% with 2.3GW of new capacity installed. In 2007 USD$2.8 bn of venture capital and private equity flowed into the industry and investment into publicly traded solar companies topped USD$5.3bn (source: New Energy Finance). By comparison in the past weeks alone two solar deals have seen USD$ 3bn committed:
“AES and Riverstone commit USD$1bn into solar”
“MASDAR invests USD$2bn into thin film solar”
“Evergreen Solar signs $1B in sales contracts”
With only 4 GW of global installed capacity, solar is still nascent in comparison to its potential. As manufacturing ramps up across the globe, and ever efficient production techniques are imported from the semiconductor industry, the tipping point of grid parity is firmly in sight.

Conference 1 - Solar Power Generation
Concentrated Solar Power and Concentrated Photovoltaics provide two rapidly evolving, cost effective routes to meeting the rising energy demand across the Gulf region. This conference will examine some of the initial plants and provide a detailed analysis of the opportunities.
Conference 2 - Solar Architecture
With continued development and construction in the region, how can solar be integrated into new building architecture to create low energy infrastructure? How can technologies cope with the harsh climate of salt, sand and thermal stress? What options are there for solar cooling technologies?
Conference 3 - Solar Innovation & Investment
Investment is pouring into both solar technology and project development enabling great innovation in the sector: Thin Film, CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide), MEMS PV Antennas. How can financiers, bankers and investors take advantage of the unique investment opportunities in this rapidly expanding global industry? |
