WHY
- Solar Power 2007 is a solar energy industry conference and expo, an opportunity for customers, policymakers, investors and other supporters of an industry growing at a 40%/year rate to meet, confer and synergize. An unprecedented 10,000 attendees are anticipated.
- With an industry growth rate of more than 40 percent per year, there was a need for a single event where industry could come together with potential customers, policymakers, investors, and other parties necessary for continued rapid growth. Solar Power 2007 is now recognized as the premiere solar event in the U.S.
- Solar Power 2007 is purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs) to off-set all electricity use. The conference organizers also offer travel off-sets. The Long Beach Convention Center is a “green” convention center, using a roof-mounted solar photovoltaic installation to generate its own electricity.
