Like the sun rising in the East, the solar
industry in China has risen to unparalleled heights. The limelight shone on the successful IPO of Suntech Power(无锡尚德太阳能) last year on the
NYSE (raising $400M), with several other companies, such as LinYang SolarFun(江苏林洋新能源), Baoding YingLi(天威英利新能源), etc. waiting in the
wings.
At the same time, billions dollars of venture capital are being raised
to fund new technologies and processes.
The thirst appears to be insatiable, as China’s domestic energy demands
continue to skyrocket and the world continues to search for clean and
inexpensive energy to counter rising oil prices.
With China poised to become one of the
dominant manufacturers and consumers of solar energy, NACSA welcomes an
esteemed panel of solar experts from China to shed some light on the trends,
opportunities, and challenges of the solar industry in China. Our panel will offer diverse
perspectives (entrepreneur, investment, and academic), focusing on China
uniqueness as a manufacturing base, a marketplace, and a hotbed for innovation.
NACSA invites its members and other
professionals with interests in solar technology to join us for this exciting
discussion. The event is $10
if you RSVP, and $20 at the door, and space is limited. Please RSVP before 10/17 to rsvp@nacsa.com and include your name,
affiliation, email and phone number.
