SOLARPLAZA to organize The Solar Future: India 2011 show in Delhi

NEW DELHI, INDIA: SOLARPLAZA, one of the leading international event organizers in the renewable energy space has now extended its footprint to India.

After six years of successful existence and over 25 events in other markets, the firm will kick-off its India footprint through The Solar Future: India 2011, which will be held over two days at The Grand, New Delhi on January 24-25, 2011. The theme for the India edition will be “India: Development of a New Solar Super Power".

“The Solar Future” PV conferences worldwide have been known for their large scale presentation, besides delivering significantly high value for the local solar/PV industry. The Delhi edition of this world-class, two day international conference is expected to not only attract high profile speakers from across the world, but also attract delegations who will visit India to understand the market, the potential and opportunities here.

According to Edwin Koot, CEO, SOLARPLAZA: “Endowed with abundant sunlight 300 days in a year, having the cost advantage in the production of solar cells & modules and the impetus provided by the rolling out of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission by the central government and followed upon by many state governments, India today has a huge opportunity to become a Solar Super Power.

The need of the hour is for the world to know firsthand of the opportunities here and for Indian companies to learn the best practices of other markets. This is something that SOLARPLAZA is positioned to do well and “The Solar Future: India” is the first step in that direction. We look forward to the successful conduct of this Delhi edition and there are more planned or on the anvil for the Indian market.”

Key topics deliberated at the two-day conference will be:

* The JN-NSM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission) and related solar PV targets, incentives, perspectives of international market and industry trends.
* Policy plans, programs and incentives of Indian states.
* Business opportunities in the Indian PV market, Practical experiences and challenges faced by established players in the industry.
* Very large scale PV power plants - Is cheap solar energy possible in three years? Can solar power plants compete with fossil fuel power plants?
* Crystalline silicon or thin film - which is better for power generation in India?
* The Solar Future in India: Will India become the New Solar Super Power?

The Solar Future: India 2011 is being held at the time that challenges related to capital cost, high expertise of the technology-intensive manufacturing processes and the environmental costs are being addressed with the support from the Government and breakthroughs are happening in R&D.
