1 billion people are to be supplied with solar electricity worldwide

10 July 2008 | Market Watch: News From Around The Web | Source: earthtoys.com
In the future, operators of new solar electricity facilities will obtain more money for self-produced electricity in Germany than so far. As you can see, the solar branch's dynamic growth rate is continuing. According to a collective study by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) and Greenpeace has shown that by 2020 about 1 billion people will be supplied with solar electricity worldwide. Also, the number of so far over 50 European manufacturers of solar facilities will grow continually. A growth of 27% annually by 2009 and of 34% between 2010 and 2020 is expected.
 

Solar energy has great potential. Therefore, at this year's RENEXPO® there will be two conferences, that will address this subject matter, alongside the trade fair theme „solar". Thus, the Federal Conference for Operators of Photovoltaic Power plants (BFBG) is being held for the fifth time already. The congress will inform, in its established way, on the innovations of 2008 on the market, in technology, quality assurance and insurance. Thus, for example, Rainer Brohm of Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft BSW e.V. will give a lecture on the effects of the EEG-novelle on photovoltaic, and Manfred Schäfer from the Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft (GDV) will give an overview of the technological potential for danger of mid- and large-sized photovoltaic power plants. The conference will, among others, address engineers, investors, energy suppliers as well as domestic construction, and will take place on Friday, October 10th.
