US Solar Forum to highlight grid parity
Bringing together members of the US solar industry in Washington, Green Power Conferences have announced that between 9-10 of September the US Solar Forum will give guests the opportunity to discuss the key issues of the moment in the PV industry.
There seems to be a growing support for the argument that grid parity will become a reality within the near future with analysts in the UK suggesting that it could happen as soon as 2013. The Washington Solar forum will give attendees the chance to discuss the ideas of a viable photovoltaic industry and the possibility of solar generated electricity reaching the same price of electricity generated by non-renewable means in the US.
As well as offering a unique networking opportunity for guests, the forum will also see a number of expert, high profile speakers give a number of presentations regarding the future of the solar industry in the United States. Such speakers will include:
• Gabrielle Giffords, U.S. Representative, D-AZ
• Jigar Shah, Founder, Sun Edison, USA

Hi! That web-site iz da greatest, and I’ve been searching for this web-site for a while now ‘n I am so happy I eventually got here.
I’m 24 years old and finishing my bachelors at Princeton.
I am the sort of hombre who loves to seek bran-new things. Right now I’m making my own photovoltaic panels. I’m making it all alone without the aid of my men. I am using the internet as the only way to acheive that. I stumbled upon a really awesome website which explains how to make solar panels and so on. The web site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.
I’m not sure bout how correct the data given there is. If some experts over here who have experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the thread it would be awesome and I would highly appreciate it, cause I really lav photovoltaic panel building.
