August 06, 2009 - AltaTerra Research is pleased to announce the first web conference in a series of events on environmental issues in the solar industry. “First Solar: Toward a Sustainable PV Industry,” featuring Lisa Krueger, Vice President of Sustainable Development at First Solar, will be held Tuesday, August 25th at 9:00 am Pacific /12:00 noon Eastern.
While solar power provides significant environmental benefits compared to conventional power generation, including substantially reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, there is increasing recognition of the opportunities for solar companies at each step of the supply chain to provide even greater environmental benefits. First Solar (FSLR), developer and manufacturer of thin film solar modules, is a leader and innovator in environmental responsibility in the solar industry.
During “First Solar: Toward a Sustainable PV Industry”, Ms. Krueger, who heads First Solar’s sustainable development group, will explain First Solar’s sustainability approach, experience, and plans for the future. In addition, she will offer a perspective on achieving a sustainable solar industry, including the economics and market value of sustainability, and opportunities for cooperation.
Further details about the web conference and registration are available on the event webpage: www.altaterra.net/event/firstsolar. A limited number of press passes are available.
