Commenting on the Concentrated Photovoltaic Summit, Gary D. Conley, SolFocus CEO said, “The pace at which Concentrated Photovoltaics is moving has accelerated dramatically in the past year. With this rapid acceleration towards commercialization there is an increasing need for education on the technology and deployment opportunities which have the potential to reshape the solar energy market. The Concentrated Photovoltaic Summit 2008 is being held at the right time to meet the need for greater industry visibility and collaboration.” Pedro Banda, Director of ISFOC (Institure of Concentration Photovoltaics) says “The future looks promising for CPV. It is to become a very competitive technology and will quickly bring quality and reliable products into the market” Mr Banda oversees a number of modules that are already in construction or on the ground in ISFOC, Spain, including the Solfocus module itself. “Predictions of less than 3€/W at system level are likely to become effective in 2010, which will bring solar electricity prices closer to the 0.1€/kWhr target” he says “CPV is as an industry on the brink of commercialisation, it deserves a space in its own rightm within the PV industry. We are all meeting in Madrid to organise ourselves for the industry’s benefit” Belén Gallego, the director of CPV Today- organisers of the event- “ The attendees and I are extremely excited about the conference, as this event really is a milestone for the industry and will mark the beginning of a new era for CPV, differentiating from what has happened in the past and the direction the industry will take in the future/future its direction”
