After the heavy snowfalls have stopped in Germany and we approach the end of the winter, installers are returning to work to catch up on strong demand to get as much capacity connected to the grid as quickly as possible before the government cuts incentives. But what will happen after the feed-in tariff drops in the world's largest market, originally suggested for April, but now rumored to take place in June/July? And as PV companies produce at full steam and new capacity is being added, how are other markets doing (such as Italy, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria or Japan)?

PHOTON will provide the first indicators for the global PV business in 2010 at its 5^th PV Investors Conference. We have invited executives from the world's leading stock-listed pure PV companies to discuss supply and demand in solar markets. In addition, investors will talk about their views on project and company finance, while international installers will provide the latest in-depth information on the most interesting PV markets. Finally, financial sell-side analysts from leading banks will take a look into their crystal balls, and discuss the course of the sector in 2010 and beyond.

The conference will provide an overview on:

• Leading stock-listed PV companies' business views
• Project finance and equity markets
• Demand in top markets and emerging markets – views
  of international installers
• Analysts demand, supply and price forecasts
• Executive panel discussion

PHOTON's 5^th PV Investors Conference addresses executives, and sales and marketing experts from solar companies, as well as analysts and investors, and other industries looking into entering the solar business.
