PHOTON‘s Searching for
»Second Solar« Conference Series

Today, First Solar may be the most exciting company in the PV industry: unrivaled low production costs, gigantic growth and unique technology. As one of the first PV companies to compete with the conventional energy industry, First Solar is among the industry leaders.

The PV landscape is changing faster than ever, with new companies, new technologies and new challenges emerging. This rapid change will be discussed at PHOTON‘s Searching for the »Second Solar« Conference Series from Dec. 2-4 in San Francisco, which includes three conference:

• PHOTON‘s 1^st PV Start-up Conference on Dec. 2 will answer the question, »What kind of companies have potential to become the second First Solar?«


• PHOTON‘s 1^st PV Thin Film Conference on Dec. 3 will answer the question, »Are the most promising candidates to be found among thin-film manufacturers or do other technologies have similar potential?« and


• PHOTON‘s 1^st TECAF Conference on Dec. 4 will answer the question, »How will conventional electricity companies respond to challenges from multiple First Solar-like players?«

The Searching for »Second Solar« Conference Series is aimed at PV investors, decision makers from the solar industry or electric utility business, or companies planning to move into this exciting and fast growing technology. The event is organized by PHOTON, the world‘s leading PV publisher and its Boston-based consulting branch, PHOTON Consulting, the premier PV analysts, with the intention of providing a catalyst for in-depth discussions, analysis and action concerning PV technology on its way to reaching massive scale and impact in global power generation.
