Solar Power International 2008 Closes
Solar Power International may be over but we’re still posting video coverage from the show, including our final day wrap-up.
I looked at inverter providers. He spoke with representatives from Outback, Enphase and SMA America. Xantrex, another inverter provider, introduced its new 500-kW GT500, designed for large-scale applications.
Stephen Lacey talked with Stefan Dietrich from Q-Cells about the company’s thin-film plans and our host Jennifer Runyon met with two other companies that are playing in the web space. CH2M Hill, in fact, talked about the innovation award it received from the Interstate Renewable Energy Council for its solar mapping system of the city of San Francisco.
The Solar Map displays all known solar electric installations in the city — rooftop by rooftop — and gives residents and businesses a detailed estimate of their building’s solar potential. She also met with start-up Wattbot, a company that introduced its new online community for consumers and businesses. Users of its web-based system receive free energy recommendations after answering any number of detailed questions. Product, service and financial providers can then access these residential customer leads. And we took a brief look at Evergreen Solar’s new A-Series solar panels.
Jennifer Runyon ended the day by walking through the empty tradeshow floor with Julia Hamm, chair of Solar Power International to hear her overall reactions to the show and find our what’s in store for next year.

I’m interested in helping promote, introduce, sell and service residential-type SOLAR PACKS (3-5KW ) 220v/60Hertz in third world countries - most specially in Southeast Asia.
We have an on-going electrical distribution and service outfit on site, serving mostly rural area customers and small-scale coops in the PHILIPPINES. I’m sure those who desire to break into this market will find great reception - more so if the prices are within reach or maybe, installment payments with rural bank guarantees.
We are willing to make representations with government and local entitties to help pave the way for product introductions and demonstrations. We already have established linkages with both regulatory, customer, funding and technical outfits.
We do the heavy lifting for you.
