Europe?
-- Has the module supply shortage ended?
-- How will the influx of new silicon production affect the industry in
the next two to three years?
-- How can utilities change their existing business models to make solar
part of their business rather than a competitor to their business?
-- What percentage of the total developed-world energy mix could
realistically eventually be provided by solar electricity and in what
timeframe?

About Solar Power 2007
The Solar Power Conference and Expo was created in 2004 when the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) joined together in partnership to fill an obvious void: the U.S. was missing a business-to-business solar conference and expo. With an industry growth rate of more than 40 percent per year, there was a need for a single event where industry could come together with potential customers, policymakers, investors, and other parties necessary for continued rapid growth. Solar Power 2007 is now recognized as the premiere solar event in the U.S. http://www.solarpowerconference.com .
