1THE BOS & BOP CONFERENCE & EXPO IN SAN DIEGO IS A UNIQUE EVENT FOR THE GLOBAL SOLAR INDUSTRYWe’re aware that there are other solar events out there, but there is nothing in the US that focuses exclusively on the specific business and technology challenges in Solar Balance of Plants and Balance of Systems. You will hear case studies from industry leading companies with firsthand experience of building, running and maintaining solar plants, but you will also get unique insights on emerging market opportunities.

PROJECT UPDATEAt no other event will you have the chance to hear from each of the companies with plants on the ground, and hear real experiences of planning, building and maintaining a solar plant.

INDEPENDENT FORUMNew Solar Today is an independent information provider. We are not here to sell you a particular idea, piece of research or vendor solution. That is why at the BoS & BoP Conference & Expo you’ll receive a well balanced, innovative and informative briefing to enable you to make the best decisions for your business.

EXPERT SPEAKERS, FRESH MATERIAL, INNOVATIVE THINKINGThe foremost experts in the industry who kick started solar projects and the companies who are doing it right now! And crucially, hear from the regulatory bodies, financiers and investors, whose decisions have the power to make or break your project.

BOS & BOP SOLUTIIONS EXHIBITION AREAMeet today’s leading solution providers as they take you through the latest cutting edge technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs and increase profits. Find out which products and services are the right fit for you and see demonstrations of the latest solutions in research and production – all under one roof.

OPEN DISCUSSIONS ON THE BIGGEST ISSUESWe are committed to showing both sides of the argument, and we are convinced that to achieve solutions, discussion is of the essence. For that reason, we have included panel sessions, speed networking, focus groups and over 20 hours of networking opportunities including a very special networking party on the evening of the first day.

The holy grail of solar energy is to reach grid parity and beat our traditional energy sources. That’s why in the last few years solar research and development has focused on boosting efficiency and reducing prices. Today we are seeing real world cost reductions. This, combined with the fall in global demand for PV in 2008-2009, has led to a rapid crash in price for thin film and PV modules. The net result is that Balance of Systems/Balance of Plants (BoS/BoP) has become the critical cost factor in lowering your plant’s Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE). Improving your BoS/BoP is one of the fastest and smartest ways you can give your solar business a real competitive advantage.

even mORe tO gAin fROm BALAnce Of SyStemS/BALAnce Of PLAntS...

The cost cuts you will gain from improving your BoS/BoP planning and design are vital - but in addition improved BoS/BoP will also have a strong impact on your plant’s future monitoring, efficiency and operations & maintenance. Better BoS/BoP will improve the operation of your plant throughout it’s entire life cycle!

The Solar Balance of Systems & Balance of Plants Conference + Expo 2009 has been created to provide you with the exact information and leading strategies you need to master your BoS/BoP and unleash the full profit potential of your solar project.

wheRe tO StARt with BALAnce Of SyStemS/BALAnce Of PLAntS?

With EPC constructors often in control of the design and construction process, it can be difficult to determine how BoS/BoP costs can be reduced according to the location, solar resources, proximity to the grid and services and general characteristics of your plant. You find yourself facing a vast array of tough questions:

• Isitbesttotrackornottotrack?

• Howdoyouoptimizeself-shadowing?

• WhatisthebesttechnologyforyourparticularlocationaccordingtoDNI,windload,environmentalissues?

• IntermsofBoS,whichtechnologywilldeliverthemostoverallsavings?

Clearly, you can’t just flip a switch and see results, you need a plan, a road map to set you on your path to improved BoS/BoP - that is why you need to attend the solar industry’s only BoS/BoP focused event - The Solar Balance of Systems & Balance of Plants Conference + Expo 2009.

the SOLutiOnS yOu neeD tO gO LARge ScALe

The BoS/BoP conference is the very first event that covers everything you need to get a large scale plant up and running – other than the modules themselves.

This Conference + Expo will arm you with the knowledge you need to develop and design your project, choose the right suppliers, choose the right monitoring system and build an optimized operations and maintenance plan that will cover the lifetime of your plant - maximizing efficiency at minimum cost.
