Hundreds of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and policymakers gather in San Jose this week for Solar Power 2006, billed as the nation’s largest solar energy conference.
The agenda is here. After pre-conference workshops today, Solar Power 2006 offically opens Tuesday morning. Sessions at the four-day event range from the geeky – Silicon Feedstock Manufacturing Developments – to the forward-looking – California: The World’s Third Largest Solar Market and Growing. One panel discussion that should be well-attended is What’s In, What’s Hot: Investing Opportunities in Solar Power, featuring VCs, angel investors and hedge fund managers. The wombat will be blogging from the conference beginning Wednesday.
