Held in Washington DC in September, the 3rd Annual Solar Policy & Economics Forum will examine the status and potential of the US solar market at the end of the 2010 legislative period. With its strategic location in Washington, the forum will not only assemble the key players from the solar industry but also bring together policy makers, lobbyists and the financial community. With this unique mix of attendees this established conference has become the place to attend for expert analysis and focussed discussions on the current status of US policy and the impacts this and other factors have on the economics of solar in the country.
