The solar market is hot – in more ways than one.

By then end of 2010, iSuppli anticipates 13.5 GW of solar installations will happen, up from the original forecast of 8.3 GW, due to better-than-expected Return on Investment (ROI) and upcoming cuts to Feed-in-Tariffs (FITs) worldwide.

In order to give a broader view of the Photovoltaic (PV) market, where these installations will take place, who stands to gain the most and a forecast to future years as well as an opportunity to talk to experts focused on this market on a daily basis, iSuppli along with SolarPV.TV are hosting a series of Webinars on a quarterly basis focusing on the latest trends and events happening inside the solar market.
 
The first Webinar will be held on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 3:30 pm PDT (5:30 pm CET) entitled “Solar PV Market Update:  The Outlook for the 2nd Half of 2010 and Beyond. Is Another Crash Coming?”

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to find out what the experts have to say about what the future holds for PV and the impact it will have on the global electronics value chain.
