CHARLOTTE, N.C. (June 30, 2010) – Thought leaders representing over thirty leading Solar companies attended Camstar Systems, Inc.’s “The Summit on Solar Quality” yesterday in Santa Clara, CA. They all agreed that the industry must embrace the resources currently available (best known methods and technologies) to advance product quality and accelerate grid parity.
“The Summit on Solar Quality brought together the top minds to address issues critical to the success of the solar industry,” said Jody Cowan, Managing Director of Strategy22. “I think attendees left the summit with a new appreciation for how a renewed focus on quality can accelerate innovation and speed up their profitability.”
“This industry is at a critical juncture,” said Jigar Shah, CEO of Carbon War Room and founder of SunEdison. “Companies that embrace quality at all levels of their organizations will thrive, even without subsidies.”
Many of the issues addressed at the Solar Summit are detailed in Camstar’s eBook, “Taking the Solar Industry Beyond Grid Parity”, which is available for download at www.camstar.com/ebook-solar.
