Experts to Gather in San Diego on December 3-4 to Discuss USA Solar Balance of Systems and Balance of Plants Strategy

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 5, 2009

Solar Balance of Systems and Balance of Plants is no longer an afterthought but is key to ensuring solar projects are successful. Constituting 40% of overall project costs, it is crucial for solar companies to ensure they are minimizing BoS/BoS costs to improve overall Solar LCOE.

In the last few years, solar R&D has concentrated on raising efficiency and reducing prices, and as a result manufacturers and developers in CSP, CPV, Thin Film and traditional PV have all seen real life cost reductions. Industry leaders now face the challenge of differentiating their project from the rest, and as a result, Balance of Systems/Balance of Plants (BoS/BoP) has become the critical cost factor in lowering a solar plant's Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE). It's off the back of the continued challenges in reducing these costs and increasing overall efficiency, that New Solar Today will be hosting the Solar Balance of Systems and Balance of Plants Conference & Expo on December 3-4 in San Diego.

Over 25 industry leading experts are already confirmed to share their expertise on how reduce BoS/BoP costs to reduce solar LCOE in 2010 and beyond including ACS Cobra, Suntech America, SolFocus, EnXco, Aries Ingenieria y Sistemas, Tessera Solar, SENER and many more!

The event has overwhelming support from the industry, with key sponsors including Siemens, SMA, Enphase, Unirac, Tigo Energy, Satcon and Fluor all ensuring that they don't miss out on this unrivalled opportunity to discuss how to lower that all important LCOE and make their project profitable!

Belen Gallego, Founder and Director at New Solar Today recently said "Recent developments in the BoS/BoP conference as we move into the month before its inauguration, indicate that this is the area that is making the difference winning or losing in the battle for cost reduction and an efficient and solar plant - other than the modules themselves. Meeting with the right people at this key event, will ensure that you have 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."

Bringing Solar Developers together with EPCs, Technology Providers, Engineers, Investors, Analysts and many more to meet, learn and do business, this meeting will zone into every element of financing success. Full information is available now at http://www.newsolartoday.com/bosbop
