BANGALORE, INDIA: Solarcon India 2009, India's first focused event for the Solar / PV space which was inaugurated by Shri K Rosaiah, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on November 9 concluded on Wednesday.

SEMI, the main organization behind the show also shared that with the first edition successful and receiving overwhelming industry and government response, it is going to be back in Hyderabad with a bigger, better Solarcon India 2009 between November 15-17, 2010, said a press release.

The Inaugural edition of Solarcon India saw 3000 business visitors attending the event of which 63 per cent were senior management including executives at the Board level with the rest occupied by middle management professionals. Majority of the visitors were from the device/equipment manufacturing, materials, sub-systems, component and part manufacturing segments reinforcing the growth of the Indian industry backwards and forward to encompass the entire supply chain.

The conference saw speakers including Prof. Eicke Weber (PhD), director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE); K. Subramanya, CEO of Tata BP Solar; G. Rajeswaran, CTO of Moser Baer Photovoltaic; Dr. Charlie Gay, president of the Solar Business Group at Applied Materials; Dr. Pramod Deo IAS, chairperson, CERC; Dr.Rajiv Arya, CEO, Moser Baer India; Anand Rangachary, managing director – South Asia and Middle East, Frost Sullivan and Prof. Peter Adelmann, Ulm University of Applied Sciences, Germany among others, the release said.

There were multiple major announcements made on the sidelines of the event including Andhra Pradesh Government's announcement of a Solar City in Anantpur and a policy at the state level building on the National Solar Mission which is slated later this week besides those from global majors to Indian companies. It was estimated that $16 billion in investments will be attracted by the state of Andhra Pradesh in this space once the policy incentives kick in.

Dan Martin, executive vice-president, and head of the PVGroup worldwide, said, "The inaugural edition exceeded our expectations and am pleased with the response from all stakeholders to Solarcon India 2009. Being a key initiative of SEMI in the Indian market, it provides us the confidence to now pick up the learning and inputs provided by this platform and take it forward through the time tested collaborative approach of SEMI globally."

Sathya Prasad, president, SEMI India, said, "We have identified Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) and standards (Global) as the areas of focus. Already we have brought for the first time an international technology workshop in EHS to India and we will follow it up with other initiatives. In standards, the focus will be to start the engagement of the country in the global standards process which is critical as the Indian industry starts growing in the space."

SEMI, active from 1970, is a global industry association serving the manufacturing supply chains for the microelectronic, display and photovoltaic industries.
