Coherent, Inc. to Present at Photovoltaics Summit 2008
We just received this friendly press release for a local company, Coherent, Inc. just down the road in Santa Clara, CA, Enjoy! Be sure to regularly check our solar power industry events calendar for more info on this and other solar events...
June 16, 2008 - Coherent, Inc., the leading manufacturer of lasers and laser-based solutions for the solar industry, today announced that Finlay Colville, Director of Solar Marketing, will speak at IntertechPira's Photovoltaics Summit 2008 at the Hilton San Diego Resort in San Diego, CA on Thursday, June 19, on current and emerging laser applications within the solar industry.
"The summit is a great opportunity both to share some of the novel laser processes currently being implemented within new production line equipment used by solar cell manufacturers, and to connect with some of the world's leading companies active throughout the solar value chain," Coherent's Director of Solar Marketing Colville stated. "Lasers are currently used in c-Si cell manufacturing for applications such as edge isolation and laser grooved buried contacts, and in thin film panel production at the cell interconnection or patterning stages. Non-contact laser based equipment is set to become the preferred choice of tooling within next-generation production lines where high-efficiency concepts are increasingly adopted on thin sub-200-micron thick wafers."
The 3rd annual international summit runs from June 18-20 and focuses on
business and technical innovations in the solar industry. Over the
course of three days the conference program will feature two keynote
presentations, 22 plenary session talks, two panels and two half-day
pre-conference workshops. In all, 35 industry leaders from around the
globe, including India, Australia, Japan, Germany and the US, will
provide a comprehensive assessment of the global market, finance and
investments, developments in crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV), the
outlook for silicon feedstock and manufacturing, advances in thin films
and future generation PV, balance of system (BOS) and applications.
ABOUT IntertechPira's Photovoltaics Summit 2008 - The summit will address the most salient business and technical issues facing the global PV industry. This conference will bring together industry experts, manufacturers, researchers and end users for a balanced, comprehensive discussion of the opportunities and challenges surrounding photovoltaic markets, investment, production, applications and technological requirements, challenges and breakthroughs.

DIY Solar Pool Heater
This morning one of our readers sent us a little do it yourself tip for heating a swimming pool based on what one of her friends is doing. The full comment follows: "Not a question, but a little info: Knowing how hot the water gets in a garden hose, a friend with a swimming pool bought a bunch, I do not know how much, of black garden hose. She spread it out in big curls on top of a nearby flat roofed building. She then fixed up a small recirculating pump, ran the water to the swimming pool to warm...Headlines:
