Advancing product quality is key to solar success
01. July 2010 | Markets & Trends | By: Becky StuartThe solar industry must embrace the resources currently available, i.e. the best-known methods and technologies, in order to advance product quality and accelerate grid parity, according to industry figures who attended Camstar Systems’ The Summit on Solar Quality, held in Santa Clara, the U.S.
“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,” added 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.”
“Thought leaders” representing over 30 solar companies attended the summit.
