Solar Power International 2009 was held last week in Anaheim, CA, with record numbers of attendees and exhibitors. It was a three-day whirlwind of conferences, workshops, training sessions, and exhibits designed to showcase new solar technologies and a chance for business-to-business networking. Keynote speakers included Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis, and actor and renewable energy supporter, Ed Begley, Jr.
Last year's conference was only about half the size of this year's, showing the huge growth in this sector. Attendance has been growing at the rate of about 40 percent each year:
For the fourth year in a row, The Solar Company team was excited to attend this year's conference.
Co-owner of The Solar Company, Christina Danenhower, enjoyed listening to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s passionate speech about renewable energy. "He was very down to earth and spoke for over an hour about the future of renewable energy."
Our partner, SunPower, also held special workshops to encourage and support their network of US dealers and ensure that the best solar installation practices are being implemented.
"It made me feel that I'm part of something important, " commented Rachelle Piekarczyk of The Solar Company. "Attending the SunPower classes was confirmation that they are a great company to work with and have superior products and customer service. I really feel good about offering our customers the best product out there."
