This will be the first time that this new technology - the SF-1100S - will be shown in Europe. The SF-1100S is the CPV technology which SolFocus will be installing in Greece as part of its 10MW project with Samaras Group. Installation of the systems will begin this summer. The company also expects to be installing in other European countries including Italy and Portugal before the end of the year. At the conference on April 28th SolFocus will be sharing with the conference attendees its ISFOC experience. SolFocus was part of the first phase of the ISFOC project, and was the first company to complete its installations. The company has a total of .5MW installed at ISFOC. "We are extremely pleased with the performance of our systems," commented SolFocus Europe President Roberto de Diego. "Of particular importance with new technology is consistency. Our systems have performed at or above rated levels consistently over the nine months since installation." SolFocus founder and Chairman Gary D. Conley will also be participating in the conference on April 29th, chairing the session on New Markets for CPV. Mr. Conley was an early visionary for commercialization of the industry with his research into CPV approaches which would allow high volume, low cost manufacturing. This research led to the founding of SolFocus in late 2006. Mr. Conley was also instrumental in the formation of the CPV Consortium, an industry organization dedicated to the advancement of the CPV industry. The CPV Consortium will be having an information meeting at the conference for new members who want to be engaged in directing the evolution of and infrastructure for the industry.
