Global Solar Summit
The inaugural Global Solar Summit was held October 31-November 1 in Henderson, Nevada. The event was held in recognition of the tremendous growth of utility-scaled solar projects in our region and the outstanding business opportunities that they present to so many companies.
The Summit brought together four (4) very important partners in the Solar Development Industry: major developers with existing and proposed projects, world leading solar panel manufacturers, regional electric utilities, and a diverse group of sub-supplier companies. Below you will find the presentations that were given during the Global Solar Summit.
