AUSES CELEBRATES 50TH YEAR WITH TWO INDUSTRY CONFERENCES
The Australian Solar Energy Society (AuSES) is celebrating its 50th year in 2012 by hosting two key solar industry conferences to showcase how far solar has come in the past 50 years in Australia.
“AuSES is one of the world’s oldest solar energy organisations. Indeed the prestigious International Solar Energy Society was born out of AuSES, and was headquartered in Melbourne for many years,” said John Grimes the Chief Executive of AuSES.
One of the key events this year is the East Solar Expo & Conference to be presented by AuSES and international partner AUPVSEE at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre from the 21-22nd of August. www.eastsolar2012.com
“This event will feature a line-up of expert solar speakers who will chart the rise of solar and its market prospects out to 2020. Best of all it will be a free event, to educate people on the significant contribution solar is already making,” said Grimes.
AuSES is also proud to be running the Solar 2012, the organisation’s 50th anniversary event in early December in Melbourne. This golden jubilee event will showcase solar research, and spotlight real solar projects that are delivering cost effective, emission free electricity.
“Australian inventiveness, and can do attitude has proven decisive in many solar breakthroughs. From the pioneering engineers of the CSIRO who helped develop solar hot water, to the University of New South Wales who regularly set global solar photovoltaic efficacy records.”
“Our universities have trained some of the global solar leaders including executives at Suntech, China Sunenergy, Trina, CSG Solar and Solarfun.”
“We have also seen leading solar companies launched in Australia make it big internationally. Areva Solar (formally Ausra) is an excellent example of this.”
“This is an exciting time as over 1 million Australian homes have solar hot water, and over 500,000 have solar panels. We expect much more to be done in the next three years as the cost of solar falls to record lows with production increases”.
