In his 2008 address to attendees, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "Solar Power International conference and expo is by far the biggest and best in the United States. It's a showcase for this industry whose time has really come. And the prospects for solar energy have never been brighter." In fact, the U.S. industry grew 16 percent in 2008 despite a faltering economy, with photovoltaic growth leading at an unprecedented 81 percent and solar water heating growth at 50 percent.

Together the conference program and exhibit hall encompass the complete range of solar energy technologies, including photovoltaics, concentrating photovoltaics, solar thermal electric, solar hot water, and space heating and cooling. Attendees represent every part of the solar value chain and its customers–including solar industry professionals, utility executives, investors, finance, engineers and policymakers–with an international contingent representing more than 90 countries.

“The event’s growth has mirrored that of the solar energy industry, gaining significant momentum in the U.S., especially with the growing interest from electric utilities,” said SEPA Executive Director Julia Hamm. President and CEO of SEIA, Rhone Resch added, “Despite a challenging economic climate, the industry is poised for continued growth, creating hundreds of thousands of permanent jobs and increasing our energy independence and security. The U.S. market has benefitted from recent policies supporting solar and more are expected from a new administration committed to stimulating domestic solar manufacturing and installation.”
