The Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference was held for the second time in India from the 19th of January to the 23rd of January, 2009. The Science City Convention Center of Kolkata was the choice of venue for the 18th International Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference and Exhibition. The event made its return to India after 16 years since the first conference was held at New Delhi in 1992. The Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference is said to be one of the three most important International conferences in the area of Solar Photovoltaics. Although it was focused on the Asia Pacific region; however, it witnessed participants from all over the world including the Reliance Solar Group. Besides the Reliance Solar Group the exhibition also showcased the most important producers, wholesalers, suppliers and system suppliers of the international solar industry.

The exhibit showcased a wide range of solar technology that encompassed new developments and trends of the industry. It offered a unique view of the entire range of products that the international solar industry had to offer. It was one of the largest solar technology events in the sub-continent that was spread over an area of 35,000 sq. ft. with a focus on Photovoltaic, solar thermal technology and solar architecture. The products and services were exhibited by participants from over 30 nations. The event saw participation from more than 600 exhibitors that included a total of 57 Indian and international companies.

The Reliance Solar Group which is a part of Reliance Industries had on display its wide range of Solar Module, Solar Lighting products and Solar Water Purifiers. Reliance Group also displayed the customization of urban and rural solar solutions along with their implementation capability. The exhibit grabbed attention and appreciation for its innovation as well as practicality of implementation. Solar Photovoltaic is gaining popularity as it generates electricity that is clean and abundant. The current growth rate of the Photovoltaic industry is 40%. The initiative is to promote the large scale application of clean energy and replace the use of fossil based fuels. In a developing economy like India, an abundant supply of energy will be quintessential for rapid economic development. It is anticipated that the Indian Photovoltaic industry will grow rapidly within the next five years and shall attract large scale investments in the near future.

Arrays of cells that contain materials like amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, etc. are called Solar Photovoltaics. These cells convert solar radiation into direct current electricity thereby generating electric power. All matters related to Solar Photovoltaic were discussed at the conference including financial and policy matters. It is estimated that by the year 2030 solar electricity will contribute about 5 to 7% to the total energy mix. The contribution of solar energy will increase at an accelerated rate thereafter. However, the current contribution of solar energy to the global energy mix is very small and it needs to be increased to control energy related problems like global warming and thereby encourage the development of clean sources of energy.
