This symposium shall be dedicated in particular to the questions of small 'off-grid' electricity supply with PV. A scientific committee, selected from the most experienced actors worldwide from industry, from academia and from market development and financing is organizing this event.The symposium will concentrate on the following fields of applications:- power for remote rural households in systems which do not need a distribution grid, typically known as 'Solar Home Systems', - power for off-grid civil infrastructure like schools, medical clinics, churches, mosques and temples, administration offices, water pumping and the like,- power for industrial infrastructure like telecommunication equipment or remote sensing,- power for integrated equipment which needs 'no power supply' like solar lanterns, solar street lights, solar radios and the like.We hope, that you will be open to discuss all aspects of these small PV applications, from the components, including the batteries or other alternatives for energy storage, to the systems, from market development to the questions of financing.We are looking forward to seeing you in May.
