Ladies and Gentlemen,

After the great success of the Conferencia de la Industria Solar in 2007 and 2008, Solarpraxis AG is organising the third staging of this event to take place in October 2009, once more supported by eclareon, an international strategic consultancy focused on renewable energy markets.

By now, this annual conference has become a main debating platform as well as a place for the exchange of information and knowledge concerning the solar energy and other related industries. It aims at bringing together the industry’s experts with the financial world, the media, and political representa-tives.

Solarpraxis AG itself is a provider of expertise and services in the renewable energy sector. By means of this conference, Solarpraxis AG brings its technical know-how and its many years of experience with the communication of renewable energy issues to the Spanish market.

This year’s high-level programme shows that the event will be once more the most important one of its kind within the Spanish solar industry, as international speakers will be talking about recent developments and all major organisa-tions of the solar sector will be present at the meeting.

Thus, on behalf of Solarpraxis AG and all our partners and sponsors, we warmly invite you to attend this year’s conference and would be glad to welcome you in Madrid later this year!

Karl Heinz Remmers Anika Ulber CEO, Solarpraxis AG Director Spain, Solarpraxis AG
