Interview: Setting the scene for the 2011 Solar Power UK conference & expo

As an emerging market for photovoltaics since the introduction of a feed-in tariff in April, 2010 the UK market has grown rapidly. However, the future sustainability of the UK PV industry is not yet assured. In an interview conducted by sister website, PV-Tech with Carston Pump, Energy Director at Wagner & Co, some of the key underlining issues the UK market needs to address are raised. Ongoing training and professional practices to avoid the ‘Double Glazing’ tag and focus on the right end-markets - echo the thesis behind the Solar Power UK conference and exhibition being held at the ICC Birmingham, UK between 26 – 28th of October, 2011.
