ATRAA, Australia’s largest solar industry conference, will take place at the Alice Springs Convention Centre this week.
ATRAA stands for the Appropriate Technology Retailers Association of Australia and has been running for 33 years. The event attracts local and international solar industry business leaders, suppliers and installers, students, trainers, teachers and manufacturers.
The event is run by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) and provides the clean energy industry a forum to share ideas, tackle key policy issues and discuss foreign investment barriers. The event also showcases best practice within the industry, disseminates information on government policies and outline CEC’s contributions to the industry.
This year’s program includes talks on the future of the Australian solar PV industry, RET implementation and the current state of the Australian solar PV sector. Site visits to Crowne Plaza, Alice Springs Solar Cities Airport Project, Bushlight and Desert Knowledge Australia Solar Centre will occur and the conference will also play host to the Clean Energy Australia Industry Awards 2010
Energy Matters will be represented at ATRAA this year by parent company Apollo Energy. The Apollo team will be showcasing the company’s revolutionary Sunlock solar panel mounting systems, Sanyo HIT solar modules and its range of newly arrived REC solar panels. REC Solar modules are a popular choice for home solar power systems in Europe and Energy Matters is the first Australian stockist of REC solar panels for the local home solar power market.
