In a week that saw California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger sign the $3.35 billion Million Solar Roofs Bill into law - solidifying the nation's largest solar energy program - solar industry leaders announced that Solar Power 2006 is projected to easily become the largest solar event in US history.
The conference program features the following keynote speakers: Michael Peevey, president of the California Public Utilities Commission and architect of the California Solar Initiative; Vinod Khosla, founder of Sun Microsystems and clean tech investor; Celeste Migliore, manager of Toyota Motor Corporation's hybrid division; and (invited) California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who on Monday signed the $3.35 billion Million Solar Roofs Bill into law.
Special events will include a networking reception at the Tech Museum of Innovation, which features hands-on and interactive exhibits including "Green by Design". The conference will also host a "Celebrating Solar Innovation" wine and food pairing reception, featuring wines from vineyards that have installed solar photovoltaics on their facilities, as well as a tour of local solar installations.
