SEMI, the global industry association serving the manufacturing supply chains for the microelectronic, display and photovoltaic industries, has announced the formation of an India PV advisory committee and an international PV exposition SOLARCON India in Hyderabad in 2009.

SOLARCON India will focus on advancing the global PV supply chain in India.

Many experts believe that India may become the fourth largest generator of solar energy worldwide over the next few years. In 2009, approximately 130 MW of shipments are projected, compared with approximately 30 MW in 2008. In addition, through a new government incentive for solar power plants introduced in January 2008, the India market is expected to experience rapid and sustained growth over the next few years.
