SunGreen Systems’ principals travel the world inspecting manufacturing facilities, seeking the latest technology, learning about pending technical breakthroughs and staying current with industry trends. In the last year, the firm has participated in trade shows and seminars on three continents. Finally, close to home, last week (Oct. 23-26), SunGreen Systems attended and participated in Solar Power International 2009 – in nearby Anaheim, California. This time some 25,000+ participants traveled here to attend the show – and many of them visited SunGreen Systems’ booth. All of SunGreen’s staff had the opportunity to experience firsthand the size of the industry in the massive exhibit halls and to attend cutting-edge presentations. SunGreen met with customers, alliance partners and several suppliers. It was a very productive week for SunGreen.

SunGreen Systems visits Freiburg!

EH — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 23:18:34 +0000

SunGreen Systems works diligently to stay ahead of the industry in terms of technology, manufacturing techniques, financing innovations, etc. Accordingly, SunGreen’s partners have been on the move this month. Our chairman, Mr. YY Lin, traveled to Germany, the world’s leader in solar adoption and innovation, for the second time this year. Mr. Lin participated in Solar Summit 2009 in Freiburg where the world’s leading photovoltaic experts met to discuss such topics as sustainable development, BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), “solar cities,” net zero-energy (NZE) buildings, “the building shell of the future,” multi-functional facades, etc. Mr. Lin also visited the renowned solar institute and many examples of advanced solar applications in and around Freiburg. Rick Hsu met with leading PV cell and and panel manufacturers in Taiwan early in the month to discuss the global solar market and their intentions for the United States. He also met with financiers in Taipei. Later in the month, principals Benny Tse and Eugene Page accompanied by two quality control specialists inspected a major panel manufacturing facility in China. They also met with “green” financiers in Hong Kong. SunGreen will close October with its participation in one of the world’s largest solar conventions, Solar Power International in Anaheim, California. SunGreen will have a prominent booth and participate in many of the educational sessions.

SunGreen Systems visits PV Japan and China!

EH — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:17:02 +0000

Three SunGreen executives attended PVJapan 2009, June 24-26, at Makuhari Meese, just outside Tokyo. PVJapan is a comprehensive trade show and seminar series for the global solar-photovoltaic industry co-organized by SEMI and the Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA). SEMI is a global industry association serving the manufacturing supply chain for the microelectronic, display, and photovoltaic industries. SunGreen was there to meet with prospective equipment suppliers, scout new products, and stay abreast of technical advances in the industry coming out of Asia and Europe.

Last week, two SunGreen partners visited Jiangsu province in China, which has developed into the epicenter of China’s photovoltaic industry. The partners met with solar cell and module manufacturers to understand their objectives for entering the US market and to observe their manufacturing processes, quality control procedures, etc. China has serious environmental issues and SunGreen believes it is inevitable that China will eventually make such a major push into photovoltaics for its domestic market that it will have implications for the industry worldwide.

SunGreen Systems attends Intersolar Conference!

EH — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:13:38 +0000

Mr. YY Lin, Chairman and Co-Founder of Los Angeles-based SunGreen Systems attended InterSolar 2009 last week in Munich, Germany. This important exposition featured more than 1500 exhibitors from around the world including equipment manufacturers, integrators, financiers, architects, engineers, consultants, etc. High energy costs since the early 1970′s and long-standing government support including feed-in tariffs have afforded the EU considerable experience with solar and its applications. Mr. Lin held high level meetings with leading European manufacturers and integrators, many of whom are now eyeing expansion to the US market, about potential strategic alliances or partnerships.

SunGreen is proud to announce that it will be participating as an exhibitor at Solar Power International 2009, the year’s largest business to business solar event in North America! The event is being held in Anaheim, California from October 27 – 29, 2009. We will have a booth at the event and look forward to meeting you in October! To visit our booth, check this floorplan. We are Booth #1691.

SunGreen Systems launches new web presence to better serve commercial, residential, municipal and wholesale clients. We know that the technical side of what we do can sometimes be daunting, so we have included a glossary of solar terminology, spec sheets on our products, and documentation on cost savings and rebates available to those taking the forward step of incorporating SunGreen solar systems as part of their energy plan.
