INVEX 2009, the first worldwide event on the inverter industry
The conference programme »
INVEX 2009 is the first event in the world dedicated to the inverter industry, to be held Tuesday 24 November 2009, at the Congress Centre of fieramilano, Rho, the day before the inauguration of EnerSolar+, the international fair on solar energy, and HTE-Hi.Tech.Expo, the first event dedicated to science, research and advanced technologies.
"INVEX 2009, the first Inverter Day, is a unique initiative in the international fair panorama has immediately created much interest among operators," says Marco Pinetti, president of Artenergy Publishing, the company organizing the event. "Moreover, Italy has an important role in this sector and is, in fact, one of the main producers of inverters in the world."
Inverter Day will be dedicated to installers of solar energy plants and will deal with all aspects connected to the choice of inverters, their parameters, payback on investments, use with thin films, but also possible developments in integration of photovoltaics in the electricity grid, up to the efficiency of the anti-islanding protection of photovoltaic inverters connected to the Italian electricity grid, the most innovative applications in the field of mini wind energy plants and fuel cells.
Participation at INVEX 2009 is free of charge.
