DUNMORE Vice President John Jordon to Speak on Reducing Solar Energy Costs

BRISTOL, Pa., July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Solar technology providers have the tools to reduce the cost of solar energy and make it grid-competitive, DUNMORE Corporation Vice President John Jordon will tell the audience during Renewable Energies Integration Virtual Summit on July 27. Jordon's presentation will focus on the need for reducing manufacturing costs to drive down the cost of solar energy.

"For years the solar industry has relied on solar module efficiency improvements to bring down the price of solar energy," Jordon says. "However, if the focus continues to be exclusively on efficiency we're only attacking half of the problem. Manufacturing costs have to decline as efficiency improves for solar to be cost-competitive with fossil fuels and other renewable energy sources."

Jordon's presentation will include strategies for reducing costs, illustrated with examples from DUNMORE's FastCert™ program and other customer engagements.
