Photovoltaic and LED lighting solutions at the University of Bath, Thursday 12 May 2011

The technologies of light are set to have a huge impact on the green economy. Photovoltaic solar panels are set to become a viable supplement to electricity generation.

Whilst solid state lighting with LEDs can drastically reduce the electricity required to light our homes and businesses. LED and PV technologies have much in common, both are based on semiconductors, both operate at low voltage, both need high efficiency, both require initial investment with long return, both require new approaches for building integration and both will see huge growth in the next few years.

This event is for anyone advising on or working with renewable energy solutions, those looking to understand developments in PV and LED lighting, how they compare, and the prospects for them being used together. Given the potential, an interactive roundtable discussion will seek to identify the issues with combining PV and LEDs on a larger scale, the road blocks, when such combined deployments can be expected and what their impact would be.

The University of Bath is hosting this seminar in Lecture Theatre 2.1, Building 3E Claverton Campus, Bath, BA2 7AY. Directions available at www.bath.ac.uk/maps and advanced registration is required at www.regonline.co.uk/lightingenergy
