Global Solar Energy to Present Innovative, Flexible Thin-Film Technology at Intersolar North America

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Solar Energy:

WHAT:	Dr. Jeff Britt, chief technology officer at Global Solar Energy, is presenting the innovative applications of Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) thin-film technology on flexible substrates at Intersolar North America (Booth 9105). Dr. Britt will present as part of the Photovoltaic portion of the conference: Innovative Concepts for Cells & Modules (Thin-Film), and join a follow-up panel with other thin-film solar leaders for an industry discussion.
	Global Solar has developed a proprietary process for manufacturing thin-film CIGS photovoltaic cells and modules, and is the only company reliably producing CIGS that can be encapsulated in traditional glass modules or in a flexible substrate. Dr. Britt will discuss Global Solar's unique production processes at its new Tucson, Ariz., manufacturing plant - the largest of its kind in the world with its phase-one annual production of 40 MW - as well as for a second plant in Berlin, Germany, with planned production capacity of 35 MW.
WHEN:	Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 5:10 p.m. PDT
WHERE:	Intersolar North America (in conjunction with SEMICON West)
	InterContinental Hotel (adjacent the Moscone West Convention Center)
	888 Howard Street, Level 3
	San Francisco
WHO:	Dr. Jeff Britt, CTO, oversees Global Solar's research, development and engineering, and helped develop the Company's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Tucson. Dr. Britt has authored and co-authored more than 45 publications and holds two U.S. patents. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and his M.S. in Engineering Science from the University of South Florida, and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Florida.
