Tuesday, August 14, 2007 - IEEE SCV EDS Meeting:

"Unlocking the Potential of Solar Photovoltaics"

Speaker: Dr. Charlie Gay - Applied Materials
Subject: "Unlocking the Potential of Solar Photovoltaics"
Location: National Semiconductor Building E Auditorium,
      2900 Semiconductor Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95051.  
      See the NSC Campus driving directions
      and the NSC Building E location map
Time: 6:00 PM - Pizza , 6:15 PM - Lecture
Speaker Contact: Reza Arghavani

Abstract:

This talk will address the current state-of-the-art in converting sunlight to electricity.

An overview of the companies and countries making a meaningful impact on advancing the introduction of solar photovoltaics (PV) will be given. In addition, the ways that individuals and governments should act today to help accelerate solar PV and put the power, quite literally, into the hands of the people will be covered.

In the next 60 minutes, the sun will hit the earth with enough energy to meet all of the world's power needs for one year, if only we could harness it. Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a simple solution to a huge problem facing the world, and we have reached a tipping point that puts solar in true reach.

Biography:

Charlie Gay was named corporate vice president and general manager of the Solar Business Group at Applied Materials in 2006. An industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in the solar industry, Dr. Gay is responsible for establishing and building Applied Materials' solar business.

Dr. Gay is also a co-founder of the Greenstar Foundation, an organization that delivers solar power and internet access for health, education and microenterprise projects to small villages in the developing world. Greenstar has been recognized for its innovation by the World Bank, the Stockholm Challenge, the Technology Empowerment Network and the Tech Museum Awards.

Dr. Gay began his career in 1975 designing solar power system components for communications satellites at Spectrolab, Inc. and later joined ARCO Solar, where he established the research and development program and led the commercialization of single crystal silicon and thin film technologies.

In 1990, Dr. Gay became president and chief operating officer of Siemens Solar Industries and from 1994 to 1997, he served as Director of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the world's leading laboratory for energy efficiency and renewable energy research and technology. In 1997, Dr. Gay served as president and chief executive officer of ASE Americas, Inc., and in 2001 became chairman of the advisory board at SunPower Corporation.

Dr. Gay has a doctorate degree in physical chemistry from the University of California, Riverside. He holds numerous patents for solar cell and module construction and is the recipient of the Gold Medal for Achievement from the World Renewable Energy Congress.
