You can instantly start a Solar Panel Making business by attending it. Besides the PV, another bloom technology in the exhibition is the biofuel technology. A lot of pioneer researches had been conducted in Japan. This year, a new technology develop is the electricity generation directly from the heat. The technology has become more promosing and it is going to be study for the cost of large scale production.
