SEMA was established June 10 at Flextronics’ campus in Milpitas, CA, as an educational, technical and professional association serving the solar manufacturing and related industries.
“On the basis of a very successful first meeting, we are now inviting all stakeholders in the industry to participate and help establish SEMA as a member-driven professional organization that will help propel solar energy to the forefront. We want SEMA to be regarded as an indispensible resource for professionals around the world, including key stakeholders in research, manufacturing, academia and government,” said Matthew Holzmann, president of Christopher Associates, one of the founding members.
