(Camstar: Charlotte, NC) -- Thought leaders representing more than 30 leading solar companies recently attended Camstar Systems Inc.’s “The Summit on Solar Quality” in Santa Clara, California. They all agreed that the industry must embrace the resources currently available (i.e., best-known methods and technologies) to advance product quality and accelerate grid parity.

“The Summit on Solar Quality brought together the top minds to address issues critical to the success of the solar industry,” says Jody Cowan, managing director of Strategy22. “I think attendees left the summit with a new appreciation for how a renewed focus on quality can accelerate innovation and speed up their profitability.”

Jigar Shah, CEO of Carbon War Room and founder of SunEdison, agrees. “This industry is at a critical juncture,” he says.  “Companies that embrace quality at all levels of their organizations will thrive, even without subsidies.”

Many of the issues addressed at the solar summit are detailed in Camstar’s e-book, Taking the Solar Industry Beyond Grid Parity, which is available for download at www.camstar.com/sites/solar/ebook.
