2010年光伏质量简报会：中心议点是保护光伏投资者的投资安全，该议会预期于2010年8月在伦敦举行。该议会的核心议题是调查光伏项目的投资状况，并揭露光伏行业的商业陷阱和问题区域。
“全球光伏商业发展极为迅速”该会议的组织者Solarpraxis评论道。当一个新市场被打开——例如英国——光伏产业的名牌企业和新手便带着他们的科技和产品一下子蜂拥而至。在长期的FIT光伏补贴政策的刺激下，不论私人投资者还是企业都信心十足的将光伏系统的安装视为一项可靠的长期投资。
但是他们也会心存疑问，是否他们的这份信心是一个错误！一些不走运的投资者很显然有过这样的失望经历，在投资光伏的短短几年后，他们发现自己选择的那些糟糕设备和在投资上做的那些愚蠢的决定使得光伏系统问题百出。在信息缺乏和商业环境不透明的情况下，投资者选择的组件很有可能是质量极差的产品。在这种形式下，投资者的损失几乎不可避免。而且在光伏系统中，很可能某一个部件发生障碍会导致整个光伏系统的瘫痪。
然而会议组织者宣称，如果他们能够明白这些问题，并且知道在哪里可以找到这些问题的答案。那么这些私人投资者，项目开发者，建筑专家，采购经理，安装者，投资者以及光伏股票持有者便可以确保这些可能遇到的问题其实是可以避免的。
该会议被设计成一个提高光伏质量鉴别知识的会议，目的是避免不正确的投资，避免公司在采购，投资，或者持股光伏产品上造成的数百万计的财务浪费。
该会议举行地点为伦敦英国建筑王室学会，时间为2010年8月4日-5日。
UK conference set to tackle subject of PV investment
The Photovoltaics Quality Briefing 2010: Key considerations to safeguard your capital investment, scheduled to be held in London this October, has announced it will be investigating the subject of photovoltaics (PV) investment and how to safeguard businesses against common pitfalls and problem areas.

The global solar business is developing rapidly, say organizers Solarpraxis. As new markets open up – such as in the UK – both long-established brands and new businesses are offering their technology and products. Encouraged by incentives such as long-term feed-in tariffs, private individuals and enterprises are confidently making substantial investments in photovoltaic installations.
But, they ask, is their confidence misplaced? “Some investors have certainly had a rude awakening when they have discovered that poor decisions when selecting equipment mean their investments have lost value after just a few years. If lack of information and transparency at the purchasing stage means that poor quality modules are chosen, then heavy losses can result. And the malfunctioning of a single component can lead to the failure of an entire PV system,” they continued.
However, they say that by understanding the issues and knowing what to look out for, private individuals, project developers, building professionals, purchasing managers, installers, investors, financiers and other stakeholders can ensure that potential problems of this kind are avoided.
The event has been designed to increase knowledge of PV quality, prevent malinvestment, safeguard companies against potential losses of millions in purchasing, financing and shareholder investment, and protect them against third-party liability.
The conference is set to be held at the Royal Institute of British Architects, London from 4 to 5 October
