Welcome of ISES
Dear SWC 2011 Participant,
I would like to extend my warmest greetings to all of you attending the International Solar Energy Society’s
Solar World Congress 2011 in Kassel, Germany. This year’s Congress continues a long legacy of providing
the most up-to-date information on renewable energy technology trends and breakthroughs, global and
regional policies, and country-specific statistics.
This year’s Congress theme, as well as the vision of ISES, is “Rapid Transition to a Renewable Energy
World”. We are currently experiencing a true clean energy revolution worldwide with the developing and
„ISES’ vision of the future
is clean energy access to
all populations, including
even the world’s poorest.“

positive steps, much remains to be done. Global carbon dioxide concentrations continue to increase, despite
progressive energy efficiency measures and sustainable energy practices. And the benefits of a renewable
energy economy are already being demonstrated, not only here in Germany but in many places around the
world; these technologies are creating thousands of jobs and rebuilding local economies. But despite these
the dire warnings of scientific experts of the climate consequences for such increases. Energy security is still
problematic in almost all corners of the world. Nearly 1.4 billion people continue to live without any access
to modern energy services at all, and many countries are in competition for global traditional non-renewable
energy supplies. This year’s Congress, through hundreds of technical papers, keynote presentations, plenary
speeches, and numerous side meetings and events, will highlight the developments that are accelerating
progress to a renewable energy future.
ISES’ vision of the future is clean energy access to all populations, including even the world’s poorest. We
know from the readiness of our technologies that such a vision is realistic, but we also know that to achieve
this vision the will of policy makers and the mobilization of public and private finance are needed. And we
know that all levels of societies working together through gender engagement, community involvement, and
public education help make this vision a reality. This year’s Congress offers many examples of these efforts
being put into practice.
I wish to congratulate all of you for making the thoughtful decision to attend the SWC 2011. Many individuals
and committees have worked very hard these past three years to make this Congress a success. I especially
want to thank the Congress organizers, including Kassel University and PSE, and in particular the Congress
Chair, Prof. Klaus Vajen, for their dedication and hard work in bringing to you an outstanding, educational,
and memorable program.
Welcome of Kassel University
Dear Participants,
The ISES Solar World Congresses (SWC) first took place in 1955. This year the global solar community will
meet in Kassel, Germany to share the latest in solar energy research and development. In the long tradition
of biennial symposiums, the SWC is still the most important scientific event on the topics of solar energy
and buildings in particular as well as renewable energies and energy efficiency in general.
The debates about climate change and peak oil, as well as the recent disaster in Fukushima, Japan, have
increased the importance and accelerated the development of renewable energies globally in ways no one
could have foreseen ten years ago.
„The ISES Solar World
Congress 2011 is an
excellent opportunity to
visit the Kassel region,
the centre of the German
renewable energy sector.“
Against the background of dynamic growth and commercial success of renewable energies, the SWC
