Solar companies Conergy and NEXTracker, a solar tracking company, have jointly launched the Latin America and Caribbean Solar Alliance (LACSA), to further solar industry growth in the region.

LACSA will primarily deal with four main activities that involve sponsoring ongoing Latin America-focused solar events across the globe; underscoring practical knowledge from Latin America experts at solar industry conferences.

In addition, LACSA will facilitate online knowledge and content sharing forums while conducting education and advocacy on the developments in the industry.

LACSA will consist of a nine-member board that will direct, organise and promote the ongoing initiatives apart from driving strategies to incite greater PV deployment.

LACSA panel event will take place at SPI 2015, with Adam James of Greentech Media as moderator, at the Industry Trends booth on 15 September at Solar Power International in Anaheim, CA.

NEXTracker chief commercial officer Marco Garcia said: "LACSA will be a terrific springboard for all of us doing business in Latin America and the Caribbean.

"This is an extraordinary time for solar growth in Latin America; the PV pipeline is huge. LACSA will enable us to be proactive ¬ collaborating to sow the seeds for solar to flourish in the region. We look forward to active industry participation that will bring broader PV deployment to fruition."

Conergy CEO Andrew de Pass said: "After winning 60MW in Brazil’s large auction last month, Conergy has received lots of inquiries within the industry. We are excited for this timely launch and to be at the forefront of fostering industry collaboration with NextTracker.

The first LACSA event took place in July this year, with a panel discussion by solar industry leaders and was attended by over 80 solar professionals.
