Bulgaria is on the verge of becoming the world's leading solar power producer with large international solar projects and significant solar potential equal to that of Northern Spain and exceeding Germany by 10 - 15%. Currently foreign investors are racing to Bulgaria to be part of the rapid growth of the solar sector encouraged by the European Union and the Bulgarian Government.
The Bulgaria Solar Energy Summit took place on 27-28 October 2011 in Sofia, Bulgaria, bringing together around 90 government officials, solar farm owners and developers, and solution providers to discuss local regulations, investment opportunities and the advanced technologies needed to help shape the solar industry in Bulgaria.
