The Latin American participants, some 20 in all, were being very well prepared to meet the challenges of new PV markets \u2013 such as those in their respective countries \u2013 and to pass on what they\u2019ve learned to local plant planners and installers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven that the amount of solar energy generated in Mexico is expected to grow from its current 44 megawatts to as much as 2,000 megawatts over the next eight years, it is crucial to strengthen photovoltaics in Central America,\u201d states Jorge Luis Torres Carrillo, sales engineer in Sales New Markets.
