| Reviewing first half-year The summer holiday season is now over and I hope that everybody has enjoyed her or his holiday. However, for Kipp & Zonen the summer is not a quiet period! It means evaluation of the first half year, preparation for the last quarter, and attending conferences and scientific meetings. Important for Kipp & Zonen were the Quadrennial Ozone Symposium (QOS) in Troms0, Norway and the quadrennial International Radiation Symposium (IRS 2008) organised by the International Radiation Commission in Iguasu, Brasilia. In both meetings Kipp & Zonen plays an important role and we were one of the sponsors of IRS 2008. Our instruments are frequently used for studies of which the results are made public in oral or poster presentations. For our marketing staff these meetings provide ideal opportunities to talk to our end users. We hear about our instruments' performance and quality and special applications, such as the performance of a pyranometer at -80 °C. Also we learn about difficulties and receive suggestions, which are often the initiative for improvements, or even a new product development. Reviewing the first half-year results a significant trend in our business can be recognised; steady solid growth in the market of solar energy. We now see a break-through in the usage of Kipp & Zonen products in operational applications. Initially our instruments were applied in the R&D phase of developing the technology, and for radiation budget studies. Now our equipment is being installed for performance studies of solar 'farms'. This clearly shows our leadership in the market of solar radiation instrumentation. During the last quarter of 2008 you can meet Kipp & Zonen people at the European Meteorological Society Annual Meeting (EMS 2008) in Amsterdam and the Meteorex/TECO meeting, organised by the World Meteorological Organisation in St Petersburg. During the EMS meeting Kipp will organise a workshop on solar radiation and the application of our sensors. You can find more information on the meetings in the following pages. I trust that you will enjoy reading this autumn edition full of practical information and insights to our company ■ Yours sincerely, Ben Dieterink, President Kipp & Zonen BV | ||||||||||
