As part of the information acquisition tasks of the ISCWG (International Solar Commercialization Working Group), two discrete but related activities were undertaken commencing in May 1978: (1) Interviews with United States industry to determine the status of the solar sector's interest in, and actual entry into, the international solar market. (2) Visits to France, Belgium, West Germany, Italy and other European countries to obtain data on, and assess the scope and direction of government and industry solar programs; to assess energy and solar scenarios and solar applications; to identify areas of United States industrial or cooperative involvement and barriers to such involvement; and to develop an ISCWG modus operandi for subsequent overseas trips. The first such subsequent overseas trips were made after the June 1978 Cairo Solar Energy Symposium to the Middle East, Africa, and selected European countries. Those trips are reported separately.
