Photovoltaics is booming, not least thanks to its integration with energy storage and electromobility, as decarbonization and sector coupling progress. This presents great opportunities for the electrical trade. The latest trends and innovations in this area will be showcased at The smarter E Europe. The continent’s largest platform for the energy industry, and its four parallel exhibitions Intersolar Europe, ees Europe, Power2Drive Europe and EM-Power Europe from June 14th to 16th, at Messe München.
In terms of installations of new PV systems, energy storage systems and electric vehicle registrations, 2022 was another record year for Europe. In the face of ambitious climate protection goals, designs for energy sovereignty and the cost advantages of photovoltaics (PV), storage and electromobility, this is just the beginning of a new energy age.
Germany aims to become climate-neutral by 2045. By 2030, 80% of the electricity is to come from renewable sources, with the installed PV capacity to be increased to at least 215 gigawatts (GW). What’s more, the German government wants to see 15 million fully electric passenger cars on its roads by 2030. This past year, 470,559 new e-cars were registered.
