The world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry, Intersolar Europe, drew to a close on June 10, boasting record exhibitor and visitor numbers. Around 77,000 visitors and 2,280 exhibitors attended the exhibition from June 8-10 and were very pleased with the thematic and technological array presented by Intersolar Europe. This year, the exhibition centered heavily on the energy revolution and showcased technological solutions for a solar-powered future. Over 2,000 economic and scientific experts convened at the Intersolar Europe Conference at Munich’s International Congress Centre (ICM) to discuss the latest developments in international photovoltaic and solar thermal markets as well as cutting-edge technology trends. The conference took place two days prior to and during the exhibition.
Over the last three days, around 77,000 visitors from 156 countries flocked to Intersolar Europe at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre. In total, 2,280 exhibitors presented their technologies and services in the fields of “Photovoltaics”, “PV Production Technology” and “Solar Thermal Technology” across an exhibition space spanning 168,000 square meters that included 15 exhibition halls and an outdoor exhibition area. This year, the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry once again celebrated significant growth in all exhibition areas. The international character of the exhibitors also reflected the industry’s global importance. Companies from across 47 countries came to Intersolar Europe in Munich. Visitors and exhibitors particularly enjoyed the “PV ENERGY WORLD” Special Exhibition which clearly demonstrated the energy mix of the future in Germany. The four thematic areas of “Smart Grid”, “Smart Building and E-Mobility”, “Smart Cities” and “Smart PV Technology and Economy” illustrated how the share of solar energy in total energy consumption could be increased in the future.
