Munich, June 10, 2015 – Intersolar Europe is the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry and its partners, providing an platform for the industry to showcase its innovative strength each year. The exhibition kicked off today with the Intersolar AWARD, which was presented for groundbreaking solutions in the categories of Photovoltaics (PV) and Solar Projects in Europe. This year for the eighth time, the award was presented during an official ceremony at the Innovation Exchange at Intersolar Europe.
Exhibiting companies from all Intersolar exhibitions around the world were invited to impress the panel with their outstanding innovations. Applicants could only put forward products, projects, services and solutions which were undergoing testing or which were already in use (and were making their first appearance at Intersolar) or which showed significant developments to existing technologies at the time of submission. All solar projects had to have been completed within the last two years. The assessment criteria reflected the challenges posed by the market. Experts examined the degree of technological innovation, the benefit for industry, the environment and society, the economic viability of the solution and proof of its innovative quality.
