From June 19-21, the international solar industry will once again turn up at Messe München for the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry, Intersolar Europe. Under the motto Connecting Solar Business, visitors can find out about recent trends and developments across the solar industry from manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, service providers and partners working in this sector.

In June, around 1,500 exhibitors will be showcasing their products and services in the fields of photovoltaic, PV production technology, energy storage systems and solar thermal technology. Exhibiting companies can benefit from 121,000 square metres of exhibition space in 12 halls and a large outdoor area.

Exhibitors will present the most innovative technologies, products and solutions at the Innovation Exchange, while the PV ENERGY WORLD presentation program will focus on the combination of photovoltaics and energy storage systems, from on-site consumption of solar power and grid integration to the introduction of new energy concepts. And this year, for the first time, the majority of exhibitors covering this topic will be found in hall B5.
Meanwhile, the Rural Electrification special exhibit will shed light on international trends in off-grid regions, while the Joint Forces for Solar Intelligence and Networking Forum provides the perfect opportunity for players from industry and trade to share experiences. The Intersolar AWARD honours the most innovative companies across the solar industry.

Elsewhere, the PV and E-Mobility special exhibit will showcase combinations of PV carports, charging stations and electric vehicles. The varied accompanying program is rounded off with various exhibition tours and workshops, offering visitors a practical insight into the latest trends in solar thermal technology, photovoltaics and energy storage. In addition, the diverse Intersolar Europe Conference program deals with exhibition topics, consolidating the information at an international level.
