Alexander Burkle – Intersolar Europe 2023: Global PV output exceeds the terawatt mark

Alexander Burkle

Sunny prospects for Intersolar Europe 2023

 

The fair offers optimistic prospects for the solar energy industry.

The photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed worldwide reached a milestone of one terawatt in 2022. This significant development will be reflected at Intersolar Europe in Munich from June 14th to 16th, 2023. Over 1,250 exhibitors will present their latest products and innovations in eleven exhibition halls.

 

Growth of the European PV market

The European market saw remarkable 47 percent year-on-year growth in 2022, with 41.4 gigawatts (GW) of new installations. This positive growth will be noticeable at Intersolar Europe, which is considered the world’s leading trade fair for the solar industry.

 

Extensive supporting program and international participants

Intersolar Europe not only offers an exhibition of products and solutions, but also an extensive supporting program with conferences, forums and side events. This offers manufacturers, suppliers, installers and project planners the opportunity to explore current trends, technologies and business models and to network with industry-leading visionaries and decision-makers. More than 85,000 visitors from 160 countries are expected.

Intersolar Europe Conference and Global Market Outlook

 

Intersolar Europe Conference and Global Market Outlook

The Intersolar Europe Conference, taking place on June 13th and 14th, focuses on the latest developments and trends and offers a global networking platform for decision-makers. The industry association SolarPower Europe exclusively presents the “Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2023-2027”. Afterwards, experts will discuss the current situation, discuss strategies for accelerating the expansion of PV and examine the possibilities of relocating PV production in Europe.

 

Intersolar Forum and focus on practical examples

On all three days of the fair, the Intersolar Forum offers a wide range of topics and trends in the solar industry with keynote speeches and best practices. The first day is dedicated to innovations, especially start-ups and their business models or products, as well as intelligent PV solutions integrated in buildings. On the following day, the Franco-German Office for the Energy Transition (DFBEW) will present a comprehensive overview of agri-PV and explain how it can increase agricultural yields and accelerate the transition to a new energy world. On the last day of the fair, the focus is on the electrical trade, as it plays an important role in integrating the electricity, heating and transport sectors.

 

The future of PV production and its locations

The PV boom requires a significant expansion of production capacity. On the PV Manufacturing Stage, keynote speeches and expert knowledge about PV production will be presented on all days of the fair. The discussion will focus on the issue of relocating PV production to Europe, examining aspects such as existing expertise, technical capabilities and profitability. In addition, promising technologies and innovations in the production and manufacture of future solar cells will be presented and discussed.

Intersolar Europe and the parallel trade fairs ees Europe, EM-Power Europe and Power2Drive Europe will take place from June 14 to 16, 2023 at the exhibition center in Munich. These trade fairs are part of “The smarter E Europe”, the largest energy industry platform in Europe.
