Shanghai Solar Photovoltaic Exhibition SNEC

The Exhibition Value of SNEC Shanghai PV Expo

• The World’s Premier PV Event, Dubbed the “Spring Festival Gala of the PV Industry”: As the largest and most influential global gathering in the photovoltaic sector, SNEC brings together over 3,600 exhibitors from 95 countries and regions, with an exhibition space approaching 400,000 square meters. International exhibitors account for 30% of the total, and attendance is expected to exceed 500,000 visitors. The event serves not only as a premier showcase for leading companies across the entire PV value chain but also as an annual barometer of industry trends.
• Comprehensive Coverage of the Entire Industry Chain: Exhibits span photovoltaic manufacturing equipment, materials, solar cells, application products and modules, as well as PV engineering and systems, energy storage, mobile energy solutions, and smart energy technologies—covering every link in the value chain. From cutting-edge high-efficiency cell technologies such as TOPCon, HJT, and BC to next-generation innovations like perovskite tandem cells, and from modules to integrated solar–storage systems, the show facilitates one-stop, efficient connections between upstream and downstream players.
• A Global Hub for Resource Networking: The expo hosts international government and corporate delegations, including representatives from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the Government of Sarawak, Malaysia, and local power utilities. It attracts buyers from mature markets such as Germany, France, Spain, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, while also engaging emerging economies in the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. At the opening ceremony, the Government of Sarawak signed a memorandum of understanding with Shanghai Electric and China Three Gorges International for a 1,000 MW floating solar project, underscoring the event’s robust capacity for international collaboration.
• A Launchpad for Cutting-Edge Technologies: The expo serves as a platform for unveiling the year’s most significant innovations in the PV sector. LONGi Green Energy introduced 700W+ modules based on HIBC technology, with mass‑production module efficiencies approaching 26%; JinkoSolar launched its Tiger Neo 3.0 module, delivering up to 670W; and Trina Solar showcased an 841W perovskite tandem module. Many companies regard SNEC as their preferred venue for global debuts and China‑wide premieres.
• A Vanguard for Solar–Storage Integration and Cross‑Industry Innovation: This edition clearly highlights the growing trend of deep integration between photovoltaics and energy storage, artificial intelligence, big data, and other fields, with solar–storage convergence emerging as a key focus. Companies such as Huawei Digital Power unveiled grid‑forming solar–storage solutions, while others introduced AI‑driven energy‑dispatch platforms and smart energy control centers that integrate virtual power plant ecosystems. Major home‑appliance brands—including Midea, Haier, Gree, and Skyworth—participated cross‑industry, positioning new energy as a new growth engine for their businesses.
• More Than 20 High‑Level Forums Empowering Industry Leaders: Concurrently held were over 20 parallel forums, including the Global Green Energy Leaders’ Dialogue, the Global Photovoltaic Frontier Technology Conference, the Solar–Storage Integration Frontier Technology Conference, the Energy Internet Technology and Applications Summit, and the AI + Energy and Energy Digitalization Summit. Topics ranged from heterojunction, TOPCon, perovskite, and BC cell technologies to floating solar systems, distributed PV, building‑integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), intelligent power‑plant operations, energy‑storage battery and system technologies, and integrated solar–storage solutions. Leaders from organizations such as the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the China Electric Power Research Institute, GCL Group, Trina Solar, and Huawei Digital Power actively participated.
• A Platform for Industry Confidence and Trend Insights: Amid profound structural adjustments in the industry, SNEC stands as an invaluable window for monitoring evolving market dynamics. During the event, the Global Green Carbon Chain Alliance initiative was announced, the seventh “Asia Solar–Storage Award” was presented, and the “Global New Energy ESG Top 100” and the “Global New Energy Brand Top 10” rankings were unveiled. Through these activities, companies conveyed industry confidence, fostered consensus, and explored pathways to break through current challenges.
