SNEC 17th (2024) International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition [SNEC PV POWER EXPO] will be held in Shanghai, China, on June 13-15, 2024. It was initiated and co-organized by Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA), Chinese Renewable Energy Society (CRES), Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA), Shanghai Federation of Economic Organizations (SFEO), Shanghai Science & Technology Exchange Center (SSTEC), Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA) and 25 international associations and organizations.

The exhibition scale of SNEC has evolved from 15,000sqm in 2007 to over 270,000sqm in 2023 when it attracted over 3,100 exhibiting companies from 95 countries and regions all over the world and the overseas exhibitor ratio is over 30%. SNEC has become the biggest international PV tradeshow with incomparable influence in China, in Asia and even in the world.

As the most professional PV exhibition, SNEC showcases PV manufacturing facilities, materials, photovoltaic cells, PV application products & modules, PV project and system, energy storage and mobile energy, covering every section of the whole PV industry chain.

With different countries announcing their pledges on achieving carbon neutrality, renewable energy will be the main body of energy consumption increment, and the photovoltaic market will usher in a new round of rapid development, with innovative business models, such as integrated photovoltaic and storage solution, direct electrification with photovoltaic, and renewable hydrogen, becoming vital to sustainable economic.

The Conference will invite the National Energy Administration, Ministry of Science and Technology, and other relevant governmental departments to present on latest incentives for solar/photovoltaic industry. We have invited leading scientists and experts worldwide, such as Prof Martin GREEN from University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia, Prof David RENNE, Former President of International Solar Energy Society (ISES), Prof Armin ABERLE, CEO of Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS), etc. to share their great insights.

The conference covers key PV Industry’s issues including government incentives, development trends, technical upgrading, conversion efficiency, PV systems, smart grid connection, financing and risk, among others, via various programs incorporating different topics. Apart from the Global Solar Leaders Dialogue, Global Advanced PV Technology Conference, and Global Green Energy & PV Financial Summit, there will also be the Graphene Photoelectric Application Summit, and Energy Interconnection Technologies and Application Summit.

The SNEC Conference consist of various programs incorporating different topics, covering the market trends of PV industry, collaboration and development strategies, policy directions of different countries, advanced industry technologies, PV finance and investment, etc. It is an opportunity that you cannot miss to stay up to date on the technology and market, present your results to the community, and network with industrial experts, scholars and entrepreneurs and colleagues.

We are looking forward to the worldwide PV industry friends gathering at Shanghai, China. From the industry’s viewpoint, let us take pulse of the PV power market of China, Asia, and the world, so as to guide the innovative development of the PV industry!
