SNEC 4th (2010) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition

SNEC 3rd (2009) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition [SNEC (2009) PV POWER EXPO], which was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China and jointly organized by 15 international associations and organizations, came to a successful end on May 8, 2009. Despite the global financial crisis, the data of 1,032 exhibitors, 60,000 exhibition space and nearly 60,000 visitors have made SNEC (2009) PV POWER EXPO break the record of PV exhibitions ever held in Asia. The industrial experts, scholars and entrepreneurs from over 40 countries and regions, such as Germany, UK, France, USA, Canada, Japan, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Singapore, Taiwan, etc., gathered here to discuss extensively on the trend of the solar and PV market, industry development strategies, policy directions and advanced technologies.

On May 16, 2009, Chinese government launched an action plan of promoting the new energy high-tech industrialization, which, in particular, brings forward new development principles for the solar PV industry. It proposes to focus on the development of thin-film solar cells, support the development of highly efficient crystalline silicon solar cells and make breakthroughs in core equipments of the thin-film solar cells, thus upgrading their technological and industrialization levels, optimizing the industrial layout and promoting the development of industrial clusters. The launch of this action plan has fully proved the irreversible development momentum of the new energy industry represented by the solar energy.

Therefore, Upon the previous success of three SNEC events, Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA) decides to hold SNEC 4th (2010) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition [SNEC (2010) PV POWER EXPO] from May 5 to 7, 2010 at Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), China. Moreover, during SNEC (2010) PV POWER EXPO, Shanghai will be hosting World Expo 2010 which has already attracted worldwide attention. It is believed that every participant of SNEC (2010) PV POWER EXPO will receive a double surprise and find it a worthwhile visit as well.

Looking forward to meeting you at SNEC (2010) PV POWER EXPO!
