One thing is already clear: Many manufacturers in the solar industry are interested in presenting their products at the trade fair in Munich.

Already eight months before the start of the next Intersolar on 14 June 2023, the majority of the space is already booked. The organiser, Solar Promotion, attributes this to the boom in demand.

According to the organiser of Smarter E Europe, Solar Promotion, 95 per cent of the stand space reserved for the Intersolar sub-exhibition is already booked up - eight months before its start. Only a few companies can still find a place at the solar industry's leading trade fair.

Time for new solutions

Solar Promotion attributes this to the rapid increase in demand for solar systems, which in turn is being driven down by rising energy prices and due to the uncertainties caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

But rising demand is also driving innovation in the field of photovoltaics, while old technologies are slowly dying out. "We are pleased that, despite the shortage scenario, old recipes such as nuclear power plant prolongation serve at best as a tiresome transitional solution and that the preservation of the fossil power plant fleet is seen as a relic of a carbon-sinful past that can be quickly eliminated," explains Horst Duffner, head of Smarter E Europe. He is sure that there will be plenty of new solutions and products on show at the next Intersolar. (su/mfo)
