World's Leading Solar Tradeshow Exceeds Expectations And Readies For North American Debut

Munich, Germany (SPX) Jun 23, 2008
The world's largest tradeshow for solar technology, Intersolar Europe counted more than 50,000 trade visitors at Messe Munich, an increase of more than 62 percent. The visitors from a total of 140 nations came to see the more than 1,050 exhibitors show off their innovations to the worldwide solar industry.

"Never before has Intersolar had more exhibitors, more visitors and more different nations represented. At the new Munich venue, Intersolar has reached a new dimension. Both exhibitors and attendees are thrilled that we are expanding this legacy to our inaugural North American show," said Markus Elsaesser, CEO of Solar Promotion GmbH, one of the two organizers of Intersolar.

The market for photovoltaic and solar thermal products, equipment, materials and services, is exploding worldwide with recent estimates projecting the PV market to grow from $13 billion today to over $40 billion in 2012.

It is because of these developments that SEMI and Intersolar have collaborated and are now able to bring together the latest innovations in solar energy technologies from the entire value chain under one roof, resulting in increased efficiency and market impact.

In July they have partnered to bring Intersolar North America to the US through a co-location agreement with SEMICON West 2008. Having a dedicated location will allow visitors who are looking for manufacturing technologies to focus on their needs, while the presence of all the industry players will allow for cross-fertilization and benchmarking.

"Intersolar is an event of worldwide impact in an industry that is expected to more than triple in size by 2012," said Markus Elsaesser, Solar Promotions CEO. "By combining Intersolar and SEMI's memberships, vast technological and manufacturing expertise, as well as global reach to Intersolar, the event will only become more substantial, and pave the way for an exponentially greater penetration of these technologies in our economies and daily lives."

Next year the partnership between these two organizations will be even further expanded. Under the agreement, SEMI will manage the PV manufacturing equipment and materials segment in a dedicated area and co-organize a manufacturing and technology conference and other meetings related to manufacturing and materials. This agreement comes as a result of a rapid expansion of solar energy markets worldwide, and the need for a comprehensive exposition, which will address all aspects of the supply chain.

"We are delighted that the partnership with SEMI which has begun in the context of Intersolar North America is continuing to bear fruit. This partnership is also of great importance for Intersolar Europe," said Klaus W. Seilnacht, CEO of Freiburg Management und Marketing International GmbH (FMMI), the other organizer of Intersolar.
