On June 8 2011, the opening of Intersolar Europe will mark a special day in the history of the world's largest exhibition for the solar industry: its 20^th anniversary.

Further growth is expected for the year of the anniversary with fourteen halls and 155,000 sqm of exhibition space available for exhibitors and visitors, which corresponds to more than 15% growth over the previous year. In addition to its size, the range of services offered at Intersolar Europe is striking. The areas of Photovoltaics, PV Production Technology and Solar Thermal Technology together cover all aspects of solar technology.

“We started Intersolar to create a meeting point for all the solar industry’s players, which would give them the opportunity to share their experiences of the international solar markets as well as product innovations and services. We wanted to actively promote the development of solar technology. Looking back at twenty years of Intersolar history, we are certainly justified in being proud of having achieved a great deal. Intersolar Europe is today firmly established as the world’s largest exhibition for the solar industry. It brings together players and markets in the international solar industry and has made a considerable contribution to solar technology covering an important part of energy supply today," says Markus Elsässer, CEO of Solar Promotion GmbH.
