The concurrent "SNEC PV & ES Conference” presents various programs incorporating different topics. The "Global Advanced PV Technology Conference" encompasses a wide scope of PV technologies, with a focus on different high efficient solar cell technologies, such as HJT/HIT, TOPCon, Perovskites and BC, Distributed and Floating Solar Systems, BIPV, Solar PV O&M and Smart Grid Technologies, Energy Storage Battery and System Technologies, Applications and Safety, and Integrated Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Technologies and System Solutions. It aims to explore how to improve product quality, reduce costs, increase conversion efficiency, and promote healthy competition and development of the industry. In addition, there are high-level forums on application market research topics, such as market trends, cooperation development strategies, policy guidance, new materials, energy interconnection, AI + energy, investment and financing, mergers and acquisitions, going global and compliance, ESG, etc.
The lineup of speakers for this conference is also truly impressive! Mr. Erik Solheim, Former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Former Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, and Mr. Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, Premier of Sarawak, Malaysia will attend the conference and deliver keynote speeches. Many renowned academicians, scientists and technical experts from the global photovoltaic industry have also been invited for making speeches, including Mr. Xiaoxin Zhou, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Honorary President of the Chinese Academy of Electric Power Sciences, Prof. Tianwei Tan, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, Prof. Martin Green, Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics, UNSW Sydney (The University of New South Wales) , Prof. Eicke R. Weber, Former Director of Fraunhofer ISE, Prof. Armin Aberle, Chairman of the SNEC Advanced PV Technology Conference and CEO of Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS), Prof. Christoph Brabec, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) of Germany, Prof. Steve Albrecht, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) of Germany, Prof. Michio Kondo, Waseda University of Japan, Dr. Jihye Gwak, the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), and Prof. Rasit Turan, the Solar Energy Research and Application Center of Middle East Technical University,, etc.
Meanwhile, the "SNEC PV & ES Expo 2025" will bring together diverse government and enterprise delegations from around the world, such as the official delegation of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the joint delegation of the Sarawak government and power companies of Malaysia. It will also attract visitors from economies of Europe, such as Germany, France, Spain and Italy, mature markets like the United States, Japan and South Korea, and also from the oil-producing countries in Middle East, India, Southeast Asia (including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam), the emerging industrial nations of South America (such as Brazil, Argentina and Mexico), the United States-Central American free trade area (including Panama) and so on.
In order to help exhibitors expand into broader markets and achieve higher efficient connection, and to enable professional visitors to understand exhibitors and their products more conveniently, thereby improving the efficiency of their visit, the "SNEC PV & ES Expo" organizing committee launches several new platforms and functional systems, including the Exhibitor Customized System for visitor E-invitation, the Service Platform for Pre-show Appointment Between Exhibitors and Visitors, and the initiation of the Compilation Work of the "Promotion Catalogue of New Energy Products in Power Construction." After review, advanced products submitted by SNEC exhibitors will be included to the Promotion Catalogue in priority and recommended to power project contractors, giving new chances for exhibitors to enter the state-owned enterprises and the global market. Thus, a centralized procurement platform for power construction projects has been built. By empowering both sides, it will support and drive the future development of green energy.
During the exhibition period, there will also be a series of innovative and exciting activities, such as SNEC Passport Clock-in and Lucky Draw, "Top 10 Highlights" Selection, Media interview, Leaders’ Dialogue, and Booth Interview. Besides, the prizes of the "Asia Photovoltaic & Energy Storage Award (APVIA Awards)" will be issued, and the lists of the "Call for Global New Energy ESG Top 100" and the "Global New Energy Brands Top 10" will be released.
In addition to "SNEC PV & ES Expo", the SNEC organizing committee will also hold the "SNEC ES+ 11th (2025) International Energy Storage & Battery Technology and Equipment Conference and Exhibition" (hereinafter referred to as "SNEC ES+") and the "SNEC H2+ 9th (2025) International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology, Equipment and Application Conference & Exhibition" (hereinafter referred to as "SNEC H2+") from October 9 to 12, 2025, at the Shanghai Pudong Kerry Hotel (No. 1388 Huamu Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai) and the Shanghai New International Expo Center (No. 2345 Longyang Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai). It is an effort to carefully build and vigorously push forward the two industrial ecological chains and value chains of "solar, energy storage, charging, calculating, inspection, and cloud" and "solar PV, energy storage, charging, hydrogen, ammonia, and alcohol", which covers the whole track of technology research and integrates the entire industry chain. The events will promote high-quality development of the energy storage and hydrogen energy industries, and help China achieve its "Dual Carbon" strategic goals sooner.
SNEC sincerely invites professionals from the global energy sector to gather in Shanghai. From an industry perspective and focusing on industry challenges, we will delve into the new trends in the development of photovoltaic, energy storage, and hydrogen energy markets, and together embark on a future path of innovation and win-win cooperation!
