Since the first time Intersolar opened its doors in 1991, the trade fair has enjoyed growing prominence across the world. As the international platform for solar technology, it reflects the dynamic development along the entire value added chain in the areas of photovoltaics and solar thermal technology - and therefore encompasses far more than any other event.

Intersolar brings people and markets together under the guiding principle, ''Connecting Solar Business''. And as trade visitors from over 145 countries have confirmed: no other event brings together so many decision makers from industry, trade and commerce with solar industry manufacturers, suppliers, institutes and associations. The world's leading solar trade fair therefore facilitates the targeted, personal exchange of valuable information relating to products, markets and services.

Intersolar Europe is expected, once again, to post record figures. Compared with 2009, the number of exhibitors will rise from 1,414 to more than 1,700 and the exhibition area from 104,000 sqm to 130,000 sqm. The number of visitors is expected to rise to above 60,000.
