2009-01-06

Approved by Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China under Ref. No. (2008) 0527, SNEC 3rd (2009) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition (SNEC (2009) PV Power Expo) is to be held from May 5 to May 8, 2009 at Shanghai International Convention Center (No. 2727, Riverside Avenue, Pudong District, Shanghai, China) and Shanghai New International Expo Center (No. 2345 Longyang Road, Pudong District, Shanghai, China). This event is hosted by Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA) and co-organized by European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), New Energy Industry Association for Asia and the Pacific (NEIAAP), Chinese Renewable Energy Society (CRES), Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA), American Council Of Renewable Energy(ACORE), Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA), German Solar Industry Association (BSW-Solar), Delegation of German Industry & Commerce Shanghai/econet china, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), Taiwan Photovoltaic Industry Association (TPVIA), International Photovoltaic Equipment Association (IPVEA), Shanghai Federation of Industrial Economics (SFIE)and Shanghai Science Technology Development & Exchange Center.

In 2007, China moved in one jump to be the world’s largest producer in solar cells and the global output this year is 4000.5 MWp. It is estimated that nearly 50 companies in China are constructing, expanding or planning Siemens improved production lines of polycrystalline silicon. The overall output is over 100,000 tons; the total investment is RMB 100 billion. China produced 1088 MWp solar cells in 2007, exceeding that of Japan (920MWp) and Europe (1062MWp).

The production of module encapsulation industry was 721 MWp in 2006 and 1717 MWp in 2007. Module output is 1.5 times that of cells, and 50% of the cells used for modules were imported.

The solar and PV power generation market in China has developed rapidly.The installed capacity was 20MWp in early 2007 and 200MWp at the end of that year.

Global photovoltaic power generation also continues developing in a rapid and healthy way. Although Solar-grade silicon material is still a constraint of current development, the relationship between supply and demand is moderated gradually. The prospect of photovoltaic power generation of the world is more and more promising. China has become the world's largest producer of solar cells and its photovoltaic industry chain has a gradually balanced harmony and healthy development, except that of silicon materials.

Shanghai New Energy Industry Association decides to hold SNEC 3rd (2009) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Expo ceremonially in Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from May 6th to 8th, 2009, upon the success of SNEC 2007 and SNEC 2008.

SNEC (2009) PV POWER EXPO welcomes every insider in this field! Come and take the chance of this international platform to make contacts with worldwide colleagues and jointly create a bright future of green energy through communication, cooperation and technology innovation!
