The Intersolar shows bring together all solar energy technologies and the entire solar energy supply chain, including: equipment and materials suppliers, cell and module manufacturers, balance of systems (BOS) suppliers (including inverters, tracking systems, integrators), distributors and project developers.

“SEMI is extremely pleased to expand the excellent relationship we have with Solar Promotion International GmbH, and Freiburg Management and Marketing International GmbH as we co-organize these Intersolar shows,” said Dan Martin, Executive Vice President of SEMI. “SEMI has had a longterm presence in the China market, and we have recently collaborated with the major solar energy companies in the region to release a Policy Roadmap White Paper. This White Paper recommends significant increases to the long-term targets for domestic solar installation to encourage a rapid acceleration of the solar energy market in China. This show is an opportunity for both domestic and international companies to be there as the China markets achieve rapid growth and profitability.”
