18th SNEC (2025) International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Exhibition & Conference

The 18th SNEC (2025) International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Exhibition & Conference [SNEC PV POWER EXPO] will be held in Shanghai, China, on June 11-13, 2025. The initiative was launched by the Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA), Chinese Renewable Energy Society (CRES), Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA), Shanghai Federation of Economic Organizations (SFEO), Shanghai Science & Technology Exchange Center (SSTEC), and Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA). It is also jointly organized by 25 international associations.

The scale of the SNEC exhibition has grown significantly, expanding from 15,000 square meters in 2007 to over 380,000 square meters in 2024, when it attracted over 3,600 exhibiting companies from 95 countries, and the overseas exhibitor ratio was over 30%. SNEC has become one of the biggest international PV trade shows with great influence in China, Asia, and the world.

As a dedicated PV exhibition, SNEC features manufacturing equipment, materials, solar cells, application products and modules, projects, systems, energy storage, and mobile energy, covering all segments of the entire PV industry chain.

The SNEC conference features a range of programs that address various topics, including market trends in the PV industry, strategies for collaboration and development, national policy directions, advanced technologies, and PV-related finance and investment. It’s a valuable opportunity to stay current with industry developments, share your work with the community, and connect with experts, researchers, business leaders, and peers in the field.

We look forward to welcoming PV industry professionals from around the world to gather in Shanghai, China. From an industry perspective, let’s assess the current state of the PV power market in China, Asia, and globally, to help guide the innovative development of the PV industry. Hoping all of us will meet in Shanghai, on June 11-13, 2025!
