Intersolar Europe Munich – Europe's leading trade fair for the solar industry

Photovoltaics, energy storage, and grid integration at the heart of the energy transition

Intersolar Europe is the leading trade fair for the solar industry in Europe—and a central meeting place for decision-makers, developers, manufacturers, and service providers along the entire solar technology value chain. As part of the innovation platform The smarter E Europe, Intersolar takes place annually at the exhibition center in Munich and is dedicated to a sustainable, decentralized, and digital energy future. With more than 1,000 exhibitors from over 50 countries and tens of thousands of trade visitors, Intersolar is one of the most important international events for the renewable energy industry. It combines technological progress with market transparency and demonstrates in a practical way how the transformation of the energy system can be driven forward – from energy generation, storage, and management to intelligent distribution.

Focus on photovoltaics: technologies, markets, and trends

The trade fair focuses on photovoltaics in all its forms: from highly efficient solar modules, inverters, mounting systems, and energy management to PV tracking systems, agri-PV solutions, and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). New cell technologies, sustainable materials, and modular system concepts dominate the exhibition space. Intersolar not only showcases classic roof and ground-mounted solutions, but also integrated complete systems for commercial, industrial, and energy suppliers—from self-consumption systems to decentralized virtual power plants. If you are interested in other trade fairs in the region, you will find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Munich Trade Fair.

The smarter E Europe – Four trade fairs, one understanding of systems

As the centerpiece of The smarter E Europe, Intersolar, together with ees Europe (battery storage), Power2Drive Europe (e-mobility), and EM-Power Europe (grid infrastructure and energy management), forms a comprehensive trade fair ecosystem for the entire energy world. The close links between the topics reflect the reality of a networked energy landscape—and enable trade visitors to look beyond the boundaries of individual technologies.

Digital energy platforms, software, and AI

A growing segment is dedicated to digital applications: control systems, IoT solutions, AI-supported forecasting models, virtual power plants, and platforms for the direct marketing of renewable energy are presented in detail. Topics such as cybersecurity, blockchain for proof of origin, and data management are also an integral part of the exhibition.

Special exhibitions & innovation platforms

Innovations are the focus at Intersolar—for example, in the Start-up Areas, the Innovation Stage, and through The smarter E AWARDS, which annually recognize outstanding new products, business models, and projects. The Agri-PV sector is also setting new trends, highlighting the potential of combined land use for agriculture and energy production.

International markets & global perspectives

The trade fair attracts visitors from all over the world—from California to South Korea, from Scandinavia to South Africa. In addition to product innovations, market analyses, international conditions, and geopolitical challenges are therefore also the focus of numerous specialist presentations and panels.

High-level specialist conferences and continuing education

The accompanying conferences offer in-depth insights into regulatory developments, financing, technology, and market trends. Project developers, energy suppliers, lawyers, investors, and political actors meet here to discuss solutions for grid integration, security of supply, and financing sustainable infrastructure.

Sustainability in practice & organization

Intersolar is not only sustainable in terms of its theme—it also sets an example in terms of organization: from low-emission trade fair planning and climate-neutral transport options to the promotion of resource-saving exhibitor concepts. The entire trade fair operation is organized in accordance with high environmental standards.

Intersolar Europe – Driving the energy transition

Intersolar is more than just a trade fair: it is a source of inspiration, a networking platform, and a marketplace for innovations. It brings together players from the worlds of research, business, and politics—and impressively demonstrates that the energy transition is not only necessary, but has long been achievable. It provides companies, municipalities, and private households with concrete solutions, economic models, and technological excellence for an emission-free energy future.
