September 3, 2021: As one of the first on-site events at the Expo Center Norte in Sao Paulo in 2021, the Intersolar South America Conference has set itself the goal of addressing the most important and future-oriented topics for the PV and renewable energy industry in Brazil in a safe and lively environment. PV, energy storage and energy management experts will come together over three days to discuss the issues that will shape the energy sector of Brazil.
Intersolar South America, Latin America’s largest exhibition and conference for the solar industry, brings together the complete value chain of PV and ST from PV Cells and Modules manufactures, BOS, components, tracking, applications, distributors. Global brands and local companies present their latest technologies and show possibilities to earn money, to save money, and to be up-to-date on solar developments.
Expectations for the event are extremely high, as Brazil has just surpassed the historic milestone of 10 gigawatts (GW) of operating power for solar PV operating capacity, including large plants and small and medium systems installed on roofs, facades and land. In addition to the exhibition, Intersolar South America together with ABSOLAR will hold the largest conference of the sector in South America.
“We are looking forward to being back in one of the most dynamic solar PV markets in the world. Together with our institutional partner ABSOLAR we will provide an outstanding conference that contains best in class speakers covering the latest trends and innovations throughout the industry sector”, Florian Wessendorf, Managing Director of Solar Promotional International adds.
