SNEC PV POWER EXPO 2016
The 10th SNEC PV POWER EXPO Successfully Held
The largest PV tradeshow in the world -- SNEC 10th (2016) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition was successfully rounded off on May 26th, 2016.
SNEC2016, with the exhibiting space reaching 150,000 square meters, attracted 1618 exhibitors and over 200,000 visits from 95 countries and regions. It is especially worth mentioning about an increase of the number of visitors from many developing countries such as India, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brazil, Chile, Ghana, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and etc. It is out of doubt that with the largest numbers of exhibitors and visits, richness of exhibits that covers all sections of the PV industry chain, as well as the largest coverage in PV industry, SNEC has developed to be one of the most promising and influential PV tradeshows worldwide. SNEC2016 has also become the most popular grand gathering with the largest spot trading amount and the most releases of new products and new technology among the past ten editions.
Meanwhile, SNEC PV Power Expo also becomes an important “positive energy” for a prompt development of PV industry in China and even in the world. SNEC sets up a platform for those entrepreneurs who have never been involved in energy field before to fully show their PV talents and to become new energy bigwigs enjoying their fames throughout the world. SNEC connects a bridge to make many Chinese PV entrepreneurs compete with overseas peers, and let PV or new energy made in China lightening everywhere in the world. SNEC faithfully records the puberty of Chinese PV industry when many PV entrepreneurs successfully overcome the market turbulence and difficult dilemma caused by the global financial crisis and the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy in Europe and USA. SNEC stands together with world’s PV dealers through thick and thin as well as advocating peace and opposing rat race. It also advocates, supports and renders the global PV industry into a magnificent united PV power and new energy battlefront!
On this occasion of the 10th Anniversary of SNEC, and to sincerely and deeply express gratitude to these international organizations, scientists, PV experts and PV enterprises who always support solar energy and PV industry development and always take part in and support SNEC, the Organizing Committee presented ten “Apollo” Awards via a series of celebrations: Outstanding Contributions to PV industry, Pioneer and Leader of PV Industry, Leader of PV Industrial Organization, Distinguished PV Scientist, Industrial Leader of PV Industry, Technological Leader of PV Industry, Technological Leading Company of PV Industry, SNEC 10 Years Sustainability Company, Terawatt Level PV Industry Media, Best Booth Design & Building, as well as Full Support Figures. Apollo is known as the god of the Sun. Every Apollo trophy is handmade by the colored glaze called “Sun Stone”. The fireball symbolizes the up power. The little golden man holding the fireball high indicates that our solar energy business is flourishing and prosperous. The earth trophy tells the development of green energy to protect our home, the Earth.
SNEC2016 Conference is an opportunity that you cannot miss to stay up to date on the technology and market, present your results to the community, and network with industrial experts, scholars and entrepreneurs and colleagues.

- SNEC (2016) International Solar Energy and Green Building Conference & Challenge Cup of Solar Building Design & Engineering -- promote the application of solar energy in buildings
SNEC (2016) International Solar Energy and Green Building Conference & 2016 Challenge Cup of Solar Building Design and Engineering aims at sorting out the interrelation among PV power generation, building energy saving and building energy creating as well as the current problems and solutions in the aspects such as corresponding concept, policy, technology, technique and etc. to set up a bridge for communications and integrations between solar energy industry and building industry and to further push the application of distributed solar power generation in public and residential buildings.
In order to make the audience with different interest points all absorbed in and to reach the most influential and effective results, the theory session of SNEC (2016) International Solar Energy and Green Building Conference started around the two themes -- “green building and city sustainable development ” & “distributed PV power generation and the challenges of solar energy building”. Besides, the practice and ideas exchange session, namely the keynote speeches on practical engineering design, were quite enlightening, benefiting many young BIPV architects. The special session of introductions and experts’ comments on some of the entries of the 2016 Challenge Cup of Solar Building Design and Engineering was not only the further extension of the conference, but also revealed the wonderful essence of the competition itself.
SBDE2016 all together received 33 BIPV design schemes. Although there were no great works which integrate solar energy power generation fully into building energy creating, we could still find many wonderful designs with both deep understanding about solar energy utility and a gleam of intelligence about modern green building. The secretariat of SBDE2016 blended all excellent works into a large group painting, names it “The buildings embracing the Sun” and displayed it to the public, which is extremely magnificent.
