Solar - South-East European Solar Exhibition
The solar industry enters a new phase of its development and is taking the lead in the global energy mix. According to Mr. Ingmar Wilhelm, president of the European Photovoltaic Association (EPIA) 'The important declining costs, the validity of the ecological footprint and new innovative features are creating today's good climate for investment in PV technology, which is on the way to becoming a fully competitive part of the electricity system in the European Union and an increasingly important part of the world's energy future'.
 

The excellent solar irradiation indicators on the Balkans and the interest of leading companies in the sector provoke us to organize the SEE Solar Exhibition. It will be held for the first time parallel to the 8-th edition of the annual SE European Exhibition on EE & RES - 64% of its area in 2011 was covered by companies operating in the solar industry.
SEE Solar Exhibition will present most up-to-date photovoltaic and solar thermal systems and will bring together manufacturers, installers, investors, designers and consultants.
