In order to strengthen the international cooperation, lead the development of this industry, integrate the industrial resources and build an international business platform for the solar and PV industry, “SNEC the 2nd (2008) International Solar and PV Conference & CESEE (2008) Sino-European International Solar Industry and PV Projects (Shanghai) Exhibition” will be held on May 9-10 (for conference) and May 10-12(for exhibition), 2008 in Shanghai, China, on the basis of SNEC (2007) International Solar and PV Conference & CGSEE (2007) International Solar Energy and PV Industry (Shanghai) Exhibition, which was organized by Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA) and GTZ (German agency for technical cooperation).
For human beings, solar energy will be the most ideal, safest and superlatively suitable alternative energy in the future. The advent of new materials and technologies will raise the application efficiency of solar energy, extend its application field and lower its application cost. The human life style will definitely change and the human traditional fiery age will definitely end by using solar energy extensively.

Entering the 21st century, the Chinese government also starts to issue policies to encourage the development and utilization of solar energy. “Renewable Energy Law” has come into effect since Jan 1, 2006. The government announced the objective production of the clean energy will be rated at 10% in 2020, much higher than the present rate of 1%. Local authorities all respond to this announcement actively. For example, Shanghai and Jiangsu Province respectively propose 100 million solar roofs and 50 thousand solar roofs electricity generation projects plan. In the next 15 years, the Chinese renewable energy market will develop to be an equivalent of 100 billion US dollars.
PV industry is one of the fastest-growing energy industries in the world. Chinese solar market increases progressively by the yearly rate of 20%-30%, double that of Europe, and quadruple that of North America. It has turned out to be the biggest solar application market in the world. Chinese PV industry has sprung up a group of PV companies with independent innovation ability and large industrialization scale, take Suntech, Solarfun, Yingli Solar, JA Solar, CEEG, SEC, Topsolar, as the representatives. China is becoming the global leader of the industry.

With full warm-heartedness, SNEC encourages more and more professionals in the PV field to join hands to create a bright future of green energy through extensive communication and cooperation as well as technical innovation. We believe that SNEC will help you know more counterparts by the chance and bring you new friends and new business opportunities
