Intersolar Award 2016: innovation as an indicator for the industry

Innovations form the basis for progress and are an important cornerstone of every industry. In order to shine a spotlight on the innovative power of companies in the solar industry and to publicly recognize their achievements, the #intersolar AWARD 2016 is honoring pioneering solutions in the solar industry for the ninth year in a row. The award will be presented at #intersolar Europe, the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry and its partners, which takes place from June 22–24, 2016 in Munich. Companies that exhibit at one of the global #intersolar or electrical #energy storage (ees) events can now register in advance and submit their projects for the AWARD beginning February 1, 2016.


New technologies and products in the solar industry are not only paving the way for the #energy transition in Germany – photovoltaics is booming worldwide. In Asia and the USA in particular, newly installed output continues to grow. In 2014, Germany fed more solar power into the grid than ever before and drew approximately six percent of its power from solar sources. Solar sources already account for eight percent of power in Italy, while in Greece they account for seven percent. More than 177 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic power is installed worldwide, and SolarPower Europe predicts that the total capacity will triple, reaching 550 GW within five years.

Intersolar AWARD highlights innovations in the solar industry

In order to cope with the strong growth and manage the increasing amount of renewable #energy in the grid, market-driven innovations are more important than ever. Each year the #intersolar AWARD recognizes pioneering ideas and new approaches in the categories of Photovoltaics and Outstanding Solar Projects. Supported by international industry associations, the exhibition’s organizers will honor outstanding products, applications and projects at #intersolar Europe 2016. Any company that exhibits at one of the global #intersolar or ees (electrical #energy storage) events in 2016 is eligible to participate. The winners will be announced in an official ceremony on June 22, 2016 at #intersolar Europe.
