The 26th EU PVSEC offers a unique platform to present innovative results and ideas to PV specialists and decision makers from all continents. For many years now, the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition has combined a renowned international scientific conference with a leading PV industry exhibition. Every year, during 5 days of conference and 4 days of fair, new products and technical innovations from all areas of photovoltaics and from all over the world are on show.

The 26th edition reports a strong booking of exhibition space and the exhibition area has been further expanded in 2011. It spreads now over 9 exhibition halls. The 2011 exhibition space bookings by the global photovoltaic industry are ahead of the bookings in 2009 and 2010.
