NEC 12th (2018) International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition [SNEC PV POWER EXPO] will be held in Shanghai, China, on May 28th - 30th, 2018. It was initiated by the Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA), Chinese Renewable Energy Society (CRES), Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA), Shanghai Federation of Economic Organizations (SFEO), Shanghai Science & Technology Development and Exchange Center (SSTDEC), Shanghai New Energy Industry Association (SNEIA) and jointly organized by 19 international associations and organizations including Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). 

The exhibition scale of SNEC has evolved from 15,000 sqm in 2007 to over 180,000 sqm in 2017 when it attracted over 1800 exhibiting companies from 95 countries and regions all over the world and the overseas exhibitor ratio is over 30%. SNEC has become the biggest international PV tradeshow with incomparable influence in China, Asia, and even in the world. 

We are looking forward to the worldwide PV industry friends gathering in Shanghai, China. From the industry's viewpoint, let us take the pulse of the PV power market of China, Asia, and the world, to guide the innovative development of the PV industry! Hope all of us meet in Shanghai, on May 28th - 30th, 2018.
