Spotlight on Intersolar Europe 2025: Unveiling Industry Breakthroughs

The Solar Cell Gamechanger: Tandem Models The dawn of an efficiency revolution is upon us, heralding a new era of high-functioning solar cells, specifically Perovskite-Silicon Tandem cells. With dual semiconductor materials at their core, these cells manage to elevate efficiency levels to an impressive 45%. According to forecasts from the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), we can anticipate mass production to be in full swing by 2027.

Embracing Storage as a Critical Technology As the prevalence of photovoltaics in energy production continues to rise, the need for efficient storage mechanisms is imperative. This will help to mitigate the risk of network bottleneck and maintain a stable grid frequency. Large-scale storage systems aid in aligning energy supply and demand—in effect, performing integral roles in network stability. AI-driven software further optimizes the charging and discharging of these battery storages—boosting profits and further securing grid stability.

Hybrid Power Stations: Maximizing Renewable Energy Yields Hybrid power stations amalgamate various renewable energy sources such as solar, wind or hydropower with battery storages. By implementing this multi-pronged approach, they get maximum usage from a single grid connection while concurrently curtailing costs. The concurrent running of a battery storage system ensures the production and consumption of power are network-friendly and load curve optimized: energy is stored at peak availability and low cost, then fed into the grid as prices climb.

Bi-Directional Charging: The Double Duty of Electric Vehicles Electric vehicles aren’t just energy consumers—they can also function as energy storage and providers. According to E.on, a single EV is capable of supplying eleven households with energy during evening and overnight hours. Some leading providers have started capitalizing on Vehicle-to-Grid solutions, offering free charging services in exchange for network services.

Parking Bay PV: Making the Most of Spacious Areas Parking areas supplant with PV modules serve the dual purpose of weather protection and efficient utilization of already-paved spaces. Moreover, the energy generated can be tapped into onsite for charging, provided Wallboxes are set up.

Promoting Sustainability through Recycling Approximately two decades since the solar boom in 2007, the sector is gearing up for a surge in aging solar modules. Towards this, PV-recycling companies are pioneering circular economies by introducing massive recycling operations capable of reprocessing as much as 99% of the original materials.

Must-Attend Event for the Industry: Intersolar Europe 2025

To keep abreast of innovations and industry trends, no event looms larger in your solar calendar than the Intersolar Europe 2025. It falls under the umbrella of Europe's largest energy industry platform—The Smarter E Europe, featuring over 3000 exhibitors who cover technological advancements spanning PV, storage, electric mobility, and energy management spread over 19 exhibition halls and 206000 square meters. The expo forums delve into hot trending topics such as large storage, PV recycling, and hybrid power stations, with start-ups showcasing their revolutionary offerings in a dedicated display area.

Alongside, from May 6th to 7th, The smarter E Europe will be hosting four different conferences at the ICM Munich, with one admission ticket granting you access to all.

Celebrating Innovation with The smarter E AWARD Exceptional products and concepts will be honored with The smarter E AWARD on May 6th. Award categories span Photovoltaics, Energy Storage, E-Mobility, Smart Integrated Energy, and Outstanding Projects, with the event taking place at the ICM Hall 1 in the Munich Trade Fair.
