Ⅰ. Introduction: 

SNEC (2016) International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition [SNEC PV POWER EXPO] will be held in Shanghai, China, on May 24-26, 2016. It was initiated by 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 15,000sqm in 2007 to over 160,000sqm in 2015 when it attracted over 1,500 exhibiting companies from 90 countries and regions all over the world and the overseas exhibitor ratio is over 40%. SNEC has become the biggest international PV tradeshow with incomparable influence in China, in Asia and even in the world.

As the most professional PV exhibition, SNEC showcases PV manufacturing facilities, materials, PV cells, PV application products & modules, and PV project and system, covering every section of the whole PV industry chain.

SNEC 2015 Scientific Conference boasts an extraordinary International Scientific Committee. The Conference is chaired by Prof Armin ABERLE, CEO of the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS). Prof Joachim LUTHER from SERIS and Prof Martin GREEN from the University of New South Wales will act as the honorary chairmen. Top PV scientists will be invited to present on the cutting-edge technologies of solar energy at the conference.

We are looking forward to the worldwide PV industry friends gathering at Shanghai, China. From the industry's viewpoint, let us take pulse of the PV power market of China, Asia, and the world, so as to guide the innovative development of the PV industry! Hope all of us meet at Shanghai, on May 24 to 26, 2016!
