A domestic affair

The annual SNEC trade show in Shanghai has long been an important date on the calendar for the global PV industry. But due to pandemic-related travel restrictions, the 2020 event was a decidedly Chinese affair, and international players were a rare sight in the exhibition halls. Vincent Shaw, pv magazine’s China correspondent, reports from what will likely be the only major PV trade show to take place this year.
