Organised by Reed Exhibitions Japan, Japan’s largest exhibition organizer, the events will cover both upstream and downstream businesses alongside with Technical Conference. Including concurrent shows, PV EXPO and PV SYSTEM EXPO are expected to attract 400 exhibitors including 90 new comers and 70,000 trade visitors from 75 countries to source the latest PV technologies and products.
Photovoltaic power generation has become the top priority in Japan since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Since then, Japan’s PV power generation capacity was calculated to be 49GW by 2017 according to New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). The market will maintain its stable growth in 2019 with new opportunities for the market players. PV EXPO and PV SYSTEM EXPO 2019 also play significant role for the market new challenges and development with three highlights as follows.
Firstly, maintenance and management of PV power plants have become mandatory in Japan and the market size is predicted to be 1.2 billion USD by 2030. One of the major highlights of PV SYSTEM EXPO 2019 is also O&M and a wide range of related technologies and services will be comprehensively showcased at the show.
Secondly, there is also an industry-wide shift from utility sales to self-consumption of power generation for residential PV systems as the first batch of residential FIT recipients will see their purchase period under the FIT ending in 2019 and will move into self-consumption of the surplus power. With the new business model, the development of EV and power storage technology is essential, and hence, the cutting-edge technologies and services will be widely exhibited in PV EXPO/PV SYSTEM EXPO along the concurrent shows in 2019.
Lastly, most of the global major PV manufactures have already confirmed to exhibit again this year, such as Jinko Solar, Trina Solar, Canadian Solar, Hanwha Q CELLS, JA Solar, LONGi Solar, Yingli Green Energy, Panasonic and more. Most of the companies will showcase high quality modules as well as their new service and products for total solution.
With continuous development of PV power generation in Japan, PV EXPO and PV SYSTEM EXPO 2019 continue to be the best platform for sourcing the latest leading-edge technologies and products, catching the trends, and finding new business opportunities for PV professionals from across the world.
