The announcement marks the first year since the establishment of the first international network of specialist events and technical-scientific conferences by Solarexpo (Europe), Solar Power International (USA) and Snec Pv Power Expo (China) and confirms its intention to become an effective platform for debate and information-sharing on the markets of the respective countries in order to favour growth in solar energy on a global scale.

In a joint declaration, the organisers of Solar Power International, through the words of Rhone Resch, President, President and CEO of SEIA - Solar Energy Industries Association and Julia Hamm, President and CEO of SEPA - Solar Electric Power Association, stated: “We are delighted to announce the enlargement of the Global Solar Alliance and the inclusion of the main events of reference for renewable energies in India and Korea, two countries witnessing significant development which can offer investment opportunities for the global solar industry. In the light of the reappraisal of the historic role of important markets for solar energy in Europe, the United States and new emerging markets represent the key to continuous growth in the sector.”
