Bonn. April 28, 2025. Intersolar Europe 2025 is right around the corner. From May 7-9, 2025 the exhibition will bring the European solar PV industry to Munich, Germany as part of The smarter E Europe 2025 once again, with 1,450 exhibitors and 1,800 suppliers expected to attend. As part of the Intersolar Forum, Joint Forces for Solar (JF4S) is returning for the 15th instalment of its "PV Briefing & Networking Forum Europe" on May 8, 2025.

The German solar market continues to grow, with +17 GWdc installed in 2024 and the cumulative capacity coming in at +100 GWdc by the end of the year, according to EUPD Research. Of the +17 GWdc installed in 2024, the slight majority was added in the C&I segment (~46%) followed closely by residential (~42%). Installations in the German utility segment came in at ~12% of all the new installations. In terms of cumulative PV installations, three federal states are leading the charge: Over 50% of the total installed capacity is installed in Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia. On a global scale, Germany joined the triple digit market clubs regarding installation volume and was ranked 3rd with regard to cumulative PV capacity, following after China and the United States. Furthermore, Germany installed +3 GW of new solar PV in only the first three months of 2025, showing the steady pace of PV development during Q1-2025. The drivers behind this growth of the German PV market, as well as leaders and innovators from across Europe, will be represented on the show floor and exhibition program at Intersolar Europe 2025.

Important players will have valuable networking and learning opportunities within the 105,500 sqm of exhibition space at Intersolar Europe and connect with the 110,000+ visitors that are expected at The smarter E Europe, Europe's largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry. The Intersolar Forum will once again provide ample space for knowledge-exchange. Situated in Hall A3 at Booth A3.150, the forum will offer visitors a wide range of keynote presentations and best-practice examples on the latest topics and trends lead by industry experts.
