To present current market data, organize networking events and to encourage cooperation between companies from the solar energy, electrical energy storage and smart grid technology, these are the objectives that the International Battery and Energy Storage Alliance have set themselves. Now IBESA will be introducing their ideas to the public - as well as encouraging new members to join - for the first time at several events during Intersolar Europe. Over 70 companies from the industry network International PV Equipment Association already profit from this strong alliance.
This year, Intersolar Europe in Munich will be focusing on the topics of electrical energy storage systems and battery technology. In numerous events, the world's largest solar technology trade fair will be presenting the wide variety of possible applications for solar storage systems and the development potentials and trends for this branch. The International Battery and Energy Storage Alliance will also be using this platform to present themselves to the European public.
IBESA will be greeting interested exhibitors and visitors and will be available to provide founded background information for industry professionals and the press at a shared booth with EuPD Research and the networking initiative Joint Forces for Solar in hall B5.681. You will have the opportunity to meet our analysts, talk with our project leaders and learn more about IBESA and the current trends within the storage industry. Please feel free to visit our booth in hall B5.681 or arrange an appointment for a personal conversation prior to Intersolar.
