SNEC is the world's largest photovoltaic and smart energy exhibition. Founded in 2007, it has grown from 15,000 square meters in its first year to over 200,000 square meters, making it the most influential solar industry gathering on the planet. The 2026 edition takes place in early June at SNIEC, hosting over 2,000 exhibitors from more than 95 countries, with international exhibitors accounting for approximately 30% of the total. China dominates the global solar supply chain, and SNEC is the indispensable annual event for anyone involved in solar manufacturing, project development, or energy investment worldwide.

The exhibition floor spans the entire SNIEC complex. Major Chinese manufacturers such as LONGi, Tongwei, JA Solar, Trina Solar, and JinkoSolar occupy enormous booths showcasing their latest modules, bifacial panels, and perovskite tandem cells. Energy storage and green hydrogen have become major themes alongside traditional PV. The concurrent conference features hundreds of technical sessions and CEO dialogues on market trends, policy, and technology roadmaps. For international solar developers, EPC contractors, and energy investors from Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, SNEC is the essential annual trip.
