“The exhibitors are really satisfied because, despite the present uncertain legislative framework for the renewable energies and especially for the solar sector, they see Solarexpo as a true B2B event, with highly qualified visitors and buyers” – said Sara Quotti Tubi, director of the international conference and exhibition.

The figures of the 2012 edition:

“On Sundays and public holidays the ‘new renewable energies’ (FV and wind energy) succeed in covering even 50% of the nation’s electricity need. A result which was unbelievable only a couple of years ago – commented Luca Zingale, scientific director of Solarexpo. - In an economy and in a society that in the 21st century will be more and more characterized by electricity technologies, also in the mobility and in heating and cooling, all connected by the new paradigm of the smart grids – solar confirms to be a powerful driver of evolution and sustainable economic  growth”.
