The fair provided visitors with lectures on trends in the photovoltaic solar market and the exhibition of equipment and technological innovations from companies in the sector.
“We found the fair to be super organized, many integrators, I believe more than a thousand visitors per day, main brands present and we felt the members of Salvador (BA) were very open and eager for new things”, highlighted Fernando Castro, country manager at JA Solar Brasil.

“We presented new features in BIPV such as the Solar Tile, flexible Thin Film modules, solar lighting, and we also presented the recent partnership as a Huawei Gold distributor”, he added.
“The event went beyond expectations, we were apprehensive about participating in the fair, but we can see that it was very productive, that the market is very heated, people are interested in Fronius and want to know a little more”, said Thais Bitencourt, manager marketing department at Fronius do Brasil.
