“SMALL WIND & SOLAR HYBRID SYSTEMS: Key to a Self-Sufficient Energy Future”
Munich, Germany, 1-2 June 2017
The World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) and Intersolar Europe are pleased to invite the small and medium wind stakeholders as well as the Solar PV and Energy Storage industry to participate in the World Small Wind Conference (WSWC2017), taking place in Munich/Germany on 1 and 2 June 2017, in parallel with the Intersolar Europe exhibition 2017 (31 May – 2 June 2017).
The main theme of the conference is Small Wind & Solar Hybrid Systems – Key to a self-sufficient energy future. The conference is aimed at jointly exploring the current status and future developments of the wind & solar hybrid technology as well as to present new innovative business models that could exploit the market of self-supply electricity.
HOW TO REGISTER
Registration fee: 300 EUR (limited places available)
The registration fee for the World Small Wind Conference includes also the three day Intersolar Exhibition admission.
