Guangzhou, China – August 10, 2025 – The Solar PV & Energy Storage World Expo 2025 concluded today, cementing its status as Asia’s biggest gathering for renewable energy stakeholders. Hosted at the Canton Fair Complex from August 8-10, the expo featured 2,000+ exhibitors across 150,000 sq.m, attracting 200,000+ visitors—including 30,000 international buyers from Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East .
Cutting-edge technologies stole the spotlight, with Chinese manufacturers showcasing perovskite solar cells achieving 32% efficiency and BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics) solutions for urban landscapes. Co-located with the World Battery & Energy Storage Expo, the event highlighted synergies between solar and hydrogen, with demonstrations of green H2 production linked to PV arrays .
Market dynamics took center stage as data revealed China’s dominance: its solar cell output hit a record high in March 2025, fueling exports like Pakistan’s 19GW imports in 2024. However, industry leaders warned of oversupply risks, with low module prices pressuring smaller firms. "Innovation is our lifeline," said a representative from LONGi Solar, showcasing their new ABC (Aluminum-Back Surface Field) modules .
International matchmaking sessions facilitated $2.3 billion in deals, with African and Latin American buyers prioritizing off-grid solar systems. "This expo bridges East and West," said a UAE-based distributor. "China’s tech scale meets our urgent energy access needs."
