A total of 1,077 exhibitors (7% more than last year) from 165 countries compete for the attention of an expected 40,000 visitors at the Intersolar fair that is held in parallel to EES (Electric Energy Storage), Europe's largest show for batteries and energy storage systems. 

"In coming years we will get situations in which renewable energy production (in Germany) exceeds electricity demand," Markus Elsässer, chief executive of Solar Promotion that is organising Intersolar, said at the opening press conference.
