MUNICH, October 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Intersolar Europe Munich, June 4–6, 2014

Energy storage systems make a vital contribution to the energy transition.For instance, they allow higher on-site consumption of solar power, help take the load off power grids, play a central role in e-mobility and thus provide a safe and efficient power supply in various situations.Intersolar Europe is therefore expanding its range of topics to include additional promising fields within energy storage, in cooperation with Messe München International.

From 2014, ees, the Electrical Energy Storage exhibition, will take place under the same roof as Intersolar Europe, presenting a full spectrum of products in the areas of solar power production and electrical energy storage, in addition to the previous ranges. ees is the ideal platform for the rapidly growing energy storage systems market, covering the entire supply chain of innovative battery and energy storage system technologies, from components to production to concrete examples of application. A conference lasting several days is planned to coincide with the exhibition.

This year the topic is covered by the leading international exhibition productronica - in a special exhibit on battery storage system technology from November 12-15, 2013, manufacturers present the latest technologies and products in the area of electrical energy storage. The next ees takes place as part of Intersolar Europe at Messe München from June 4-6, 2014. It promises a highly attractive range of exhibits in high technology, together with the two Messe München GmbH exhibitions that are running parallel, Automatica - International Exhibition for Automation and Mechatronics and Maintain - International Exhibition for Industrial Maintenance.
