In short
Intersolar Europe visitors compare modules, inverters and storage on specifications, so stands display products at full size with specification graphics, show installed systems or cutaways, and give installers and distributors tables to talk pricing and supply. Start a custom stand about 6–9 months ahead and confirm dates, height limits and rules in the exhibitor manual.
Key points
- Where and when: Munich, annual, in late spring or early summer.
- The audience is mostly installers.
- Products at full size with key specifications printed beside them.
- Cutaways or live system monitoring on screens.
- Plan a custom stand about 6–9 months before the show.
Intersolar Europe for exhibitors
Intersolar Europe is part of The smarter E Europe, alongside shows for energy storage, grid and e-mobility. Many exhibitors show modules, inverters and batteries; differentiation comes from specification, warranty and supply.

Who you are designing for
Installers, EPCs, distributors, project developers and utilities.
What matters most on a Intersolar Europe stand:
- Products at full size with key specifications printed beside them.
- Cutaways or live system monitoring on screens.
- Distributor and installer meeting tables.
- Sustainable stand materials that support the brand story.
Layouts for demonstrations, by stand type
Most Intersolar Europe exhibitors build around demonstrations. How that works depends on how many sides of your plot are open. If you are unsure which type you have, see exhibition stand types.
| Stand type | Open sides | What works |
|---|---|---|
| Row (inline) | 1 | One demo point at the front edge with a screen behind it and a counter to one side; visitors watch from the aisle and step in. |
| Corner | 2 | A demo facing each aisle, with the tallest brand element at the closed corner so it reads from both approaches. |
| Peninsula | 3 | Demo pods on the three open sides, a small meeting table against the back wall for follow-up conversations. |
| Island | 4 | A hero product or small stage at the centre, demo pods on each face, and a closed core for storage and a meeting room. |
Stand ideas for Intersolar Europe
- A roof section with modules and mounting installed.
- Live monitoring data from a real project on a screen.
- A specification wall comparing products side by side.
Planning, approvals and logistics
Heavy batteries and inverters need handling and floor load checks; live systems need electrical approval.
Allow about 6–9 months for a custom stand. The exhibitor manual sets height limits, open-side rules and service deadlines; see venue approval and technical drawings.
Mistakes we see at Intersolar Europe
- Walls of identical-looking modules with no clear difference.
- Sustainability claims on a stand built to be thrown away.

Frequently asked questions
01How do I show solar products well?
Show them installed or as cutaways, with specifications beside them, and live monitoring data on a screen.
02Should a solar stand be sustainable?
Visitors notice. Reusable modular structures and low-waste graphics support your message. See [sustainable stands](/guides/sustainable-exhibition-stands).
03How early should I start designing a Intersolar Europe stand?
For a custom stand, about 6–9 months ahead: long enough for design, organiser approval, production and shipping. Shell scheme stands can be planned in weeks.
04Can I reuse my Intersolar Europe stand at other shows?
Often, if it is modular. Design the core (walls, counters, demonstrations area) to work on several plot sizes, and swap graphics per show. See [modular vs custom stands](/guides/modular-vs-custom-exhibition-stands).
