Shanghai, June 11-13, 2025 – STS was thrilled to participate in SNEC 2025, the world’s largest solar energy exhibition, held in Shanghai. Over three days at our bustling booth, our team engaged in insightful discussions with clients and partners, exploring real-world challenges in solar projects – covering supply‑chain disruptions, quality assurance, and the rising demand for real‑time market intelligence to enhance decision‑making.
Our participation extended beyond the booth floor. An interview with Energy Channel allowed us to highlight STS’s buy‑side expertise and tailored support for renewable energy buyers – demonstrating how our solutions can be a key asset in today’s shifting landscape.
Key Industry Takeaways from SNEC 2025
SNEC 2025 reflected a turning point in the solar sector.
Module Oversupply & Price Pressures – Global PV module oversupply remains severe, contributing to losses and factory slowdowns in China.
Surge in High‑Efficiency Technologies – Innovations showcased included 650 W+ TOPCon modules, 700 W+ HIBC (Hybrid Interdigitated Back‑Contact) designs, and perovskite tandem cells – all highlighting the shift from traditional PERC to next-generation high‑efficiency modules.
Emerging Role of Energy Storage – With falling module prices and surplus capacity, storage solutions emerged as a major growth driver.
STS Perspective
This year’s SNEC made it clear that the solar industry is navigating through a period of significant adjustment – from technology shifts to market imbalances and supply chain realignment. These changes bring both challenges and opportunities for buyers.
At STS, we’re focused on safeguarding buyers’ investments in renewables amid this evolving landscape. Through independent, buy-side technical expertise and real-time market intelligence, we support buyers in identifying risks and improving project outcomes across both solar and storage.
We appreciate the many meaningful conversations during the event and look forward to continuing the dialogue beyond the show floor.
