Solar Expo Morocco eyes 8000 visitors

Morocco is expecting to host about 8,000 visitors during the 9th edition of the “Solar Expo Morocco” that will be held February 25 to 27, 2020 in Casablanca.

Launched in 2012, the “Solaire Expo Maroc” is an annual exhibition of solar technologies and one of the most important of its kind in Morocco. Over the years, the Expo has become the leading exhibition in the field of solar energy and energy efficiency in Africa.

According to the organizers, the 2019 edition of “Solar Expo Morocco” brought together some 7843 visitors and 104 exhibitors.

“Solaire Expo Maroc” is a B-to-B platform that presents solutions for professional players in solar energy and energy efficiency, allowing participants to showcase their technical innovations and latest trends and to participate in conferences and workshops.

The three-day show aims to strengthen the dynamics of the solar energy and energy efficiency sector and also to support ambitious national renewable energy programs.

Morocco is a major regional hub in the field of solar energy. With 35 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources, the North African country aims to increase the share of renewable energies in its energy mix to 42 percent in 2020 and 52 percent of its electricity from clean energy by 2030.

The 500MW Noor Solar Complex in the North African nation is the world’s biggest concentrated solar power plant.
