On August 25, 2026, the three-day 2026 South America Smart Energy Exhibition officially opened its doors at the Expo Center North in São Paulo, Brazil. As a highly influential and premier industry event for the new energy sector in South America, the expo brought together over 600 new energy companies from across the globe. Notably, a robust delegation of more than 200 Chinese enterprises stood out as a formidable presence on the show floor, comprehensively showcasing the robust capabilities and innovative vitality of China's new energy industry chain.
Setting new records in both scale and prestige, the expo convened over 600 companies to explore new opportunities in the global energy transition. The strong turnout of more than 200 Chinese exhibitors not only underscores the high international recognition of China's new energy sector but also highlights the sector's resolute commitment to expanding into overseas markets. These Chinese companies secured expansive booth spaces, utilizing physical models, interactive experiences, and multimedia presentations to provide global visitors with a comprehensive showcase of China's latest R&D breakthroughs and integrated solutions in new energy.
The exhibition content precisely targeted cutting-edge technologies in core sectors such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and EV charging. In the PV zone, numerous Chinese exhibitors unveiled the latest generation of high-efficiency PV modules and intelligent O&M systems. These products not only achieved new breakthroughs in photoelectric conversion efficiency but also demonstrated exceptional stability and durability in extreme environments. The energy storage zone drew significant attention with its large-capacity cells, commercial and industrial all-in-one energy storage systems, and residential energy storage solutions. These offerings effectively address the intermittency of renewable power generation, ensuring stable grid operation. Furthermore, the EV charging infrastructure zone showcased a wealth of innovations, including high-power fast-charging technologies and intelligent charging network management systems, providing robust infrastructure support for the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles.
From an industry perspective, South America, and Brazil in particular, possesses immense potential and an urgent need for energy transition. While Brazil is endowed with abundant hydro, wind, and solar resources, there remains substantial room for development in grid modernization, energy storage infrastructure, and the expansion of EV charging networks. As global climate action intensifies, the Brazilian government has rolled out a series of policy measures to incentivize clean energy development, presenting a rare market opportunity for Chinese new energy enterprises. The distinct advantages of Chinese companies in technological innovation, cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and full industry chain synergy align perfectly with the practical demands of the South American market, paving the way for broad prospects of cooperation.
The successful staging of the 2026 South America Smart Energy Exhibition has not only injected fresh momentum into the new energy industry across Central and South America but also made a significant contribution to the global green and low-carbon transition. Throughout the event, numerous domestic and international companies reached multiple partnership agreements and secured substantial purchase orders, achieving a dual success in technological exchange and commercial collaboration. Looking ahead, as the new energy market in Central and South America continues to heat up, Chinese new energy enterprises will remain committed to the principle of open cooperation, deepening strategic synergy with local partners. Together, they will drive the optimization and upgrading of the global energy mix, making even greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world.
