General information

PHOTON International is the world's leading solar power magazine. If photovoltaics (PV) or concentrating

Now in its second decade, with a print run of 26,000 copies per month in 2013, PHOTON International

translated into Chinese to better reach PV companies in China and Taiwan. The magazines are distributed at
major solar trade fairs and conferences worldwide – a total of over 700 events.

Target audience:

PHOTON International is the flagship publication of the PHOTON Group, which has published monthly PV magazines in Germany, Italy, Spain and the US for many years, and in France since 2011. While articles in the national editions are written primarily for end-consumers and installers, PHOTON International is the leading source of information for decision makers in the global solar industry: from managers at multinational solar companies to investors and lenders; and from engineers and scientists involved in R&D and the production of silicon, wafers, cells and modules to utilities, project developers and operators of large-scale solar power plants.

Each issue contains the most important news about:

• Markets: Highlighting the most significant developments and news in global solar markets, including government incentives and utility-scale installations;

• Business: Surveying strategic moves and actions by key international solar players and analyzing companies' quarterly results; looking regularly into new production lines; and reporting on company strategies, expansions, mergers and acquisitions;

 • Finance & economics: Tracking module and inverter prices, as well as solar stock performances, with our own indexes and covering venture capital investment in the sector and news related to international financial markets;

• Science & technology: Featuring the latest products and new technologies; providing the sector's most extensive global market surveys on production equipment for wafer, cell and module manufacturing; focusing on R&D related to manufacturing equipment, materials and production processes; reporting on the latest product tests (for example, inverters, modules and connectors) by PHOTON Laboratory, which is the only independent test lab owned and operated by a publishing company in the solar sector;

• Service: Including the most comprehensive and regularly updated listing of international PV conferences and trade fairs (updated daily on our website) and offering customers the chance to advertise job opportunities and to be listed in our comprehensive industry registry, which is published in the print and electronic editions of the magazine, as well as on our website.
