I’ve received the floor plan for Solar & Storage 2023 in Birmingham, and it looks quite crowded. It seems that most of the booths are relatively small this time.
It appears that there’s only one booth exceeding 100 square meters, and those above 50 square meters are considered large booths. Booth size can indeed be a factor used to gauge a company’s strength, and it’s notable that more than 90% of the exhibitors are Chinese companies.
Determining which companies are most worth visiting at the exhibition would depend on their existing presence in the UK market, the strength of their distribution channels, and their potential for future growth. It’s essential to research each company’s background and reputation to make an informed decision on which ones to prioritize.
