A total of 31 projects in photovoltaics, energy efficiency and digitalisation will be presented at the Innovation Gallery 2025, part of the International Electrification and Decarbonisation Week in Madrid. The Genera and Matelec trade fairs will take place from 18 to 20 November 2025 at the Ifema Madrid exhibition centre. Industry experts jointly selected the projects. The jury, composed of representatives from sector associations, assessed the entries based on criteria such as technological innovation, practical applicability and their contribution to the energy transition and decarbonisation.
Focus on innovation in photovoltaics
Niels H. Petersen
Among the highlights in photovoltaics and renewable energy are solutions such as the Bauwatch Solar System, which enables off-grid site monitoring with integrated photovoltaics and alternative power supply. Cener will present Asterix-Caesar, an energy storage and production system designed to stabilise the grid and support the integration of renewables. Emica Solar will showcase floating solar systems that generate electricity on bodies of water, helping to avoid competition for land with agriculture or settlements.
Sunny Tripower X 60 from SMA targets commercial solar
Other featured projects include modular PV carports with charging points (Chargevite Oasis), portable and stationary zero-emission generators (Genergy Power Products), and digital platforms for tokenising investments in PV and storage (Suricatoken). Metal Frame Renewables will introduce a new agrivoltaic model that combines crop cultivation with energy generation.
Digital solutions and energy management
In the digitalisation and energy management segment, the exhibition will feature modular protection systems for island-mode PV operation (Combi Pro Max by Toscano Electronic Line), software for planning and optimising PV installations (Elec Calc by Trace Software International), and arc-limiting systems for solar installations (Arcbox by Viridian Solar).
UNEF: PV and storage central to Spain’s industrial future
For energy monitoring and control, the event will present multi-channel energy meters (UMG 800 by Cydesa), smart building managers (Weoz by Legrand), and platforms for managing energy savings certificates (Cae Claro by LSF Energía Iberia).
Innovations for e-mobility and industry
Genera 2025
In the field of e-mobility, the showcase will include intelligent charging systems (Zaptec Go2), portable energy stations made from repurposed vehicle batteries (Tera Nomad 3R by Tera Batteries), and new public charging columns (Viaris City+ Pro by Orbis Tecnologia Eléctrica).
Solar Quality Summit returns to Barcelona in 2026
Other innovations address sustainable vegetation management in utility-scale PV plants (Vegetation Management by Norfarming), flexible UV-resistant cable protection conduits for PV systems (FlexiUV Tube by Aiscan), and research projects that combine photovoltaics and agriculture (PV4Plants by R2M Solution Spain).
A meeting point for the industry
With the Innovation Gallery, Genera and Matelec aim to drive technological progress and ecological transformation in the energy sector. The organisers view International Electrification and Decarbonisation Week as a key meeting place for professionals shaping the sector’s sustainable future.
