The exhibition will be divided into pavilions including wind power financing, small wind, software & IT solutions, wind energy forecasting. Since small/micro wind turbines, hybrid solar-wind systems are gathering interest and momentum among the renewable energy community in India, there will be additional focus on such systems in this years expo.
