Solar & Storage Live UK 2026

Solar & Storage Live UK 2026 is a three-day solar and energy storage exhibition taking place from 22 to 24 September 2026 at The NEC in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The event is positioned as the UK’s largest solar energy exhibition and brings together buyers, installers, developers, manufacturers, technology providers, utilities, investors, and other professionals working across residential, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale solar and storage. The 2026 edition is expected to attract 20,000+ attendees, 500+ exhibitors, 250+ speakers, and 30+ partners across approximately 40,000 square metres of exhibition space.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of Solar & Storage Live UK is to connect the full solar and storage value chain around technologies, products, services, and commercial opportunities supporting the UK energy transition. The event is designed to help buyers and installers compare solutions, meet suppliers, understand market and policy developments, and identify technologies suitable for residential, commercial, industrial, and large-scale energy projects.

Key Activities

The event combines a large exhibition with expert-led conference sessions, installer training, networking events, awards, product demonstrations, and dedicated content theatres. Participants can explore solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, battery storage, grid infrastructure, monitoring technologies, testing equipment, and related services from more than 500 suppliers. The programme also includes CPD-accredited sessions covering solar and storage markets, power systems, utility-scale projects, commercial and industrial deployment, workforce development, data centres, and installer training.

Significance

The event is significant because it provides a large-scale commercial meeting point for the UK solar and battery storage industries at a time of rapid project development and growing demand for distributed and utility-scale clean energy infrastructure. Its focus on buyers, installers, developers, and technology suppliers makes it particularly relevant for companies seeking direct commercial engagement, product evaluation, technical learning, and new business opportunities across the UK market.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect greater exposure to new solar and storage technologies, practical technical knowledge, and opportunities to meet suppliers, customers, industry associations, and project partners. The event is intended to support purchasing decisions, project development, professional training, commercial partnerships, and stronger connections across the UK’s solar and energy storage ecosystem.
