SSEC – Storage & Solar Expo Conference 2026

SSEC – Storage & Solar Expo Conference 2026 is a two-day specialised B2B event for solar photovoltaics and energy storage taking place on 22 to 23 September 2026 at the Vicenza Expo Centre in Vicenza, Italy. Powered by KEY – The Energy Transition Expo, SSEC brings together manufacturers, distributors, EPC contractors, utilities, system integrators, investors, project developers, energy managers, technical professionals, and institutional stakeholders working across the solar and storage value chain.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of SSEC is to create a focused business platform for the solar and energy storage sectors. The event is designed to help companies generate qualified leads, develop commercial partnerships, present new technologies, expand distribution networks, and engage directly with buyers and decision-makers. It also aims to support knowledge exchange around regulation, incentives, market trends, grid integration, and new energy business models.

Key Activities

The event combines two dedicated exhibition areas for solar and storage with conference stages, workshops, roundtables, technical sessions, and networking. Technologies on display include high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, inverters, battery storage systems, energy management solutions, smart-grid technologies, and related digital services. Conference topics include agrivoltaics, industrial energy competitiveness, building decarbonisation, flexibility, digitalisation, storage systems, photovoltaics, and self-consumption.

Significance

SSEC is significant because it provides a highly specialised meeting point for Italy’s growing solar and storage markets rather than covering the wider energy sector in general. Its B2B format is centred on direct interaction between technology suppliers, energy users, EPC companies, investors, utilities, and project developers, making it particularly relevant for commercial partnerships, technology sourcing, and project development.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect greater exposure to current solar and storage technologies, direct access to suppliers and potential project partners, and updated knowledge on market and regulatory developments. The event is intended to support purchasing decisions, new commercial agreements, technology partnerships, lead generation, and stronger professional networks across the Italian renewable energy market.
