Introduction

Planning international trade shows in 2026 or preparing your exhibition schedule for 2027? As solar power, lithium batteries and energy storage systems become more important to the global electricity market, specialist exhibitions are valuable places to compare technology, meet suppliers and identify new business partners.

The final weeks of 2026 include major events in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Many of these solar energy trade shows feature battery storage, inverters, power conversion, smart grids and energy management alongside conventional photovoltaic equipment. Dedicated battery conferences and marine industry events offer additional opportunities for manufacturers serving industrial and vessel applications.

This guide combines a late-2026 exhibition calendar with selected 2027 battery, solar and renewable energy events. Each listing highlights the confirmed dates, location, principal technology areas and business relevance. The aim is to help battery manufacturers, energy storage suppliers, distributors, EPC contractors and equipment OEMs select the right events for their markets and projects.

All dates are based on organizer or venue information reviewed on 11 November 2026. Future schedules can change. Check each official website before booking travel or exhibition space.
