About Solar & Storage Live London 2026
Now firmly established as the definitive annual gathering for the British solar and storage industry, Solar & Storage Live London 2026 hosted 150+ exhibitors and 150+ speakers across four dedicated on-floor theatres, with over 90 agenda-driven sessions covering the full spectrum of the solar ecosystem — from utility-scale generation and grid connectivity to residential self-consumption and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
BIPV Solar Roof Tiles & Facade Cladding — Answering the UK’s Architectural Imperative
One of the most compelling conversations at Solar & Storage Live London 2026 centred on Building-Integrated Photovoltaics. With planning authorities tightening restrictions in conservation areas and heritage zones, and with the UK’s Future Homes Standard demanding higher fabric energy performance, BIPV solutions have moved from niche to essential.
Solar Air Conditioning — Decarbonising One of the Biggest Energy Consumers
Commercial air conditioning and HVAC represents one of the largest contributors to non-domestic energy consumption in the UK. Solar-powered air conditioning systems (splits air conditioning type and heat pump air conditioning type) leverage DC-powered compressors and integrated photovoltaic modules to provide cooling that draws minimal — or, during peak solar hours, zero — power from the grid. For commercial property owners and sustainability managers attending the C&I Theatre sessions on energy cost reduction and building decarbonisation, this technology offers a highly practical, immediately deployable solution.
Home Energy Storage Systems (HESS) — Enabling True Energy Independence
With grid export rates under pressure and time-of-use tariffs becoming increasingly common across UK energy suppliers, the case for residential energy storage has never been stronger. Home Energy Solar Solution (HESS) – showcased at Solar & Storage Live – is available across a wide range of inverter configurations — off-grid, hybrid, and all-in-one — with battery storage capacities from 1 kWh to 15 kWh, making it accessible for a broad spectrum of household needs and property sizes
eco° SOLAR: A Technology Portfolio Built for the UK’s Net-Zero Moment
Against the backdrop of rising energy costs, tightening building regulations, and ambitious government net-zero targets, eco° SOLAR product range addresses the precise challenges that Solar & Storage Live London 2026 will put under the spotlight.
eco° BIPV Solar Roof Tiles & Facade Cladding
eco° SOLAR’s BIPV solar roof tiles replace conventional roofing materials entirely, integrating weatherproofing and energy generation into a single architectural element — offering homeowners in planning-sensitive areas a clean, aesthetically considered route to solar generation. Complementing this, eco° SOLAR’s BIPV facade cladding system is pre-integrated into vertical cladding panels, making it particularly well suited to high-rise commercial and residential developments where roof space is limited but facade area is substantial.
eco° BESS (Battery Storage System for Homes & Enterprises)
Designed as a complete package — solar panel, solar inverter, and solar battery — eco° SOLAR Home ESS is engineered for straightforward installation and intuitive operation, an important consideration for the thousands of homeowners.
For the commercial, industrial, and utility segments that will be explored in depth across the Storage and C&I Theatres, eco° SOLAR offers two further tiers of Battery Energy Storage System: Light Commercial BESS — up to 200 kWh and Container-Scale BESS — up to 10,000 kWh, available in 20ft to 40ft container configurations, pre-fitted with Energy Management Systems (EMS) and Battery Management Systems (BMS), with live remote monitoring — ready for site delivery and rapid commissioning
eco° SOLAR Air Conditioning Systems (Split Type & Heat Pump Type)
As the demand for sustainable HVAC solutions grows, eco° SOLAR integrated air conditioning—including split and heat pump systems—allows homeowners to link solar power directly to their climate control. By minimizing grid reliance, these systems provide a clear path toward 100% energy independence.
Defining the Future of Integrated Energy Ecosystems
Solar & Storage Live London 2026 officially wrapped up its two-day residency at ExCeL London last week, cementing its status as the UK capital’s premier event for the renewable energy transition. Attracting over 10,000 industry professionals and featuring 200+ global exhibitors, the show highlighted a pivotal shift in the market: the move from standalone solar installations to fully integrated, AI-driven energy ecosystems.
This year’s exhibition was characterised by a surge in interest from the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) and residential sectors. As energy independence becomes a priority for UK property owners, the ‘Residential Theatre’ emerged as a focal point, with experts discussing the integration of solar PV with air conditioners, BIPV integrated building materials, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (HESS & BESS).
BIPV Roof Tiles
(Photovoltaic Integration in Buildings) - integrated directly into the roof tiles of buildings, capturing solar energy through roof claddings
BIPV Solar Facade Cladding
(Photovoltaic Integration in Buildings) - ideal for high rise buildings, pre-integrated into the facade cladding to capture solar energy
Solar Air Conditioning
Homeowners and businesses can benefit from solar-powered air conditioning equipment, providing 100% cooling without electricity
Home BESS
Our Home Energy Solar Solution (HESS) are available with a wide range of inverter type and battery storage capacities (1kWh to 15kWh)
