THE first utility-scale solar and energy storage event in Sweden.

Storage | Utility-Scale Solar | Large-Scale PV

At the 1st edition of the Solarplaza Summit Sweden & Energy Storage, you'll gain the critical knowledge and connections necessary to truly tap into the potential of the Swedish PV market.

The country is attracting an inflow of project development activity around utility-scale projects and is a go-to market for foreign IPPs, project developers, and asset managers. The vibrant Swedish PPA landscape is also setting an example for other Nordic markets. However, challenges such as complex permitting schemes and a saturated grid capacity remain obstacles that new market players must navigate in order to successfully roll out new projects. Installed capacity is forecasted to increase from 2022 to 2035, at which point solar PV is expected to account for 13% of total installed generation capacity, making Sweden a preferred destination for the leading European PV companies.

The event crowd is a balanced split between high-level local and international players making for an invaluable networking pool, with key decision-makers willing to discuss and explore strategies and new business opportunities.

You can find all the relevant information about our event venue on the dedicated page.

Our events have a business-to-business focus and are tailored to high-level strategy and mid-to-large-scale project development in the renewable energy industry. The attendee profile includes a wide range of industry actors throughout the value chain, from manufacturing, project development, financing & investment, and construction to asset management, operations & maintenance, recycling, and power trading,
Our event programs are not particularly suited to individual consumers or renewables enthusiasts, although everyone is welcome!

To make the event as engaging, diverse, and valuable as possible for all attendees, we do everything we can to maintain a healthy balance between attendees “buyer” profiles (project developers, IPPs, asset owners, utilities, investors, etc.) and “seller” profiles (manufacturers, service providers, software developers, etc.) profile. As such, we will sometimes limit partnership opportunities (to not become too “seller” heavy) and will always actively pursue and involve attendees of a “buyer” profile, offering high-level companies in this category customized event experiences.

Yes, attendees can enhance their summit experience with the Solarplaza mobile app. The app offers a mobile-friendly overview of the event program, speakers, and partners and offers registered attendees access to the full list of fellow attendees. As an event participant, you will be able to browse and filter through this list, send connection requests, and engage in direct messaging to coordinate private meetings or other event follow-ups.

You will only need to install the app once (available on Android and IOS as ‘Solarplaza App’) and can proceed to log in with the same Solarplaza account that you’ve used to purchase your tickets. The event environment is not temporary, so you’ll be able to access your connections, messages, and events after the event is over.

Nope. The app mirrors our website. You can log in to solarplaza.com with your account and access the extended event environments (for the events you’ve been registered for), as well as access your connections and messages.

Yes! And we wholeheartedly encourage you to do so. At all our events, we use the Slido Q&A tool. It’s a great online environment that allows you to (anonymously if you prefer) ask questions to our speakers and panelists, upvote the questions of others, and participate in audience polls and quizzes. You can access the Slido tool through the event app or directly through the Slido website (using the event code). We’ll project the Slido tool on the big screen whenever it’s time to involve the audience in the discussion.

You can access the full list of attendees through the Solarplaza App. There, you can send connection requests and engage in direct communications with your fellow attendees to informally set up meetings. For most of our events, we designate specific meeting zones in the venue (indicated on the floor plan), which will be a logical meet-up spot for any meetings you agree on in the app. As of yet, there is no specific meeting scheduling functionality built into the app.

Would you prefer a more personal approach? Our team onsite is always happy to assist you in trying to establish introductions to specific people or profiles you might be looking for.

Yes, after the event concludes, attendees will be able to access the presentations by completing a survey to review the event. The event survey will be sent via email, as well as via a notification in the app. Ensure to always check your inbox fully and complete the survey to access all slides.

No, generally we do not. We emphasize the live experience and would rather attribute budget to keynotes than video production crews.

We aim to strike a careful balance between knowledge sharing and networking. The content blocks of our programs are made up of informational presentations, engaging panel discussions, and interactive elements such as workshops. However, we reserve plenty of time for networking, ensuring multiple lengthy breaks on a day for establishing connections and gathering refreshments.

For each event, we assemble an event advisory board that includes high-level market experts and industry heavyweights. These advisory board members are important sources of feedback and industry connections in the process of building our program.

We strive to finalize the program several weeks before the event. However, if 20 years of organizing events have taught us anything, it’s to “always expect the unexpected”. Small changes and substitutions in the program may occur up until the day itself, in case speakers themselves have to excuse themselves due to unforeseen circumstances.

We only ever publish speakers who have given a clear confirmation of their attendance and would never lure audiences with false promises of big names without their concrete commitment. Emergencies, however, are outside of our control.

In addition to attending the main event, Solarplaza often offers valuable add-ons to enhance your experience. These can include networking dinners, project visits, or other interactive experiences. Please visit the registration page to view which add-ons are available for this event.

We are grateful to be able to count on the support of a wide range of industry organizations that support our events and, in turn, benefit from the high-level platform they’re able to get at the events. Their organization types can range from manufacturers, service providers, and software developers to law firms, consultancies, IPPs, and utilities. Feel free to review the list of partners for this event.
Check out our partners here

We offer partnership opportunities to industry organizations to profile their brand, showcase their expertise, and promote their products. These partnerships include branding opportunities (logo visibility on event materials, etc.), exhibition opportunities (booth space), and sponsorship of add-ons and event components (breaks, activities, tools). Inclusion in the event program is negotiable but highly limited and subject to guidance and moderation.

Inclusion in the event program is negotiable but highly limited, and very dependent on the event program and the concrete expertise a partner can offer. We know that pure product pitches are not appreciated by anyone, so we actively work with our partners to help them showcase their expertise and practical experience, thereby providing optimal value for both the attendees and the partners themselves.

The team member dedicated to this specific event is listed at the bottom of every page of the event subsite.
