Solar & Storage Live Riyadh 2026

About the event
Solar & Storage Live Riyadh runs from 23 to 25 November 2026 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center, under the heading Design. Construct. Operate., covering residential, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale solar and storage projects. Climatech Saudi Arabia, the show for HVAC, cooling, heating and ventilation, is held at the same venue at the same time, and the two share one session schedule.
The exhibition shows the products, equipment and solutions changing how energy is generated, managed and used across the commercial, industrial and utility sectors, and brings decision-makers from utilities, industry, finance and government together with equipment manufacturers, technology suppliers and integrators. It is accompanied by a conference of three tracks running across the three days, with keynotes, case studies, panel discussions, fireside chats and workshops covering grid readiness and flexibility; battery storage and technologies beyond lithium-ion; utility-scale solar and rooftop solar for commercial and industrial sites; artificial intelligence data centres and their power demand; green hydrogen and power-to-X; and localisation of supply chains and workforce development. The organiser expects more than 450 exhibitors, 12,000 attendees and over 200 speakers.
Entry is free for visitors with prior registration and covers the exhibition, the three conference tracks and the official event app, which carries the agenda and the exhibitor and speaker lists; a paid premium networking pass adds the meeting scheduler and the full attendee list. Doors open on Monday and Tuesday from 11:30 to 19:30, and on Wednesday until 18:30. Sessions need no advance booking and are not recorded, and parking at the venue is paid.
