Solar and Storage Live Middle East 2027 in Dubai

Solar & Storage Live Middle East 2027 brings the region’s solar and energy storage industry to Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai on 7 and 8 September 2027. Organised by Terrapinn, the business events company behind several specialist trade shows in the region, it combines an exhibition and a conference, and a free ticket covers both, along with the networking that runs around them.

The Middle East has some of the strongest solar resources anywhere, and the push to pair that sunshine with battery storage is changing how homes, businesses and cities in the region are powered. This show gathers the suppliers, developers, financiers and policymakers behind that shift for two days under one roof.

What Solar & Storage Live Dubai is about

Terrapinn positions Solar & Storage Live Middle East as the region’s solar and energy storage exhibition, focused on the technologies at the forefront of the transition to a greener, smarter and more decentralised energy system. The programme covers the latest trends, market disruptors and technologies in the energy sector, with content spanning three scales of project: residential, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale solar and storage.

That range matters. A rooftop system for a villa, a solar carport for a logistics depot and a utility-scale plant with grid batteries raise very different questions about equipment, financing and regulation, and the show is designed so that people working at each scale can find relevant suppliers and sessions.

Part of an international series

The Dubai show belongs to a wider international family of Solar & Storage Live events, which Terrapinn also runs in other markets including Riyadh and Johannesburg. Other members of the family include Solar & Storage Live UK at the NEC in Birmingham, scheduled for 22 to 24 September 2026, and an edition in Amsterdam, while the Saudi edition is staged at Riyadh Front. Terrapinn took over the Solar & Storage Live brand in 2018. That network tends to bring a broad mix of manufacturers and specialists to each edition.

The Dubai event has been held at Dubai World Trade Centre before. The 2025 edition took place there on 24 and 25 June 2025 and was promoted with more than 150 exhibitors, and the solar industry association MESIA listed it among its partnered events. A June 2026 edition was announced but was later reported as postponed, which makes the September 2027 show the next chance to see the exhibition in Dubai.

Exhibition and conference at Dubai World Trade Centre

For 2027, Terrapinn expects more than 10,000 attendees and around 1,500 VIPs, with more than 150 speakers and more than 150 exhibitors. Because the free ticket includes the conference as well as the exhibition, visitors can move between the stage and the stands without needing a separate pass or choosing between the two.

On the exhibition floor, expect stands showing solar panels, inverters, battery storage systems and related services. The conference is where industry figures discuss what is working in the market, so it is the place to follow policy, financing and technology trends, while the stands are where you can compare products and talk directly with suppliers.

Solar & Storage Live Middle East is co-located with EVCharge Live Middle East, an exhibition and conference on electric vehicle charging infrastructure, at the same venue on the same dates. If you are planning a site that combines solar, batteries and EV charging, such as a business park or logistics hub, both shows can be covered in a single visit.

Who the solar show suits

The organisers say the event is for anyone seeking energy solutions, and they single out utilities and independent power producers, financiers and investors in energy projects, government bodies and regulators, large energy users across industries, and energy start-ups.

It is also relevant to engineers, consultants, developers, facilities managers and sustainability teams planning rooftop solar, on-site storage or larger renewable projects. Homeowners and small business owners who are curious about solar can use the free exhibition to see the equipment on offer in the UAE and ask suppliers questions face to face.

Registration and getting there

Registration is through Terrapinn’s official registration page, and the free ticket covers the conference, the exhibition and networking. No paid ticket options were shown on the official site at the time of writing, and the organisers may add programme details and further options closer to the date. The specific halls and opening hours have not yet been announced. Some third-party calendars list different 2027 dates for the Dubai show, so confirm the dates on Terrapinn’s official page before you plan your visit.

Dubai World Trade Centre is on Sheikh Zayed Road, and the World Trade Centre Metro station on the Red Line is beside the venue.
