21st China (Jinan) International Conference on Solar Energy Utilization & New Energy and Energy Storage Application Expo 2026

Currently, the global energy structure is undergoing deep adjustments, and achieving "dual carbon" goals has become a consensus among countries. The energy transition has shifted from a "multiple-choice question" to a "compulsory question." According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2030, renewable energy's share in global electricity generation must exceed 40% to meet climate targets, with photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage emerging as the core elements for clean power generation and consumption, becoming key levers for the transition. China is aligning with this global trend with the core strategy of "building a new energy system" and continuously rolling out multidimensional policies to empower the solar energy and storage industry.

Recent policies, such as the joint notification from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Energy Administration about the deepening of market reform for new energy feed-in tariffs, explicitly promote the comprehensive market entry of renewable electricity, opening up market channels for solar energy and storage projects. Furthermore, the high-quality development action plan for the new energy storage manufacturing sector released by eight government departments outlines a development blueprint focusing on technological innovation, industrial scale, and ecological construction. With policy dividends continuously being released, the solar and storage industry has entered a golden period characterized by "policy protection and market drive." As a demonstration area for energy green and low-carbon transformation, Shandong Province is striving to promote high-quality development of photovoltaic and energy storage industries, providing a broad platform for innovation.

In this context, the national industry event, the China (Jinan) International Solar Energy Utilization Conference, will be convened from March 9 to 11, 2026, at the Shandong International Exhibition Center. The theme of the event is "Golden Sunshine, Clean Energy, Dual Carbon Guidance, and Collaborative Storage Development," covering photovoltaic energy, energy storage, charging and swapping infrastructure technology, wind energy, integrated photovoltaic architecture, solar thermal energy, air energy, and various complementary energy application modes that promote an energy revolution and construct a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system. This event aims to showcase the industry at a high-end and authoritative level with rich topics, professional excellence, innovative models, and comprehensive industry coverage. As the largest distributed energy exhibition in the country, it will influence the entire Asia-Pacific region's distributed energy market and provide a grand occasion for numerous new energy enterprises.

The trade fair emphasizes the importance of professional audiences for its success, independently organizing specialized operations and professional activities, relying on accurate connection platforms like "one-to-one" and "C2M". The fair will particularly invite industry channel distributors, dealers, engineers, developers, investment entities, and more, striving to create a bustling exhibition gathering and to provide exhibitors with high-value returns.

Exhibition areas include:
(1) Photovoltaic Exhibition Area: Displaying PV modules, cells, inverters, combiner boxes, grid connection devices, controllers, junction boxes, crystalline/thin-film materials, PV brackets, tracking systems, and other supporting products and equipment.
