Who exhibits

Typical profile

The trade show brings together manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, installers, EPC companies and technology suppliers active in photovoltaics, energy storage, inverters, mounting systems and energy management solutions. The organiser states that it specifically welcomes companies from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Turkey, with dedicated regional agents. The rebrand to "Sustainable Solutions" reflects a broadening beyond solar towards renewable heating and cooling.

Notable exhibitors

The official exhibitor list is published on the organiser's website. Agoris does not reproduce unconfirmed brand names on the exhibitor page for the edition concerned.

Visitor quality

The audience is overwhelmingly professional: installers, distributors and end users in the Dutch renewable energy sector. The organiser reports more than 13,300 visitors at the 2026 edition, up on the previous year. These figures are reported by the organiser and are not subject to a public OJS audit.

Activities & community

Conference programme

The trade show offers more than 30 practical seminars structured around four pillars: solar, smart storage, EV charging and renewable HVAC. Practical Hubs focused on hands-on implementation round out the offering.

Awards and recognition

Innovation Boulevard showcases products and services launched within the last twelve months, with the "Best Innovation Award" (official verbatim wording), presented by an independent professional jury.

Community & networks

The event is part of a European network of events in the same series, held notably in Kortrijk, Düsseldorf, Leipzig and Vienna. A Digital Event Planner and the YDEM lead scanning/export tool support visitors and exhibitors.

How much it costs to exhibit

Preparing your visit

For the exhibitor

• 6 months out: book the space and choose the location (close to Innovation Boulevard or the Practical Hubs depending on your objective), apply for the Best Innovation Award if your product was launched less than 12 months ago.
• 3 months out: finalise the stand, brief the sales teams, activate the Digital Event Planner.
• 1 month out: client invitation campaign, appointment booking, YDEM lead scanning setup.

For the decision-making visitor

Register in advance via the official website, target the relevant seminars and Practical Hubs (smart storage, EV charging, renewable HVAC), and walk Innovation Boulevard to spot market innovations less than twelve months old.

Policy & CSR initiatives

An important distinction: the trade show's theme (renewable energy) does not in itself constitute an event CSR policy. On that front, organiser Sustainable Solutions publishes no page of environmental commitments specific to the trade show (waste management, mobility, the event's carbon footprint, ISO 20121 certification): no CSR section is accessible on en.sustainablesolutionsamsterdam.nl (five-item menu, checked June 2026). The host venue, Expo Greater Amsterdam, on the other hand displays a documented approach: the site has held Green Key Gold certification since September 2024 (an international label for congress venues committed to sustainability), its 26,000 m² roof has been fully covered with solar panels since 2002 (100% green electricity, surplus redistributed to local residents), and the site achieves a 50% reduction in water consumption, Waste2Energy treatment of waste, catering that is 95% porcelain or biodegradable, and offers EV charging points powered by solar energy. These commitments are the venue's, not those of the trade show's organiser.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

The defining feature of the recent cycle is the rebranding of "Solar Solutions" to "Sustainable Solutions Amsterdam": the trade show is no longer limited to photovoltaics but positions itself as the showcase of the renewable energy sector in the Netherlands, with four structuring pillars (solar, storage, EV charging, renewable HVAC). The 14th edition (March 2026) exceeded 13,300 visitors, confirming the maturity of the Dutch solar market and the rise of storage. The 15th edition (March 2027) extends this anchoring at Expo Greater Amsterdam, with a stable March schedule and an upgrade in content (seminars, Practical Hubs, Innovation Boulevard).
