The Intersolar South America Conference provides invaluable content on solar PV in Brazil and Latin America, which makes it a key event for professionals and companies from the sector.
Next edition outlook
2026-08-25 – 2026-08-27The 2026 edition is scheduled to return to Expo Center Norte, São Paulo, with the organiser positioning it as part of The smarter E South America platform and continuing the solar-plus-storage focus.
The organiser has already announced the return of the Brazilian Installer Awards in 2026. Official 2026-facing materials continue to emphasise the wider energy-industry platform around Intersolar, ees, Power2Drive and Eletrotec+EM-Power. Current organiser materials show 2026 registration and pricing references, but final attendance figures are not yet published.
Impact
The 2025 edition reinforced Intersolar South America as the region’s flagship solar meeting point, with strong visitor volume and a broad exhibitor base concentrated at Expo Center Norte. Coverage of the wider The smarter E South America platform showed the event’s role expanding beyond PV into storage, electrical infrastructure, e-mobility and cross-sector energy transition discussions.
Audience quality
The audience is highly relevant for solar manufacturers, distributors, EPCs, installers, storage suppliers and energy-transition decision-makers. Post-show coverage also suggests a substantial professional-buyer component, with more than 3,000 conference participants reported across the platform and strong crossover with storage and infrastructure audiences.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI looks strongest for exhibitors targeting Latin America’s solar channel, because the event consistently combines a large visitor base with adjacent decision-makers from storage, e-mobility and grid infrastructure. The 2025 recap suggests good traffic density and category breadth, while the organiser’s 2026-facing materials indicate continued commercial momentum and room for lead generation across the broader platform.

Why it matters
Intersolar South America 2026 is the premier gathering for Latin America's solar and energy storage industry, taking place at a pivotal moment. Brazil, the region's largest solar market, has seen explosive growth—72 GW operational by mid-2026, far exceeding all projections. Yet the sector now faces a transition: growth is decelerating from record highs, grid curtailment is a pressing operational challenge, and the regulatory landscape is evolving with new storage laws and market liberalization. The event provides a critical platform for stakeholders—project developers, EPCs, manufacturers, financiers, and policymakers—to navigate these shifts, explore integrated solutions (solar + storage + smart grids + e-mobility), and forge partnerships that will shape the next phase of Brazil's and Latin America's energy transition. With over 680 exhibitors expected and 58,000+ visitors, it offers unparalleled networking and business development opportunities in a market that remains one of the world's top five solar economies.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Brazil's Solar Capacity Surpasses Government Projections by Sixfold
Brazil reached more than 72 GW of operational solar capacity by mid-2026, almost six times the ~13 GW projected in the 2017 PDE 2026 plan. Distributed generation accounts for ~50 GW, while centralized plants add ~22.5 GW, underscoring the sector's explosive growth over the past decade.
SourceMarket Maturation and Slower Growth Amid Grid Constraints
Solar growth in Brazil is decelerating from record levels (15 GW added in 2024) to a projected 10.6 GW in 2026, with distributed generation slowing due to regulatory changes, grid saturation, and rising capital costs (Selic at 15%). The sector is shifting from rapid deployment to a more stable, challenging phase.
SourceCurtailment and Grid Integration Become Critical Issues
Curtailment of solar and wind generation has become a major operational challenge, with losses in 2026 reaching 20.6% for solar and 16.5% for wind. Grid infrastructure, planned under lower renewables scenarios, is struggling to accommodate the rapid capacity additions, prompting calls for transmission reinforcements and storage solutions.
SourceEnergy Storage Emerges as the Next Growth Frontier
Battery energy storage is gaining momentum as a critical enabler for integrating renewables, mitigating curtailment, and unlocking new demand from data centers, green hydrogen, and industrial electrification. Recent Law 15,269 includes storage in the legal framework, though cost allocation and regulatory adjustments are still debated.
SourceIntegrated Energy Ecosystem: Solar, Storage, Smart Grids, and E-Mobility
Brazil's energy transition is moving beyond standalone solar to an integrated ecosystem where PV generation, battery storage, intelligent energy management, and electric mobility converge. The smarter E South America 2026 brings together four specialized exhibitions—Intersolar, ees, Power2Drive, and Eletrotec+EM-Power—reflecting this interconnected value chain.
SourceRegional Diversification: Northeast and South Hubs
Brazil's solar market is geographically diversifying. The Northeast region hosts 74 GW of projects under development, with Ceará emerging as a green hydrogen hub. The Southern states (Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina) are experiencing maturation with technically robust projects, evidenced by the Intersolar Brasil Sul conference in Porto Alegre.

Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
| Type | Who needs it | Fee | Processing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa-free entry (tourism/business, 90 days) | Citizens of EU member states, UK, Canada, Japan, South Korea, most Mercosur countries (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay), and (as of Feb-Mar 2026) China, France, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and the Bahamas | — | None (passport only) | |
| Electronic Visa (e-Visa) | Citizens of the United States, Australia, India, China (prior to the 2026 waiver update), and other e-Visa-eligible nationalities not on the visa-free list | $80.00 | 5-10 business days | |
| VITEM-II Business Visa | Business travelers from countries not covered by the e-Visa or visa-free arrangements, or those needing a formal business visa stamped at a consulate | $160.00 | Varies by consulate, typically 5-15 business days |
As of 2026, Brazil allows visa-free entry for up to 90 days to EU, UK, Canadian, Japanese, South Korean, and Mercosur-associated nationals, plus a newly added group (China, France, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Bahamas) effective February 24, 2026 with 30 days extendable to 90. US, Australian, and Indian citizens still require an e-Visa (US citizens since April 10, 2025). Rules are nationality-specific and subject to bilateral reciprocity changes, so travelers should verify status close to the August 2026 event dates.
Brazil is not a member of the ATA Carnet system, so carnets are not accepted for temporary admission of exhibition goods, samples, or professional equipment for Intersolar South America. Exhibitors must instead use Brazil's Temporary Admission customs regime (Admissão Temporária) via Receita Federal, which typically requires a local customs broker, a bond/guarantee, and advance documentation for equipment brought to Expo Center Norte.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Cosmopolitan & Diverse
São Paulo is a melting pot of cultures, with strong Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Arab, and African influences. This diversity is reflected in its cuisine, architecture, and vibrant arts scene.
Business Etiquette
Business attire in São Paulo is formal and stylish—dark suits for men, elegant business suits or dresses for women. Handshakes with eye contact are standard; women may exchange a kiss on each cheek. Punctuality is valued in business settings, though meetings often start with small talk.
Gastronomy Hub
The city is a culinary capital, with everything from traditional Brazilian steakhouses (churrascarias) to world-class fine dining. The nearby Center Norte mall offers over 300 shops and food outlets for quick meals.
Language & Communication
Portuguese is the official language. English is not widely spoken outside tourist areas, so learning a few basic phrases (e.g., 'obrigado' – thank you) is appreciated. Business correspondence may be in Portuguese or English.
Cultural Attractions
When not at the fair, explore the art-filled Beco do Batman, the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), or the Japanese-Brazilian district of Liberdade. The city's nightlife and theater scene are also renowned.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: GRU (São Paulo–Guarulhos) or CGH (Congonhas)

August 26, 2026 is the confirmed date of the Brazilian Installer Awards 2026, an official programme highlight that draws concentrated industry attention and networking opportunities as the show's middle day.
Register online for a free/discounted visitor badge before the show — Advance online registration is typically cheaper than on-site registration at Brazilian trade fairs; check intersolar.net.br for the 2026 registration portal.
Confirm entry requirements and apply for e-Visa or business visa if required — Brazil's visa rules are nationality-dependent; US, Australian, and Indian travelers need an e-Visa while many EU/UK/Mercosur nationals enter visa-free.
Book flights into São Paulo (GRU or CGH) and hotel near Vila Guilherme or accessible metro lines — Expo Center Norte is in the Vila Guilherme district; check proximity to Portuguesa-Tietê metro station.
Shortlist target exhibitors, product categories, and conference sessions to prioritize — Use the exhibitor list and category breakdown (storage, mounting/tracking, EV charging, modules) to plan floor time across the halls.
Schedule meeting requests with priority exhibitors and set up follow-up template — Reach out to key suppliers/EPC contacts ahead of the show since floor time across four pavilions is limited.
Download event app/agenda and confirm badge/QR code — Recommended to avoid on-site registration lines during the three exhibition days.
Plan daily route across White, Green, Blue, and Red Pavilions — The venue spans four pavilions; grouping visits by product category reduces walking time.
Confirm transport to venue and print/save entry documents — Venue recommends setting Expo Center Norte as the destination in Uber, Waze, or Google Maps; car access via Portão 13.
