    Event overview

    Overview

    InterSolution 2027 is the 15th edition of the Benelux's leading trade fair for solar energy and energy storage, held on 27-28 January 2027 at Flanders Expo in Ghent, Belgium. It is a business-only event where manufacturers, wholesalers and service providers present solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, battery storage, energy-management software, EV charging and heat-pump solutions to installers, EPCs, project developers, roofers, electricians, architects and distributors.

    The fair fills Hall 8 with an international supplier base drawn mainly from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, alongside companies from France, the UK, Luxembourg, Austria and China. A two-day InterSolutionSummit runs alongside the floor with Previews of product launches, technical Labs and strategic Talks on system integration, grid congestion, negative power prices, PPAs, battery safety, AI-driven optimisation and circular panel and battery lifecycles.

    Admission is free for professional visitors but an invitation and online registration are required; private individuals and students are not admitted.

    Why visit

    Visit to compare inverters, batteries, mounting systems and EMS platforms in one hall, to sit in on the free Summit sessions, and to meet technical teams rather than sales call centres. The January timing makes it a useful buying and specification trip before the busy spring installation period. Ghent is reachable in under ten minutes by tram from Gent-Sint-Pieters, and the 2027 nocturne on 27 January runs until 20:00 for visitors who cannot leave site during the day.

    Why exhibit

    Exhibit because InterSolution concentrates the Benelux solar channel into one 10,000 sqm hall: installers, EPCs, wholesalers, project developers and specifiers who are actively choosing products for the coming season. The 2026 edition still attracted 4,486 professional visitors despite a smaller exhibitor field, and the Summit gives exhibitors a speaking platform beyond the stand. A single hall keeps footfall dense and makes a compact 9-18 sqm stand viable for a first Belgian appearance.

    Edition recap

    InterSolution 2026, the 14th edition, ran on 14-15 January 2026 in Hall 8 of Flanders Expo, Ghent. About 100 international exhibitors presented on a 10,000 sqm floor and the organiser counted 4,486 professional visitors. The programme centred on system integration, large-scale solar, battery storage, energy-management systems, grid congestion and PPAs.

    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    InterSolution remains the reference annual meeting point for the Benelux solar channel, but the 2026 edition showed a thinner supplier field: exhibitors came in at roughly 100 while visitors held near 4,500. That combination points to a market where consolidation among installers and distributors is reducing stand budgets, even as demand for storage, EMS and large-scale projects keeps buyer traffic steady. The 2027 edition matters less as a growth story than as a quality-over-quantity test: whether a smaller, more focused hall can still deliver the technical buyers that Belgian and Dutch suppliers need.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    The audience is trade-only and heavily Belgian and Dutch, with smaller groups from Germany, the UK, China, Russia and the US. It is an installer and specifier crowd rather than a consumer public: electricians, roofers, plumbers, EPCs, project developers and wholesalers. The 2026 programme deliberately addressed large-scale and technical topics such as grid congestion, PPAs, C&I batteries, fire safety and AI optimisation, which filters for professional buyers with live projects. Because entry is by invitation and free, visitor quality depends on the exhibitor and organiser invite lists rather than ticket price.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    A 9-18 sqm stand in a single 10,000 sqm hall keeps cost and footfall density manageable. With roughly 4,500 visitors over two days, an exhibitor needs a clear product story and pre-booked meetings to convert; the January date sits ahead of the spring installation season and the evening nocturne adds a second local after-work window. The Summit Previews and Labs give additional speaking visibility. The main risk is the thinner 2026 exhibitor field, which can reduce cross-traffic; budget for lead capture and follow-up rather than assuming walk-up volume.

    Intelligence

    Market context

    Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

    Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) with German and French border demand

    Why it matters

    The Benelux is one of Europe's densest residential PV markets, but its growth story has moved to storage, smart energy management and commercial/industrial projects. InterSolution is small enough to walk in two days and broad enough to cover the whole specification chain, so it functions as the sector's January shop window. For international suppliers it is a low-cost entry point to Belgian and Dutch installers and wholesalers; for buyers it is a single trip to compare the year's inverter, battery and mounting offers.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    From panel sales to system integration

    Suppliers are packaging PV with batteries, EV charging, heat pumps and EMS rather than selling components separately.

    What it changes: Installers need interoperable systems and software support, not just module prices.

    Source
    02

    C&I and utility-scale projects take centre stage

    Industrial rooftops, solar parks and battery-backed energy hubs are drawing EPCs, investors and large energy users.

    What it changes: The buying conversation shifts to PPAs, grid connection and project finance rather than residential payback.

    Source
    03

    Grid congestion and negative prices

    Congestion and negative electricity prices are pushing flexibility, storage and smarter dispatch up the agenda.

    What it changes: Products that shift or store generation have a clearer commercial case than plain generation.

    Source
    04

    Battery safety and European compliance

    Fire safety, C&I battery standards and new EU building obligations are becoming purchasing criteria.

    What it changes: Compliance documentation and certified installation matter as much as headline capacity.

    Source
    05

    Circularity and lifecycle services

    Panel and battery take-back, reuse and circular business models are appearing alongside new-product launches.

    What it changes: Service and lifecycle offers can differentiate suppliers in a price-competitive market.

    European solar and storage trade circuit

    January to September 2027

    InterSolution opens the Benelux buying year in January; Düsseldorf, Munich and Birmingham follow through spring and autumn. Suppliers often use Ghent for Benelux launches and the larger German shows for pan-European campaigns.

    Confirm the 2027 dates, Hall 8 location and free trade-visitor registration; request an invitation if your employer or an exhibitor is hosting you. — Entry is business-only and by invitation.

    D-10

    Book rail or flights to Brussels and a hotel near Gent-Sint-Pieters or the venue; leave buffer for the Wednesday nocturne. — Late January is low season but midweek business demand can tighten rooms.

    D-7

    Download the exhibitor list and Summit programme; shortlist 10-15 stands and request meetings. — A single hall is walkable, but pre-booked meetings still matter.

    D-3

    Check the De Lijn route and buy or top up a contactless tram ticket; print or save the venue address. — Tram 1 from Gent-Sint-Pieters takes under 10 minutes.

    D-1

    First-timer guide

    Follow-up playbook

    1. Export and de-duplicate leads the same evening; record name, company, role, product interest and agreed next step.
    2. Send a short personalised email within 48 hours referencing the stand conversation and one relevant product or document.
    3. Route technical questions to an application engineer and promise a dated response, not a generic brochure.
    4. Invite qualified leads to a follow-up call or site visit within two weeks; attach the specification or quote.
    5. Review conversion after 30 days and feed the reasons for lost leads back into the next show plan.

    InterSolution is a compact two-day fair, so most conversations are short. The exhibitor who follows up with a specific technical answer within 48 hours is more likely to be remembered than one who sends a mass newsletter. Use the Wednesday nocturne and Thursday morning for the highest-value meetings, then clear the leads before the weekend.
