What Forum Solar PLUS is and what's new for 2026

Forum Solar PLUS is a conference for the German PV and storage industry, run by Conexio-PSE GmbH on 24 and 25 November 2026 at the bcc Berlin Congress Center. The two-day programme brings together policymakers, media and association staff, finance and investment professionals, utilities and grid operators, project developers and asset owners, and companies across the solar value chain, plus start-ups and students.

Facts for the 2026 edition:

  • This year's motto is "Klartext. Augenhöhe. Aufbruchstimmung", (plain speaking, dialogue at eye level, a spirit of new beginnings), per the organiser's own site.
  • The programme covers EEG and Solarpaket 1, PPAs and EEG tenders, dynamic tariffs, storage business models and battery lifecycle, digitalisation and AI in field service, community acceptance, grid connections, and agri-PV and floating PV.
  • The Start-Up meets Forum pitch competition with Vireo Ventures returns for 2026: apply by 15 October 2026, with pitches on 25 November.

Program highlights and key dates

Day one, 24 November, opens at 10:00 with a session featuring BSW-Solar, BEE and DIW Berlin, then runs through parallel tracks on storage, industrial solar and financing until 17:30, an evening keynote at 17:40, and dinner and networking from 18:30 to 21:30, per the programme overview.

Day two, 25 November, opens around 09:00 with a "PV bringt Resilienz" theme, an informal Women's Network meeting and "Get the Mic" networking around 10:00, then four parallel tracks from 11:00 to 12:30: an expert panel and sessions on grid data platforms, renewable business models and the EU internal energy market. The Start-Up meets Forum pitch presentations also run on 25 November. The event closes by 16:00, per the organiser's ticket platform.

  • Free cancellation and a flexible stay let the booking change if the team list changes.
  • If you are applying for the Start-Up meets Forum pitch competition, register by 15 October 2026, per the organiser's site, well before you pack.
  • Day one runs to a 21:30 dinner and networking close, so plan the ride back: the S5 or S7 runs from Alexanderplatz to Ostkreuz without a change.

Maximize your time on-site

Forum Solar PLUS runs entirely indoors across the bcc's two conference floors, over two late-November days. Step into the courtyard at Habyt Berlin Waterfront for fresh air before you leave in the morning, or after the trip back in the evening.

  • Day one's dinner and networking runs 18:30 to 21:30, so a late return is normal; the S5 or S7 takes you back to Ostkreuz directly, per BVG.
  • Day two closes by 16:00. With a stay until 26 November, you travel home the next morning and do not rush for an evening train.
  • A walk by the Rummelsburger See is a longer option if two days indoors call for more than a few minutes outside.
