The UK Solar Summit is an unmissable event if you are targeting the UK’s utility scale solar market. As an event sponsor, we were overwhelmed with a huge number of high quality enquiries for our grid intelligence solutions. We are looking forward to coming back in June 2023.

The event to go to if you are looking for high quality information on the UK solar market, market updates and networking. Came away with new contacts, ideas and better understanding of the market. Definately on my calender for the next event.
Simon Wragg

The UK Solar Summit delivered on all fronts. Confirmation of exponential market growth, highlighting the major risks and challenges the market is facing, introduction of new technologies and innovations as well as a condensed and productive networking event. A 'must go' event in our calendar, would highly recommend.
