New Energy Storage Live Room

What is solar & storage live?

Solar & Storage Live is the UK’s most forward-thinking, challenging and exciting renewable energy exhibition that celebrates the technologies at the forefront of the transition to a greener, smarter, more decentralised energy system.

Do energy storage systems cover green energy plateaus?

Energy storage systems must develop to cover green energy plateaus. We need additional capacity to store the energy generated from wind and solar power for periods when there is less wind and sun. Batteries are at the core of the recent growth in energy storage and battery prices are dropping considerably.

Why should you attend a solar & storage conference in London?

We bring the entire energy value chain together with innovators and disruptors, to discover the technology and solutions needed to drive the UK’s energy transition. The London edition was launched in 2024 and was an overwhelming success, smashing targets with over 10,000 solar and storage professionals attending.

Why is energy storage so important?

There is a growing need to increase the capacity for storing the energy generated from the burgeoning wind and solar industries for periods when there is less wind and sun. This is driving unprecedented growth in the energy storage sector and many countries have ambitions to participate in the global storage supply chains.

Are batteries the future of energy storage?

Batteries are at the core of the recent growth in energy storage and battery prices are dropping considerably. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market, but other technologies are emerging, including sodium-ion, flow batteries, liquid CO2 storage, a combination of lithium-ion and clean hydrogen, and gravity and thermal storage.

Is energy storage a one-size-fits-all solution?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution as far as energy storage is concerned. The scale-up of a diverse mix of hardware and software technology solutions will be essential.” Energy storage creates a buffer in the power system that can absorb any excess energy in periods when renewables produce more than is required.
