April 2026 Solar & Storage Exhibitions: Global Strategy Guide

T Table of Contents

April 2026 is not just another month on the energy calendar—it is the defining “Solar Spring” where global procurement, technology roadmaps, and policy directions converge. The industry lexicon has shifted decisively from “capacity expansion” to High-Efficiency (HJT/BC) + Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) + AI-driven Energy Management. For international buyers, EPCs, and IPPs, this April offers four pivotal gatherings across Beijing, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, and Guadalajara.

As a Top 5 global solar mounting brand with 48GW cumulative installed capacity and market leadership in Japan (#1), Grace Solar has strategically mapped these exhibitions to connect with partners who demand bankable, certified, and smart solar mounting solutions. Our engineering teams—fluent in EN/中文/日本語/ES/PT—will be present at key events, ready to deliver terrain-based customization within 30 minutes. Below is your definitive playbook.

Date: March 31 – April 3, 2026 | Venue: Beijing · China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi) | Scale: 200,000㎡, 1000+ exhibitors

Organized by CNESA, ESIE 2026 is the unrivaled platform for utility-scale storage and grid-forming technologies. This year’s spotlight includes sodium-ion, vanadium redox flow batteries, and PV-ESS hybrid PCS. For mounting system providers, the key takeaway is the mechanical-electrical integration trend—how racking and tracking systems must accommodate DC-coupled storage retrofits and heavier bifacial modules.

Grace Solar at ESIE: Our R&D team will present a white paper on “Tracker-to-Storage” structural interfaces, leveraging our GS-Light Intelligent Tracking System with AI algorithms that predict wind behavior and adjust stow angles—critical for storage-integrated plants seeking 20+ year durability. Meet our Beijing technical crew to discuss co-development in grid-forming inverter retrofits.

Date: April 15–19, 2026 | Venue: Guangzhou · Canton Fair Complex

The 139th Canton Fair’s New Energy Zone remains the primary sourcing hub for international distributors seeking Belt & Road compliant PV hardware. This year, carbon footprint LCA data and EU Battery Regulation readiness are non-negotiable for buyers from Germany, Brazil, and Southeast Asia.

Grace Solar Export Advantage: With 15GW annual production capacity and 100+ global certifications (UL, TÜV, CE, JIS, MCS, AS/NZS1170), we provide full traceability from aluminum extrusion to anti-corrosion coating. Our GS-Energy roof mounting systems and balcony solar kits are engineered for the European DIY surge. Visit our Canton Fair booth to scan our EPD-compliant documentation.

Date: March 23–26, 2026 (Pre-April peak) | Venue: Hangzhou International Expo Center

CIES is where solid-state battery integration and liquid-cooling safety standards for racks are debated. For mounting innovators, the key question: How to support 500kg+ battery cabinets on elevated steel structures? Grace Solar’s 2000㎡ key laboratory has tested ZAM-coated steel profiles for ESS applications—results will be shared in Hangzhou.

Date: April 7–9, 2026 | Venue: Dubai World Trade Centre, UAE

Co-located with Middle East Energy (MEE), this is the meeting point for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and UAE’s Net Zero GW-scale projects. The region demands anti-soiling trackers, automated cleaning compatibility, and heat-resistant PV hardware.

Grace Solar Desert DNA: Our GS-Light tracker, certified with RWDI Wind Tunnel Test Report, operates flawlessly on 20% slopes and under 60m/s wind loads. In 2025, we increased Middle East project bankability by integrating AI-based soiling loss prediction. Our local engineers (based in Dubai) will host live demonstrations of the multipoint drive mechanism—stop by to calculate your LCOE reduction.

Date: April 8–9, 2026 | Venue: MITEC, Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia’s NEM 3.0 and corporate rooftop leasing models make it Southeast Asia’s most vibrant C&I market. Here, lightweight, non-penetrating roof mounts and hybrid carport solutions are high-demand.

Grace Solar’s C&I Arsenal: Our GS-Energy roof mounting system (rail-less design, 10–60° adjustable) and waterproof solar carports have been deployed in 100+ MW ASEAN projects. With JIS and TÜV certifications, we offer the fastest payback for industrial rooftops. Pre-book a KL consultation for NEM 3.0 structural analysis.

Date: April 14–16, 2026 | Venue: Expo Guadalajara, Mexico

With new distributed generation (DG) rules and utility-scale recovery, Mexico is again a hotspot. RE+ brings international expertise to evaluate DG limits and project bankability.

LATAM-ready solutions: Grace Solar’s galvanized ground mounting systems (A/VV/N/W-Type) with concrete/screw foundations are engineered for fast installation and seismic resilience. Our Spanish-speaking engineers—part of the 650-strong team—will be on-site to discuss compliance with local utility codes.
