Grid Delay, Price Volatility, Delivery Pressure — Join SMM's Munich Solar & Storage Forum in June to Navigate Challenges

Europe's renewable energy market is undergoing structural acceleration in 2026. Utility-scale storage projects are breaking ground at pace, and solar installations continue to expand — but supply chain pressures are intensifying in parallel. Lithium carbonate price swings have yet to fully transmit through to system-level pricing, and the cost mechanisms across the cell and integration layers are still being recalibrated. At the same time, grid connection queues in Europe are lengthening, permitting timelines are growing less predictable, and project delivery schedules are under real strain. How Chinese supply chains respond to Europe's shifting market structure, and how European developers balance cost pressure with project momentum, have become defining questions for the entire value chain.

To address these challenges head-on, SMM is hosting the 2026 SMM Germany Solar & Energy Storage Forum on 23 June 2026 in Munich, running alongside Intersolar Europe & ESS Europe. The forum brings together senior industry leaders from GCL, LONGi, Gokin Solar, Farasis Energy, Verkor, Greenvolt Power, AKU-BAT CZ, RES Group, Power Capital Renewable Energy, and more, for a focused dialogue on European ESS project realities, China's PV supply chain dynamics, and the path forward for China-Europe collaboration.

Venue: Hotel Novotel München Messe, Munich, Germany

Date: 23 June 2026 | 14:00–18:0
