About Sustainable Solutions Düsseldorf (formerly Solar Solutions Düsseldorf)
Sustainable Solutions Düsseldorf, the renewable energy trade fair long known as Solar Solutions Düsseldorf, runs on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 December 2026 in Halls 13 and 14 at Messe Düsseldorf.
The organiser calls it the leading fair for the renewable energy sector in North Rhine-Westphalia: an exclusive B2B show for installers, developers and other solar professionals, with four themes (solar, smart storage, EV charging and green HVAC), more than 200 exhibitors, a seminar programme and an Innovation Boulevard where new products compete for a Best Innovation Award.
The 2025 edition drew 13,304 visitors and 267 exhibitors, most visitors coming from Germany and the Netherlands. VALVE WORLD EXPO runs at the same fairground from 1 to 3 December 2026, so rooms near the halls go quickly. Sustainable Solutions Düsseldorf hotels in Stockum, Golzheim, the Altstadt and the city centre all have a short trip to the halls.
