Invitation to the SOLAR FLEX Prague 2026 conference

Prague will become the centre of the European debate on solar flexibility and energy storage.

On 29 January 2026, Prague will host the first SOLAR FLEX Prague conference, focusing on the integration of solar energy, energy storage and power system flexibility.

The conference is jointly organised by SolarPower Europe, the AKU-BAT Association and the Solar Association. SOLAR FLEX Prague aims to become the leading Central European platform for dialogue among representatives of public authorities and European institutions, transmission and distribution system operators, developers, investors, technology companies and flexibility aggregators.

High-level political and expert participation

Business, grids and flexibility in practice

The conference programme is divided into themed panels addressing specific market challenges:

• Solar power plants and energy storage: new business models

  Case studies on combining photovoltaics and battery systems, integrating BESS into PPA contracts, and retrofitting existing power plants.

  The perspectives of grid operators, the regulator and technology suppliers on the role of flexibility and large-scale batteries.

• The key role of flexibility aggregators

  The development of flexibility aggregation, the role of software, and the participation of residential and industrial resources.

A cross-border platform for information sharing and networking

SOLAR FLEX Prague will offer not only expert content, but also opportunities to make connections among key players in the energy sector, including those from outside the Czech Republic. The conference is intended for investors, developers, energy companies, technology suppliers, regulators and public administration representatives seeking practical solutions for the further development of solar energy and energy storage in Europe.
