Who is Solarplaza?

It’s our business to accelerate the sustainable energy transition


At Solarplaza, we make it our business to accelerate the sustainable energy transition. Firmly believing that the sun is the solution, we empower the international solar PV industry by sharing knowledge and network.

We host high-level B2B solar events in both established and emerging energy markets around the world. We maintain an online platform bursting with solar resources and industry intelligence. In addition, we tailor market entry and project development solutions through the Solarplaza Consultancy, and support the sustainable electrification of less privileged communities through the Solarplaza Foundation.

All this is fully researched, conceptualized, designed, built, coordinated, communicated, and executed by a team of highly-motivated, multi-disciplinary renewable energy enthusiasts. Hailing from 15 different countries, we call Rotterdam our home, but travel the world together to execute our solar events.


What we believe

We believe that the sun is the solution. A total of 173,000 terawatts of solar energy strikes the Earth continuously. That's more than 10,000 times the world's total energy use. Businesses need to harness that power, distribute it equally, and fight climate change.
