What is claimed to be the Middle East’s only dedicated platform for solar solutions in construction is set to open its doors for its third edition this month (November 25 to 26) as part of The Big 5 mega construction showcase.

The Big 5 Solar presents a unique exhibition where stakeholders from the built environment can source the latest products and technologies from the worldwide solar industry, to help incorporate renewable energy into their designs.

With experts reporting that the Middle East countries have committed to a total of more than $30 billion towards solar power projects over the next five years, access to solar power in the region is expected to surge over the period, according to Josine Heijmans, portfolio director at dmg events.

“This positive market outlook has not gone unnoticed by major industry players abroad, and we are delighted to report a growing interest from these brands to present the latest solar options to the Middle East construction community, allowing them to capitalise on the clean energy resource,” she says.

The Big 5 Solar gathers industry heavyweights from the US, South Africa, UK, China, Brazil, Japan, Saudi Arabia, India and other countries to showcase the latest in solar innovations for the construction industry. The event welcomes the likes of IBV Energy, Jinko Solar, S-5! Attachment, Univergy, Sagia, Sunew, Verditek PLC and Godrej & Boyce.

Exhibitors will showcase solar solutions across four of the most prominent product sectors in the industry, including solar thermal technologies, energy storage, solar technology and related services, and photovoltaics (PV).

Visitors to The Big 5 Solar can also learn more about the right solar approach for their build throughout the free-to-attend and CPD (Continuing Professional Development)-certified Solar Talks. Curated by thought leaders, the agenda covers a range of topics such as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts in the GCC energy sector, renewable energy for commercial consumers, solar rooftop trends and net zero building frameworks.
