Exhibition Stand Builders for SolarEX Istanbul

Product groups and visitors

The organiser lists photovoltaics and storage as the core of the fair, including:

• Cells and modules
• Inverters, measurement and control technologies
• Chargers, batteries and energy storage systems
• Cables, connectors and junction boxes
• Solar tracking systems and mounting structures
• Building-integrated PV (BIPV) and off-grid systems

According to the organiser's visitor profile, visitors include trade buyers, investors, industrial purchasing managers, engineers, distributors, public institutions and academia. Product groups and halls can change between editions, so check the official website for the current plan.

Displaying PV modules

Full-size modules are big and heavy and are often shown on wall frames, tilted racks or on a sample mounting structure. Plan secure fixing points, a frame that can take the combined weight and enough distance from the aisle so visitors can look closely without touching edges. Back-lit or cut-away modules help explain cell technology.

Inverters, batteries and storage cabinets

Storage systems and inverters are dense and heavy — give their weights to your stand builder so plinths and floor are designed for them. If you plan to energise any equipment, check the organiser's and venue's rules for live electrical demonstrations and batteries first; displaying units unpowered, with screens showing monitoring software, is often simpler.

Stand height and structural approval

The organiser's page on technical conditions for stand installation — published for an earlier edition — stated that custom stands could be built up to 5 m, that stands of 4 m or more required a signed undertaking from an architect and a static-control check, and that two-storey stands needed a structural project. Confirm the current figures for 2027 before you design a tall or double-deck stand.

Drawings and services for approval

The same page asked exhibitors to submit stand drawings with all dimensions and their electricity, water and compressed-air requirements to the fair's technical office for review before work starts, and stated that unapproved designs would be refused. Ask your stand builder who prepares and submits these drawings and by when.

Monitoring screens and live data

Many solar exhibitors show plant monitoring dashboards, configurators or project videos. Plan where screens go so they are readable from the aisle, and order a stable internet connection if you show live data.

Meeting space for distributors and investors

Deals at a solar fair are often about distribution rights, project pipelines and financing. A meeting area with tables, a semi-closed room on larger stands and storage for datasheets and samples keeps those conversations off the display floor.

Dismantling and logistics

Heavy hardware has to arrive and leave within the build-up and dismantling windows, often by forklift. The organiser's technical conditions page also asked exhibitors to leave the stand area clean after dismantling and mentioned charges for leftover material, so agree with your stand builder who removes waste and packaging.

• Hall, stand number, exact dimensions and number of open sides
• Number, size and weight of PV modules, and how they should be displayed (wall, rack, mounting structure)
• Inverters, battery cabinets or storage containers, with dimensions and weights
• Whether any equipment will be powered or demonstrated live
• Screens for monitoring software or videos, and internet needs
• Desired stand height and whether you are considering a second storey
• Meeting tables, a closed meeting room, reception counter and storage
• Budget range and deadlines for drawings, organiser approval and build-up

Selection criteria

• Experience with energy, electrical or heavy-equipment exhibitors
• Experience at the Istanbul Expo Center
• Ability to design load-bearing displays for modules and battery systems
• Capacity to prepare architect-signed and structural documents where required
• In-house production versus subcontracting, and who supervises the build on site
• References from comparable energy stands
