L'édition 2026 se déroulera uniquement en anglais. 

Since 2019, Belgian Solar Day has been the most important event for the photovoltaic industry in Belgium. The previous edition brought together more than 200 professionals from the sector. The event provides an overview of the latest developments, challenges and opportunities in the PV sector, with a particular focus on the role of Belgium and its regions.

The 2026 edition ‘Securing the future with solar’ will revolve around the interaction between energy security and solar, explored in all its dimensions — from grid resilience and cybersecurity to homegrown technologies, supply chain challenges, and SO flex solutions.
