Solis Brings Storage Retrofit Solutions & AI Energy Management into Focus at Intersolar Europe 2026

At Intersolar Europe 2026, Solis showcased its latest energy storage portfolio while highlighting one of the most significant opportunities shaping the European market: helping existing solar owners add storage, improve energy control, and unlock greater long-term value from their PV systems. Across the exhibition, conversations with installers, distributors, wholesalers, and project developers pointed to a clear trend. Europe’s large installed base of rooftop solar systems is now creating strong demand for storage retrofit solutions, as homeowners and businesses seek to increase self-consumption, reduce exposure to changing electricity prices, and improve energy independence. For many customers, the question is no longer whether solar is the right choice, but how to add storage in a way that is simple, cost-effective, and ready for future energy needs. This shift was equally evident in the commercial and industrial ( C&I ) sector, where factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities with existing PV systems are exploring battery storage to optimise energy use, reduce peak demand, and improve resilience during periods of grid instability. Solis Presents Range of Residential and C&I Storage Solutions To meet these evolving requirements, Solis presented a range of residential and C&I storage solutions designed to support retrofit applications, flexible system design, and faster deployment. Solis Exhibition One of the key highlights was FlexAIO, Solis’ newly launched residential all-in-one energy storage platform. With its integrated stacked design, intelligent energy optimisation, and simplified installation approach, FlexAIO attracted strong interest from visitors looking for practical ways to add battery storage to existing residential solar systems with minimal disruption. Alongside its residential solutions, Solis also showcased storage technologies for commercial and industrial applications, supporting businesses that require greater flexibility, enhanced energy control, and more effective use of on-site power generation. AI-Powered Energy Management A major area of discussion throughout the exhibition was AI-powered energy management. Visitors showed strong interest in Solis AI, particularly its ability to optimise battery charging and discharging, respond to time-of-use tariffs where available, and help users maximise self-consumption automatically. As energy markets become more dynamic, intelligent control is becoming an increasingly important factor in storage investment decisions. Customers are looking beyond hardware alone and are instead considering complete energy ecosystems that can adapt to changing tariffs, evolving consumption patterns, and future energy needs. This long-term approach was also reflected in feedback from Solis partners at the event. Speaking during the exhibition, the co-founder of a European wholesaler that has worked with Solis for more than a decade said: “We’ve been working with Solis for more than 12 years. I would say one of the main reasons from the beginning is that Solis makes everything in-house. They don’t rely on a pieced-together production model—all the circuits and boards are made by Solis themselves. They are also very strong in R&D, and the team is always coming up with new solutions.” The exhibition also generated strong commercial momentum for Solis across multiple European markets. Discussions around distributor expansion, regional partnerships, and project cooperation developed into several concrete business opportunities, further supporting the company’s long-term growth strategy in the region. Commenting on the event, Sandy Woodward said, “The European market is entering a new phase where customers are no longer simply purchasing equipment. They are investing in intelligent energy systems that can evolve alongside their needs.” Woodward added, “What we saw at Intersolar this year was a clear acceleration in demand for storage retrofits, AI-enabled energy management, and flexible system architectures that support both residential and commercial applications. These are exactly the areas where Solis continues to invest and innovate.” Following the exhibition, Solis will continue to work closely with installers, distributors, wholesalers, and project developers through technical support programmes, local service initiatives, and ongoing market development activities across Europe and beyond.
