After years of rapid photovoltaic expansion, Poland’s solar sector is entering a phase of consolidation. Attention is shifting towards system integration, storage and grid stability as the market adapts to new technical and regulatory conditions. Commercial and industrial projects are gaining traction, alongside a stronger focus on self-consumption and energy management. ENEX reflects this transition, positioning itself as a key platform for a more mature, solutions-oriented market.
Polish market is changing
A photovoltaic system rarely operates in isolation. It forms part of broader solutions that include storage, heat pumps, energy management and EV charging. Quality standards are rising, alongside stricter expectations around installation safety and supply security. The market focus is shifting from rapid capacity growth towards efficiency, system integration and subsidy-independent profitability.

New developments in PV
Next-generation PV modules introduce higher performance benchmarks. N-type cell technology now delivers outputs above 700 W and efficiencies of up to 24.1 percent, combined with high bifaciality and low degradation rates. PV carports increasingly combine weather protection with on-site generation for municipalities and commercial users. Energy storage is becoming standard, with scalable LiFePO₄-based systems suited to both residential and industrial applications. Hybrid inverters further support self-consumption and backup power supply.
Maximising solar financial performance in Central and Eastern Europe
Real-time energy management systems coordinate multiple generation sources and respond to market price signals to optimise cost control. Heat pumps using natural refrigerants deliver improved seasonal efficiency and integrate directly with PV systems, maintaining performance even at low temperatures. Overcurrent and surge protection solutions cover both AC and DC sides, while advanced cable management tools enhance installation efficiency and site safety. All of these solutions will be on display in Kielce.
Conferences, policy and industry trends
Conferences including HeatPumpForum and Solar+Forum will address regulation, installation quality, solar park development and storage integration. ENEX 2026 brings together industry associations, experts and government agencies, positioning the event not only as a technology showcase but also as a networking platform and forum for dialogue on the development of solar markets in Poland and across Central and Eastern Europe.
