Firstly, figure out what you want to achieve at Solar & Storage Live. Exhibiting at ExCeL London is a big investment, so make sure you’re clear what success will look like for you – whether that’s generating leads, raising brand awareness or making contact with decision-makers.
Next, consider your budget. You’ll need to account for both the floor space and the display itself, but it’s not just about size. Try to strike a balance between having enough space to showcase your products and designing a memorable concept.
When it comes to your stand, think about what will draw your visitors in. Are you going for hands-on products with interactive displays? Or using big props to catch the eye? And how will you demonstrate your commitment to sustainability? Hiring part of your stand or reusing recyclable materials sends a great message and can reinforce your brand values.
Next, think about who you want to meet at the show. Whether it’s 50 quality leads or 10 key decision-makers, a clear target will keep you focused and help measure your success.
Finally, you need to put together a strong exhibition brief. This is critically important – whether you’re bringing in a stand-building partner like us, or managing it all yourself. A great brief keeps everything on track and will really help the vision for your stand come to life.
We’ve helped countless brands both large and small to navigate the exhibition planning process, so if you’re wondering where to start, check out our guide to writing the perfect exhibition stand brief.

FAQs
Do you have other clients exhibiting at Solar & Storage Live London 2025?
Yes we do! We’re a familiar presence at Solar & Storage shows. Each year, we partner with multiple clients to design, install, and break down their exhibition stands.
Having several stands at one venue means more hands on deck, extra tools, and project managers to ensure everything runs smoothly. And we know the venue inside and out.
How much will my exhibition stand cost?
Several factors will affect the cost of your stand:
- Pitch size: The bigger the floor space, the bigger the stand, and higher the cost.
- One-off or reusable: Do you need something just for this show, or would you like a stand you can update and reuse for future events?
- Your goals: What are you hoping to achieve? Let’s make sure your budget reflects your ambitions.
Don’t worry, we’ll help you balance your vision with your budget, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
