Leveraging years of global energy expertise, we are proud to introduce Solar & Storage Live Queensland – the largest event for solar, storage, and renewable energy professionals across Australia. Held in Queensland, a leader in the country’s renewable energy transition, this event brings together industry innovators, policymakers, and key stakeholders to drive forward clean energy solutions.
Queensland’s abundant sunshine, government backing, and ambitious renewable energy targets make it the ideal location to explore the latest in solar and storage technologies. Whether you’re in government, a site owner, or an installer, this event provides invaluable opportunities to learn, network, and discover the innovations shaping the future of energy.
Solar & Storage Live is the world’s largest series of solar energy trade shows organised globally by Terrapinn Limited in the UK, USA, South Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Spain, Switzerland and Australia.
Unlike other energy events that cover all types of energy, Solar & Storage Live is unique in that it focuses exclusively on solar, battery storage and EV charging.
In Australia, the solar industry is growing at a massive 25-30% and all indications are that this rate of growth is about to increase even more.
Nowhere else is this more obvious than in the state of Queensland where government is investing $billions into new infrastructure and utilities as it prepares for the 2032 Olympic Games which will be the first ‘climate positive’ games.
With things changing so rapidly, there’s lots of business opportunities and 100’s of new businesses entering the solar industry.
Join us in Brisbane, Australia in 2025 where we will bring key stakeholders within the energy value chain together with the innovators and disruptors to showcase their technology and service solutions needed to enable change at this critical time.

Your complimentary ticket includes access to the following conference streams:
Dust explosions pose significant risks. They can destroy facilities and cause fatalities and serious injuries. Dust may be a manufactured product, or a by-product generated during manufacturing, handling, storage, or waste disposal activities.
Examples of everyday combustible dust include agricultural materials – such as grain, pharmaceuticals, forest products, metals, organics and 3D printing.
The Hazardous Areas & Energy Safety Conference will cover dust hazard analysis procedures, providing an in-depth look at managing materials and activities in facilities with combustible dust. Case studies focusing on food and agricultural products will illustrate hazard identification and mitigation strategies for new and existing facilities.
Australia’s lack of significant dust explosion incidents has resulted in complacency towards combustible dust safety, with the prevailing “It won’t happen here!” mindset. The presentation will address combustible dust safety specialists’ challenges in Australia and discuss the need to change regulations and standards to overcome current complacency before disaster strikes.
Day Two will bring together industry leaders and experts to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and best practices in ensuring safety across hazardous environments and emerging energy technologies. As industries continue to evolve, the need for robust safety strategies, regulatory compliance, and innovative solutions has never been more important.
This year’s program features various topics, from process safety in energy projects to advanced hydrogen safety considerations, the importance of international standardisation, and the risks associated with battery energy storage systems.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating complex regulatory landscapes, enhancing risk management strategies and driving innovation in energy safety. The conference offers practical takeaways for the oil and gas, chemical processing, renewable energy, and industrial safety sectors. It will cover operational safety and compliance with local standards.
Arc Flash Electrical Safety 2025
Mitigating the risk of arc flash by practicing a strong safety framework to safeguard your personnel and process equipments.
Arc Flash Electrical Safety 2025 aims to provide practical ways to reinforce workplace electrical safety focusing mainly on arc flash safety. Addressing both local and international standards as arc flash safety guidelines, implement effective arc flash mitigation strategies and identifying potential arc flash hazards. Delegates will gain critical insights on recent updates for NFPA 70E 2024, guidelines to the safety standards and calculations, enhancing arc flash protection and implementing safety measures.
Following the success of the inaugural 2024 conference in New Zealand, this year’s event builds on that strong foundation to deliver even greater insights and opportunities for industry professionals. New for 2025 is expanded content on HV and LV earthing, along with a range of new local and international presenters.
This conference is tailored for engineers, technicians, and personnel involved in high-voltage systems, earthing, and arc flash safety across New Zealand’s utilities, mining, manufacturing, industrial, and oil and gas sectors.
The agenda includes design, installation, testing, maintenance, safety, standards, and regulations, offering attendees the opportunity to hear from industry experts, engage with speakers, and discuss specific challenges.
This conference provides a vital platform for professionals to consider technical solutions and industry trends, discuss evolving standards, and learn new techniques for managing high-voltage systems, earthing, and arc flash safety.
