Project Solar is Coming to Grand Designs Live – And You’re Invited for FREE
Grand ideas. Smarter energy. And free tickets on us.
We’re heading to Grand Designs Live at the NEC Birmingham from 2nd to 4th October 2026, and this year we’re doing more than just showing up.
We’re proud to be the official solar, battery and EV sponsor of the Grand House – one of the most talked-about features at one of the UK’s biggest home design and renovation events. And because we’re an official sponsor, we’ve got a free ticket allocation to share with our customers and community.
So if you’ve ever wanted to see what solar, battery storage and EV charging could look like in a real home – this is your chance. And it won’t cost you a penny.
Come and Meet the Project Solar Team
Whether you’ve been thinking about solar for a while, you’re wondering whether a battery storage system could work for your home, or you simply want to understand what all this home energy stuff actually means – come and have a chat with us.
Our team will be at the show across all three days, ready to answer your questions and talk through what solar could look like for your specific home. No jargon. No hard sell. Just honest conversations about solar panels, battery storage, EV charging and smarter home energy.
Not sure if solar is right for you? That’s exactly the kind of question we love answering in person. Bring your roof photos, your energy bills, your questions – we’ll help you make sense of it all.
Find Us at the Grand House
We’re especially excited about our role as the Grand House solar, battery and EV sponsor. The Grand House is one of the standout features of Grand Designs Live – a full-scale showcase of what a beautifully designed, future-ready home can look like. And we’re bringing renewable technology right into the heart of it.
Because solar has come a long way from panels on a roof. Today, a properly designed home energy system works as one:
- Solar panels generate electricity from daylight
- Battery storage holds onto what you don’t use immediately
- EV charging puts that stored energy straight into your car
- Smart energy management ties it all together, so your home runs as efficiently as possible
Together, these technologies can dramatically reduce what you spend on energy — and give you a level of energy independence that simply wasn’t possible a few years ago. We’ll be bringing that whole picture to life at Grand Designs Live, in a setting that shows exactly how it fits into a real home.
Competitions, Giveaways and a Few Surprises
It wouldn’t be a live show without a few extras. Alongside meeting our team and getting personalised solar advice, here’s what you can expect on the day:
- Competitions and prizes – with some genuinely good stuff up for grabs
- Giveaways and Project Solar merch
- Interactive solar experiences – see the tech up close, not just on a brochure
- Tailored advice on solar panels, battery storage and EV charging for your home
- A few surprises we’re keeping under wraps for now
We’ll be sharing more announcements across our social channels as we get closer to the show, so keep an eye out. The closer we get to October, the more we’ll be revealing.
