In a joint statement, SNEC China, NürnbergMesse Brasil, and Oakstream announced that, despite their strong belief in the Latin American solar market, current conditions are not considered ideal for holding the event at this time.

Strategic decision amid market conditions

According to the organizers, the decision follows a careful assessment of the market environment and industry dynamics. They emphasized that the cancellation does not reflect a lack of confidence in the region, but rather a strategic move aligned with present market realities.

“We strongly believe in the long-term potential of the solar energy market in Latin America, but at this moment the conditions are not favorable for delivering the event at the level it requires,” the statement said.

Future editions under evaluation

SNEC China and its Brazilian partners reaffirmed their confidence in the structural growth of the solar and energy storage sectors in the region and stated that new opportunities to bring the event back to Brazil will be evaluatedonce market conditions improve.

Brazil remains a strategic market within the group’s global vision, particularly due to the expansion of utility-scale solar, distributed generation, energy storage solutions, and the growing integration with electric mobility.

Guidance for exhibitors and partners

Exhibitors, conference delegates, sponsors, and other partners who have already completed registrations or initiated commercial agreements will be contacted directly by the organizers. The communication will include guidance on operational procedures, reimbursements, and next steps.

Industry impact

The cancellation of SNEC PV & ES LATAM 2026 comes at a time of adjustment and consolidation within Brazil’s solar market, marked by regulatory challenges, margin pressure, and a more cautious approach to investments and large-scale events.

Despite this, industry analysts consulted by EnergyChannel highlight that Brazil and Latin America continue to show solid long-term fundamentals, especially in distributed solar, large-scale projects, energy storage, and grid modernization.

SNEC China, NürnbergMesse Brasil, and Oakstream thanked institutional partners, industry stakeholders, and the wider market for their support and understanding.

🔔 EnergyChannel will continue to monitor developments and provide updates on any future announcements regarding SNEC’s return to Latin America.
