From “City of a Thousand Trades” to a Hub of Clean Energy
Birmingham is no ordinary city. With over 1.1 million residents and nearly 3 million across its wider metropolitan area, it is the UK's second-largest city after London. Long nicknamed the “City of a Thousand Trades”, Birmingham was once the beating heart of Britain's metalworking and manufacturing industries. Here, weapons, watches, steam engines, and jewelry poured out of its factories - goods so reliable that “Made in Birmingham” became shorthand for quality.
Fast forward, and the grey smoke of the Industrial Revolution has given way to a new skyline of glass towers, vibrant cultural quarters, and modern services. Yet the spirit of innovation remains. From narrowboat canals (rumored to outnumber Venice) to world-class universities, from its diverse communities to global music heritage (home to Black Sabbath, Duran Duran, and UB40), Birmingham has always been a city that reinvents itself.
And now, its next transformation is underway: becoming a hub for sustainable energy.
Solar & Storage Live 2025 - Where the Future Connects
From 23–25 September, Birmingham's NEC will host Solar & Storage Live UK 2025, the nation's largest clean energy event. More than 20,000 professionals, 500+ exhibitors, and hundreds of speakers will gather to showcase solutions shaping the UK's solar, storage, and smart energy future.
For us, as one of the world's largest inverter manufacturers, this event feels like coming home to a city that understands transformation. Inverters are the silent enablers of the clean energy era - turning raw sunlight into usable power, stabilizing storage, and keeping grids resilient. Just as Birmingham once translated iron and coal into global progress, our technology translates solar potential into real-world energy security.
That's why we're excited to bring our latest innovations to Birmingham: products designed to match the scale of today's challenges and the diversity of tomorrow's opportunities. From utility-scale projects to family homes, our portfolio reflects the same versatility and forward vision that has always defined this city.
