Intersolar North America is North America’s most attended solar show, which will take place July 10-12 in the Moscone Center (West Hall) in San Francisco. The event’s exhibition and conference focus on photovoltaics, PV production technologies, smart renewable energy and solar thermal technologies. There will be 450 exhibitors and an expected 16,000 attendees. Intersolar North America is the industry’s source for valuable information and premier networking opportunities.

This year’s sessions will highlight several key industry themes, such as Market and Policy, which includes policy changes and market outlooks. The Solar-plus-storage sessions will discuss unlocking financial value with technology, PV power plants—design, layout & operations, and more.

Electrical energy storage will feature sessions on the economic and technology trends shaping energy storage, and the future developments in lithium battery technology, including the recycling and reuse of lithium batteries.  

Electric vehicle charging technologies and Infrastructure will be discussed highlighting EV battery durability and the advances of high-voltage batteries, as well as EV battery costs.

Smart renewable energy will cover digitalization and cyber security, industrial micro and mini-grid concepts and technologies, and optimizing DERs on the grid.

There will be special programs for installers and contractors with presentations from the Intersolar AWARD finalists; and a new exhibitor installation workshop offered in cooperation with NABCEP.

The California Solar & Storage Association's Contractor Day, in partnership with lntersolar North America, is offering an all-day event intended particularly for the sales and installation teams of residential and commercial solar and storage installers. Important information from industry experts that impact contractors regarding the latest on energy storage, smart inverters, permitting, and rates will be covered.
