Solar solutions take shape at Solar Power International (SPI). This year, North America’s largest, most comprehensive solar power trade show and conference opens up exciting, new opportunities in the emerging market of Dallas, Texas, the U.S.A.
Widely regarded as the can’t-miss event for the solar industry, SPI draws nearly 24,000 professionals from 125+ countries. Almost 20% come to this global event from outside the U.S. Attendees include manufacturers, installers and contractors, distributors, engineering firms, utilities, government representatives and policy makers, investors and financiers, architects, builders and developers--anyone who needs to stay on top of the latest developments in solar energy. 
Over 1,100 companies representing the entire solar industry spectrum exhibit on more than 800,000 square feet of show floor space. Exhibits highlight the latest in PV cells and modules; balance of systems; material and equipment suppliers; distributors; integrators; installers and solar service providers; thermal solar technologies; Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and solar thermal electric and concentrating PV (CPV); publications; and an additional array of products and services.
In Dallas, SPI delivers on its mission to advance and support the solar power industry and to promote the growth of new U.S. solar markets. According to the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), Texas ranks first in the United States in its solar resource potential. With its abundant sunshine and solar-incentivizing legislation in the works, Texas is poised to rocket up from a current ranking at #10 in PV installations to #1 or #2 in the next five years.
Now, before the boom, is the time to make connections in Texas and throughout the solar industry. Build your network face to face and efficiently in SPI’s general sessions, conference sessions, receptions and business partnering appointments--or as you explore the dynamic exhibit floor.
SPI is presented by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA), two nonprofit organizations who support and promote the solar industry through advocacy and education.
