Solar Power International (SPI), previously called Solar Power Conference and Expo, was created in 2004 when the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) joined together in partnership to fill an obvious void: North America was missing a business-to-business solar conference and expo.
With an industry growth rate of more than 40% per year, there was a need for a single event where industry could come together with potential customers, policymakers, investors, and other parties necessary for continued rapid growth. It didn’t take long for the event to establish itself as the premiere solar event in the US, growing from 1,100 attendees to over 24,000 in just six years!
Like the number of event attendees, the number of exhibitors has increased significantly over the years as well. More than 1,000 companies will exhibit at SPI 10, including cell and module manufacturers, inverter and other component manufacturers, material and equipment manufacturers, installers, integrators and investors.
