The California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) unveiled a new series of virtual events called the Product Expo Series. Solar and storage expos in 2020 are a giant question mark, yet they remain an important way for the industry to connect, learn about new products and technologies, and get questions answered. CALSSA’s Product Expo Series is meant to solve this problem by mimicking the conversations you’d have on the trade show floor without leaving your desk. The series is designed to give attendees exposure to each company’s latest and greatest in a short period of time while keeping the experience simple, no-nonsense, affordable and accessible.

Each hour and a half virtual event will focus on one market segment and feature up to ten companies for a rapid response Q+A with industry experts Brad Heavner of CALSSA, Jennifer Alfsen of Mayfield Renewables and Jeff Spies of Planet Plan Sets. Market segments covered are: modules, inverters, energy storage and racking & mounting. After each event, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions in private chat rooms for each company. The series is free for CALSSA members and $50 per event for non-members.
