After a few years with no in-person gatherings during the pandemic, solar and storage conferences have been slowly coming back in 2023 and certainly now in full force in 2024. Conferences are great because not only do they support professional development by providing top notch educational sessions including the latest industry insights, technological advancements, and strategic visions to get more renewable energy on our electrical grid, they also have the unique opportunity for networking and building partnerships across the rapidly growing solar and storage industries.
