The NABCEP CE Conference is the ultimate conference to connect with technical solar experts. NABCEP has been the gold standard in the industry for over 20 years.

Despite the U.S. solar industry employing over 279,000 people, the community feels surprisingly small. If you make a habit of attending the NABCEP CE Conference, you will likely see some folks again and again. Building a strong solar network can pay dividends over time, especially when you are in the market for new job opportunities. Your network can help you get a foot in the door.
