Solar Power International is a solar power conference created in 2004, for show-casing new technology, when the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) merged to organize an annual event bringing together companies and professionals from the solar industry. In 2008 it was touted as the largest solar power conference in North America.[1] Previously called Solar Power Conference and Expo, it consists of two main elements: an exhibition hall where companies have booths to promote their products and services; and conference sessions where panels of solar industry experts share ideas and success stories.[2] The 2018 event included hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.[3] The 2019 conference was held in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 23–26.[4]
