About Solar Power 2007

Event History The 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: t
he US 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, achieving an attendance growth rate of more than 600 percent in just 4 years!

Who Exhibits?

Like the number of event attendees, the number of exhibitors has increased significantly over the years as well. Over 175 companies will exhibit in 2007, including cell and module manufacturers, inverter and other component manufacturers, material and equipment manufacturers, installers, integrators, and investors. A list of the confirmed companies is available on the Exhibitor List page.

Who Attends?

The Solar Power Conference and Expo attracts a wide range of participants both from inside and outside the industry. 35% of registered attendees hold CEO, president or other executive management positions. 77% of registered attendees recommend or make final decisions about their company's purchase of products.
