ESI and ESNA Announce Co-Located Conference to Debut in San Diego, March 27

ESNA Solar+Storage Summit Powered by Strategen and ESI will
feature a unique hands-on program designed for the solar installer and
integrator community

ALEXANDRIA, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Energy Storage International (ESI) and Energy Storage North America
(ESNA) today announced a partnership that will bring the ESNA
Solar+Storage Summit, Powered by Strategen and ESI to the California
Solar Power Expo in San Diego, CA on March 27, 2018.

The ESNA Solar+Storage Summit, Powered by Strategen and ESI is a
one-day, hands-on deep dive into market opportunities for solar and
storage in California. Produced jointly by the experts on grid storage
and solar, ESI and Strategen, it is the first program of its kind
specifically targeted toward the solar installer and integrator
community.

“With the new storage subsidies in California, the addition of this
summit to the California Solar Power Expo will allow solar installers
and integrators the ability to learn how to make the business case for
energy storage,” said Stephen Miner, President and CEO Solar Energy
Trade Shows.

California Public Utilities Commissioner Carla Peterman – the assigned
commissioner for renewables, storage and alternative-fueled vehicles –
is slated to address the role of solar and storage for California’s
clean energy future during the summit. Other hot topics include: global
energy storage trends, the impact to both in-front-of-the-meter and
behind-the-meter solar value propositions, and sales, system design,
procurement and asset management perspectives on how installers and
integrators can incorporate storage into future solar projects.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the California Solar Power Expo on
this inaugural event. The focus and format of the Solar+Storage Summit
allows us to explore market developments and opportunities for
solar+storage that will not only inform, but will also inspire action,
new connections and accelerated progress for clean energy,” said Janice
Lin, ESNA Expo, LLC Co-Founder and Conference Chair.
