How SEIA and SEPA are Working for You
Industry leaders SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) and SEPA (Smart Electric Power Alliance) produce RE+ (formerly Solar Power International, Energy Storage International, and Smart Energy Week). All proceeds from the event go right back into the industry. What does this mean? It means registering for RE+ funds the year-round research and education provided by the two associations as well as SEIA’s advocacy efforts. Better yet, members of national SEIA and SEPA receive discounts to attend the largest solar and energy storage gathering in North America!
