Solar Power International (SPI) is North America's largest, most comprehensive solar power trade show and conference. This annual, business-to-business event was the first of its kind in North America and grows bigger and better every year.

Nearly 24,000 professionals from 125+ countries attend. With one out of five attendees coming from outside the United States, SPI is truly a global event.

In 2011, over 1,200 companies from all vertical markets in the solar power spectrum will exhibit in a space of more than 1 million gross square feet.

Growing New Markets

SPI is presented by two non-profit organizations, SEIA and SEPA, whose mission is to advance and support the solar power industry and to promote the growth of U.S. solar markets. Fulfilling this commitment, SPI will take place outside of California for the first time in 2011. In Dallas, Texas, show participants will gain exposure to new products, service providers and professionals from a new horizon of the industry.
