SEIA’s Virtual Solar & Storage Codes & Standards Symposium provides an industry-wide, in-depth review of the market requirements and regulations that impact solar and storage installations.  During these virtual sessions, you’ll learn what’s on the horizon for the next generation of solar and storage codes and standards, shaping the future of regulations.

SEIA and the respected experts from the industry, Authorities Having Jurisdictions, testing laboratories, certification organizations, and market development will provide insights into a wide range of areas affecting product design, market rules and regulations, and engineering discipline approaches.

These topics include new and upcoming changes to solar and storage-related codes and standards. The areas covered will include:

Building, fire, energy conservation, and structural codes
Electrical codes and energy storage standards
Equipment product safety, testing, and certification standards
Installation and technician training standards
Traceability and consumer protection standards
Power generation and resilience
Interconnection
Cybersecurity
Virtual power plants and microgrids

As designers, engineers, marketers, and policy professionals, staying informed of these developments is critical to giving your company a competitive advantage in a crowded marketplace. If you are in solar and storage research & development, design, engineering, product safety and testing, installation, business development, or marketing, an Authority Having Jurisdiction or government professional or anyone whose responsibilities are affected by the changing nature of codes and standards, this symposium is for you!
