Forget pumpkin spice latte season — it’s solar conference season! In the space of six weeks, our global team has been to Vegas, Birmingham and Sydney, meeting hundreds of partners and thousands of Pros. And don’t get me wrong, these events are incredible opportunities to connect in person — as a remote-first company we truly relish the chance to come together with our colleagues and partners face-to-face. 

But let’s be honest: conferences are also exhausting, expensive, and, ultimately, just a moment in time. Once the lights go out and the stands come down, that energy can feel like it disappears until the next big event rolls around. 

So, what if you could retain your competitive edge and have instant access to the latest innovations, products, and services without taking time away from work and racking up some serious miles? Introducing Expo from OpenSolar — our always-on, global online conference, available 365 days a year.

Expo is designed to bring the industry to you, wherever you are. Instead of waiting months for the next big trade show, you can explore hundreds of services and thousands of products right from your OpenSolar account. Think of it like this: instead of lining up for badges, boarding trains and planes, you’re stepping into a virtual exhibition hall where every stand is open, all the time.

Fundamentally, we built Expo so it isn’t just something you visit once a year, but rather a tool you can integrate seamlessly into your daily workflow. Need to check a spec sheet mid-design? Curious about the latest inverter tech? Want to speak to someone from the team behind the products you’re using in your OS designs? Expo gives you direct access to manufacturers, distributors, and finance providers, exactly when you need it. It’s more than a library. More than a showroom. It’s a living, breathing solar ecosystem, evolving constantly with new stands, fresh content, and real-time engagement.

So whether you’re working late, designing early, or just curious about what’s new, Expo is ready when you are. What are you waiting for? Visit your local Expo.
