Solarplaza Summit | Asset Management North America

North America’s leading conference on optimizing solar asset management and operations

Asset management strategy | Solar O&M best practices | BESS asset management

The 12th 'Solarplaza Summit Asset Management North America' will once again provide an essential platform for knowledge exchange and networking in the American solar asset management space. The long-standing conference brings together key players, market insights, and networking opportunities over the course of two action-packed days in San Diego. As we've outstretched the limits of the venue of the last three editions, we're excited to announce a move to a larger venue, which will allow for further expansion of the event. 

The PV & energy storage industries are challenged by rising energy prices, supply chain constraints, security risks, and political uncertainty. This event is vital to understanding the complexities of asset management and the necessity of maximizing operational efficiency.

Join us to explore critical topics, including solar asset performance, hybrid integration, revenue strategies, and more! Secure your place among the leaders powering North America’s renewable energy future.


The Industry Advisory Board empowering the event

The combined wealth of knowledge, years of experience, and high-level network of our expert advisory board members help shape our program and enhance our event. Their involvement guarantees the practical and inspirational relevance of our event in the dynamic and ever-evolving solar landscape.
