Why PV ModuleTech USA?
The conference gathers together developers, independent power producers and module suppliers to the U.S. solar market as well as EPCs, banks, investors, technical advisory and testing & certification specialists. The inaugural conference sold out last year, so do add this one to your diary for 2023!
With the U.S. solar industry facing numerous supply challenges during a period of increased demand for solar, module supplier selection has become increasingly difficult. This event will address the module landscape that is expected to unfold for U.S. buyers in the coming years; in particular new domestic manufacturing. Special attention will be given to the module offerings, full value-chain traceability and the financial health of the companies currently supplying the market. Additionally, modules are changing in size and technology, with n-type wafers becoming more prevalent. The PV ModuleTech event in Napa, California in June 2023 will help attendees to navigate this new landscape for U.S. buyers in the coming years. Use the button below to view the outline agenda, the full agenda will be published in early March 2023.
We look forward to welcoming you!

We have attended many of the biggest industry events but to have access to the biggest module manufacturers and hear about their latest technologies, factories, and initiatives in an intimate setting was incredibly valuable. It made real conversations possible without the impersonal nature of a large trade show and was a good step forward for our business.
