AEE Solar will be represented in a major way this week at the burgeoning Solar Power International (SPI) trade show and conference in Anaheim, CA. This is the industries largest North American solar trade show, and it promises to be a record setting event.
Two of the conference presentations at SPI feature David Katz – AEE Founder and CTO and Jeff Spies – AEE Solar Director of Training and NABCEP Board Member.
David Katz (AEE’s Founder and Chief Technological Officer) will draw from decades of experience in what is guaranteed to be more than just an educational experience to profile the history of microinverters and the future development of this exciting technology. For those interested in attending, look for the panel discussion group titled “Innovations in Inverters and System Controllers” in Room 304 on Wednesday 10/28 at 3:30-5:00pm.
Jeff Spies (AEE Director of Training and NABCEP Board Member) will deliver an increasingly important message concerning the impact of standardization on PV installation costs. For those interested in attending, look for the panel discussion group titled “Installation Standards: Benefits of Quality & Consistency” in Room 207 also on Wednesday 10/28 at 3:30-5:00pm.
As you would expect, AEE Solar’s booth will showcase the latest PV industry technology including inverters from SMA, Fronius, KACO, PV Powered, Xantrex, and Enphase. We will have a number of new modules including the new REC Solar AE series black frame module, SolarWorld, Evergreen, Schott, and several new off-grid modules. Off-grid products include charge controllers from Xantrex, OutBack Power, Apollo Solar, and Midnite Solar. Batteries from Rolls/Surrette, Trojan, and MK, and cool tools including the Solmetric Suneye, and the Rennsteig cable crimper, as well as a Southwest Windpower Skystream wind generator. We will also be debuting the exciting new Tigo Energy Maximizer that works with all string inverters to mitigate the effects of shade in arrays, providing mppt tracking for every module in the string to extract 10% more power from an array, and module level production monitoring. Our booth promises to be one of the hardware highlights of the show.
Not to be missed on Wednesday evening is the “Bet on Black” Casino Party reserved exclusively for AEE Solar dealers at 7pm – 10pm at the Annabella Hotel on Katella next to the convention center. REC Group and AEE Solar have created this event to celebrate the launch of the new REC black AE-series modules. AEE Dealers can RSVP to betonblack@starfish-events.com or call 310-803-9286 x 101. There will be food, drink, plenty of fun, and prizes include a $500 Visa Gift Card, $300 Best Buy Gift Card, and a $200 Home Depot Gift Card. We hope to see ALL the AEE Solar dealers at this fun event!
Have a great solar week and if you’re in Anaheim, please come to check out our always fun and educational booth in location #707.
