SPI 2011 headed for Dallas
SPI is the largest B2B conference and trade show in North America for the solar energy industry and was recently recognized by Tradeshow Week as one of the Top 50 fastest growing trade shows in the country. The 2009 conference had more than 25,000 attendees.
"We are excited to take Solar Power International 2011 to Dallas," said Brian Tully, SETS Executive Director. "Texas is the energy hub in this country and an emerging market for solar power. SPI and the Lone Star State are a perfect fit for one another. We look forward to highlighting this important market and building upon SPI's previous successes in being the premier solar event in the United States."
Solar Power International has posted record growth for the last 5 years, mirroring the exponential growth of the U.S. solar market.
Formed in October 2009, SETS is a collaboration between the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA), the national trade groups that have co-hosted this event since 2004.

The event was adopted in B.C. the next year and, as part of that, BC Hydro began tracking the megawatt hours saved.
