11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PDT
Location: Titian 2303, Level 2, The Venetian
Solar Storage

Learning Level: 201: Applies to those with some experience who are looking to build on or enhance existing knowledge.
Massive grid disruptions caused by extreme weather events, paired with rising electricity prices are pushing U.S. consumers to seek residential solar solutions that provide energy security. As environmental and policy factors continue to drive demand to new levels, it is imperative that we maximize interconnectivity and integration so these technologies can work together to drive down emissions and create a resilient grid. In this session, panelists will discuss how residential solar plus battery storage solutions are evolving to facilitate total home electrification and self-sufficiency, including new technologies, installer trends, accompanying utility grid service programs, and supply chain barriers and opportunities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the increasing demand for residential solar solutions driven by grid disruptions, extreme weather events, and rising electricity prices. Explore the motivations behind consumers' desire for energy security and resilience.
  • Gain insights into the evolving landscape of residential solar plus battery storage solutions and their role in facilitating total home electrification and self-sufficiency. Explore new technologies and trends in installation practices to maximize interconnectivity and integration for a more resilient grid.
  • Explore the utility grid service programs and initiatives that accompany residential solar plus battery storage solutions. Understand the benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies into the existing grid infrastructure and the potential for emissions reduction. Discuss supply chain barriers and opportunities in the deployment of residential solar and battery storage systems.
