Solar Canada Annual Conference and Exhibition
Canada's largest and most important solar energy event bringing together industry professionals, stakeholders and advocates. The conference focuses on Canada's changing energy markets, revolutionary technologies, and networking opportunities for solar innovators.
The Solar Canada Annual Conference and Exhibition represents the premier gathering for Canada's solar energy sector, featuring comprehensive programming designed for industry professionals at all levels. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into Canada's rapidly evolving energy markets and policy landscape, with particular emphasis on the transformative shift toward cost-competitive solar power. The event showcases cutting-edge research and revolutionary technologies that are reshaping the renewable energy sector, providing participants with early access to innovations that could define the industry's future. High-profile speakers include Federal Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi and Rabia Ferroukhi from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), offering attendees access to key policy makers and international experts. The comprehensive expo hall brings together the entire solar industry supply chain, from manufacturers and installers to financiers and technology providers, creating unparalleled networking opportunities. Special features include educational sessions, detailed case studies, a dedicated startup showcase section, and even electric vehicle displays, reflecting the broader clean technology ecosystem. The timing and location in Calgary is particularly significant given Alberta's achievement of record-low solar contracting prices below five cents per kilowatt-hour, making this event essential for understanding how utility-scale solar has become cost-competitive with natural gas and what this means for Canada's energy future.
