PORTLAND, Maine: Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (ISNA/ESNA), the industry’s flagship solar + storage event, is now accepting applications for the fourth-annual Solar Games competition to be held January 17-19, 2024 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
A bracket-style tournament, the Solar Games tasks teams with building residential solar + storage systems—including solar modules, racking, inverters, battery storage and other components—live in the ISNA/ESNA exhibit hall. Their work is scored on a point system for quality, safety, and other criteria; the winning team advances until the final-round winner is named Solar Games Champion—and awarded $10,000.
“Fierce but friendly competition among talented installer teams make the Solar Games a highly anticipated part of ISNA/ESNA,” said Wes Doane, Vice President, Intersolar & Energy Storage North America. “We love this competition and look forward to seeing new companies showcase their skills in pursuit of the top prize and championship title.”
