Countdown to RE+ 2025: How This Convention Shapes Our Work in Solar
September 8–11, 2025 | Las Vegas, NV
This September, Viva Energy is heading to Las Vegas for RE+ 2025—the largest clean energy event in North America. It’s more than a trade show. It’s a place where innovators, installers, manufacturers, policy experts, and advocates come together to shape the future of clean energy.
With the solar landscape evolving rapidly in California, staying ahead of the curve isn’t optional—it’s essential. Here’s why we’re going, what we’re focusing on, and how it all connects back to the work we do every day on the Central Coast.
What Is RE+?
RE+ (formerly Solar Power International) is the premier annual event for clean energy professionals, hosted by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA). Over 1,300 exhibitors and 40,000+ attendees will gather to explore advancements in solar, storage, EV infrastructure, microgrids, and more.
It’s where the industry’s biggest conversations happen—and where the next generation of solutions begins.
Why We’re Going
1. To Scout New Tech
We’ll be meeting with manufacturers, checking out new panel and battery technologies, and exploring installation tools that improve efficiency and reliability. The goal? To bring back options that make solar even smarter for California homes.
2. To Stay Policy-Savvy
With net metering, grid limitations, and permitting rules in constant flux, we’ll be listening in on the policy discussions that affect every solar project we install. What happens nationally often makes its way to California next.
3. To Connect and Collaborate
RE+ is also about relationships—sharing best practices, meeting like-minded companies, and learning from others focused on energy equity and sustainability. These conversations shape how we grow and how we serve.
Why It Matters for Our Customers
Attending RE+ isn’t just about staying informed. It’s about bringing that knowledge home.
We install smarter. From panel selection to battery sizing, we’ll be applying what we learn to make sure every system we build is ready for the future.
We explain better. When policies shift or programs change, we can keep our customers in the loop—with clarity.
We stay accessible. If we see new financing trends or incentive models that improve affordability, you’ll be the first to know.
Follow Along With Us
