Intersolar & Energy Storage North America Texas recap
Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (IESNA) is a premier US-based conference and trade show focused on solar, energy storage, EV charging infrastructure, and manufacturing. The flagship event takes place February 25-27, 2025, in San Diego, but IESNA is now branching into regional events — the first of which took place in Austin, Texas, last week, drawing rave reviews from attendees.
The inaugural edition of IESNA Texas brought together more than 600 solar, storage, EV infrastructure, and manufacturing professionals, along with state legislators, regulators, and policy makers.
“Our goal for IESNA Texas was to deliver Texas-specific insights and business opportunities to solar and storage professionals,” said Wes Doane, Vice President, Intersolar & Energy Storage North America. “It was gratifying to see connections being made that will help accelerate the clean energy industry in Texas and beyond.”
If you’re feeling some FOMO, jot November 18-19, 2025, on your calendar and book a trip to the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, for next year’s IESNA Texas. More details on that below. You could also checkout IESNA Midwest (the Intersolar group acquired the Midwest Solar Expo), which is coming soon.
