RE+ Showcase: What to see at the tradeshow in Anaheim

By SB Staff September 3, 2024

North America’s largest solar and energy storage tradeshow, RE+ 2024, is almost here! From Sept. 9 to 12, roughly 40,000 solar pros will descend on the Anaheim Convention Center.

What to see? Where to begin? To help you navigate your trip, we sent a call out to manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers to see what they’ll be promoting (and pouring!) at their booth for this RE+ Preview Showcase. Scroll this massive page to see what they told us.

But before you hit these booths, what questions should you be asking? That’s what we asked Travis Walker, director of business development at BayWa r.e., on the most recent episode of Power Forward! Here was his advice …

Walker: I think it is really important for people to look out for: Is this a product that you’re just showing for RE+, or is it ready to go? A lot of times people will bring prototypes there. Before you start locking yourselves in, ask some really in-depth questions around availability.

Understanding domestic content and everything that goes around that. I know that’s going to be a hot topic specifically with TPO providers. Ask the appropriate questions to understand how this is going to help you, if that’s something that you’re interested in this year.
Also, how does their product pair with other big brands on the market? How do they interact with some of the things that you’re already installing? They should be able to talk about that in detail. If they can’t give you specifics, I would be a little concerned.

Another big thing you should look out for is warranties. We have got to be better from a customer service perspective, from a product service perspective. We have got to provide homeowners with a better overall customer service experience. So, knowing that the product is covered under warranty for X number of years is great.
Also look at who that warranty is backed by. What type of company are they? Who are they being financed by — a bigger, larger company, or is it a small fly by night company? Understand those things before you attach your customer service to that product.”

OK. You’re ready now. Companies are listed alphabetical order (our apologies, Vermeer).
