pv magazine USA is hosting the second edition of its multi-day virtual event, focused on advancing the U.S. solar and energy storage markets in the aftermath of the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in summer 2025. At this year’s pv magazine USA Week, industry experts discuss the impact of the OBBBA on residential, C&I, and utility-scale projects and the scaling-up of domestic manufacturing.

Each day delves deeply into a key topic, including unlocking capital for solar projects, navigating the evolving domestic supply chain, and harnessing the potential of distributed energy to build a more resilient grid.

DISTRIBUTED ENERGY AS A SOLUTION

Distributed energy, including rooftop solar and energy storage, offers many solutions to myriad problems. It offers resilience from power outages and extreme weather. It offers ratepayers clarity on electricity costs for the next 25+ years. It can also be built quickly, avoiding issues with interconnection queues. Speakers on Day 3 will explore how distributed energy is overcoming these challenges with innovative solutions.
