Solar calendar
9 dates ahead — 4 that change what a Northern California homeowner pays, plus the industry’s conferences. Dates are as published; always confirm on the official site.
PG&E summer rates begin
Summer pricing runs June 1 – Sept 30, and the 4–9 pm peak is the priciest power of the year. This is when a battery earns most of its keep.
Wildfire & PSPS season
Roughly June through November, PG&E may cut power during hot, windy weather. Panels alone shut off in an outage — only a battery keeps the house running.
CALSSA member webinar
California Solar & Storage Association sessions on state policy and the contractor market.
PG&E winter rates begin
Winter pricing runs Oct 1 – May 31. Peak rates ease, but shorter days mean less production — expect your lowest output months now.
CALSSA member webinar
The last CALSSA webinar of the year, ahead of the January rule changes.
RE+ 2026
North America’s largest clean-energy show, run by SEIA and SEPA — where next year’s panels, inverters and batteries are launched.
Winter solstice — your lowest output
The shortest day of the year. If December production looks alarming, this is why — output climbs back through spring and peaks in summer.
Intersolar & Energy Storage North America
The big California show: PV, storage and EV charging, plus policy sessions that bear directly on NEM 3.0 and SGIP.
Intersolar Europe / The smarter E
Europe’s largest energy exhibition — 2,000+ exhibitors. Where technology that reaches US rooftops a year or two later shows up first.
