Install teams from across North America are encouraged to apply for the fifth annual tournament.

SAN DIEGO and PORTLAND, Maine, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersolar North America and Energy Storage North America (ISNA/ESNA), the industry's flagship solar + storage event, is now accepting applications for the fifth-annual Solar Games competition to be held February 25-27, 2025 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.

During the Solar Games, teams are tasked with building residential solar + storage systems—including solar modules, racking, inverters, battery storage, and other components—live in a stadium setting within the exhibit hall. Their work is scored on a point system for quality, safety, speed, and other criteria. The winning team advances until the final-round winner is named Solar Games Champion—and awarded $10,000.

"To any installer that is hesitant to apply for the Solar Games, you only live once, and if you truly believe in your company, your team, and yourself, then you should apply," said Karl Hercula, Vice President Field Operations of Michigan Solar Solutions (2024 Solar Games Runner Up). "This is the best way to put the knowledge and skills that you've obtained throughout the years to the test."
