About This Show
AI-drafted summaryRE+ Southeast is a two-day regional clean energy trade show and conference held in Atlanta, Georgia, focused on the solar and energy storage markets across the Southeastern United States. Produced by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), the event pairs an exhibition floor with an education program and structured networking. Attendees hear from regional and national leaders on policy, market trends, technology, and business strategy shaping the Southeast's fast-growing clean energy sector.
The show draws professionals who are already doing business in the region or looking to expand there, including buyers, suppliers, distributors, developers, installers, and consultants. Programming centers on in-depth, forward-looking discussions of the policy, regulatory, and technical topics facing the industry in the Southeast.
It is worth attending because the Southeast is one of the nation's strongest solar markets — Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia are all top-10 solar states — and RE+ Southeast concentrates that regional opportunity into two focused days. As a bonus, all proceeds fund SEIA and SEPA's year-round research, education, and advocacy work, so registration reinvests directly into the industry.
Show Highlights
- Two days of exhibition featuring regional and national clean energy companies
- A robust education schedule covering policy, regulatory, and technical topics specific to the Southeast
- Dedicated focus areas for solar and energy storage
- Multiple networking opportunities to connect with industry buyers, suppliers, distributors, and consultants
- Insights from visionary leaders on the future of the Southeast clean energy market
- Produced by industry associations SEIA and SEPA, with member registration discounts available

According to the show's Attend page, the 2025 edition drew approximately 1,000 attendees and 65 exhibitors, with an audience drawn from across the Southeastern U.S. The organizer notes that the region supplies roughly 22,000 solar workers across North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee. Promotional materials for the upcoming event cite 85+ participating regional and national companies and 1,000+ clean energy professionals.
