The Solar Games is the industry’s first installer competition, tasking teams with building residential solar + storage systems live in the Intersolar & Energy Storage North America expo hall.
The competition takes place over the course of three days:
- Six teams take part in Round 1 on day 1.
- The top four scoring teams in Round 1 advance to the Semi-Finals on day 2.
- The top two scoring teams in the Semi-Finals advance to the Championship Round on day 3.
Competing teams are judged on installation quality, safety, speed, and more as they advance through the tournament. The winning team takes home $10,000—and the title of Solar Games Champion.
