# Intersolar 2025: A Look at the Future of Solar and Energy Storage
The solar industry gathered in San Diego, California, for one of the most significant annual events in renewable energy—Intersolar and Energy Storage North America 2025. With more than 500 exhibitors and nearly 10,000 attendees, this conference highlighted the most pressing topics in solar and energy storage, from advanced technology to shifting policy landscapes.
## Uncertain Policy, But Continued Growth
A key discussion at the event revolved around the impact of recent political shifts on the solar industry. Experts at the conference addressed concerns about the potential reduction of incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has been instrumental in fueling solar development across the United States. The uncertainty surrounding tax credits and loan guarantees could slow down some projects, but industry leaders remain confident that solar remains a dominant force in the evolving energy market.
Despite challenges, the solar market continues to grow. Electrification trends—including the rise of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and increased data center electricity demand—mean that solar is more critical than ever. This demand signals that a solar array for home or commercial installations will remain attractive, even in the face of shifting regulations.
