PNW OSSIA/WASEIA 2026

A discussion about the current and future state of residential energy management to include how Battery Energy Storage, Solar Power, EV Charging and Smart Panels with HEMS are supplied to the market and how they work with the resident and possibly the utility or 3 party energy partners.

This session provides an overview of commercial-scale ESS design: key questions to ask early, common pitfalls, and lessons learned from Mayfield Renewables' design engineering projects. Topics covered will include fire code requirements, grid isolation methods, and equipment selection best practices.

Join Mayfield Renewables engineering consultants for a one-hour walkthrough of how to properly plan and execute a microgrid feasibility study. These systems have much to consider during the planning phase beyond a typical grid-tied PV system, learn from trainers supporting technical feasibility studies for developers and end users alike. Topics covered will include determining project goals and constraints, energy and financial modeling, and the outputs of a feasibility study.

This session will explore the evolving landscape of Domestic Content requirements and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) compliance, and how these factors are increasingly shaping project financing and procurement decisions. As policy and incentives continue to drive demand for compliant products, understanding how Approved Vendor Lists (AVLs) are constructed—and how to influence them—has become critical for installers and developers alike.

This content is most relevant for residential installers transitioning into commercial markets, EPCs, project developers, and solar professionals responsible for procurement, finance, or project design. It is especially valuable for companies navigating new compliance requirements while trying to maintain competitiveness and profitability.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how Domestic Content impacts financing outcomes and why early engagement with finance partners is essential. They will learn how to advocate for broader AVL inclusion to avoid unnecessary project constraints. Additionally, the session will highlight practical pathways for residential installers to scale into commercial applications, including how integrated racking solutions can simplify design, improve installation efficiency, and support compliance goals.

By the end of the session, participants will be better equipped to align product selection, financing strategy, and compliance requirements—while identifying new opportunities to grow their business in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
