SunSpec 2020 Annual Member Meeting – December 8th, 2020 — Attendees of this year’s Annual Member Meeting gained an in-depth understanding of SunSpec’s successes, challenges, and goals to come, including a preview of the exciting developments around SunSpec standards being encoded into national standards, which will lead to a massive influx of SunSpec Certified interfaces in 2021.

As a highlight of the event, Tom Tansy, Chairman of SunSpec Alliance, awarded nine recipients the SunSpec Open Standards Champion Award.
