The California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) has announced the lineup for Sun battle between the bands (SBOB), a semi-regular music competition with groups consisting of American solar workers.

The event returns to Moonshine Flats in San Diego on Thursday, February 19, following the second day of the Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (IESNA). SBOB is co-organized by CALSSA and IESNA and is an important fundraiser for CALSSA.
This year’s band lineup includes Rapid Shutdown, a new group Baker Home Energy, “Café Negro” by Avila Solar and Flywheel Renewables, The Lagging Indicators by New Leaf Energy and Northerner by SnapNrack & K2 Systems.
“This event has always brought the solar community together. We all come from so many different parts of the world in this industry and on this night we are all literally singing the same song. I can’t wait,” said Johan Alfsen of SnapNrack, who founded SBOB in 2011 while working at Quick Mount PV.
Doors to the event open at 7pm and performances end at midnight. SBOB is sponsored by Greentech Renewables, Aurora Solar, Lunar Energy, REC Americas, SnapNrack and Yotta Energy.
This year, tickets are available for free through event sponsors – not through the IESNA website. Stop by the sponsor booths at the fair to get a ticket.
