The Ultimate Guide to Energy Storage North America 2019 Exhibitors
Why the 2019 ESNA Still Matters for Industry Professionals
While browsing solar storage innovations at a recent tech meetup, I overheard an engineer joke: "Trying to find ESNA 2019 exhibitors is like hunting for a specific battery cell in Tesla's Gigafactory." This perfectly captures the challenge of tracking down historical trade show data. Let's crack open this industry time capsule together.
Key Players You Might Have Missed
The 2019 edition featured 217 exhibitors across three massive halls at the Long Beach Convention Center. Among the standouts:
- Tesla Energy - Showcased their then-new Powerpack 2.0
- Fluence - Demonstrated grid-scale storage solutions
- LG Chem - Previewed residential battery prototypes
Emerging Technologies That Shaped the Decade
The show floor buzzed with these groundbreaking innovations:
- Flow battery demonstrations outnumbered lithium-ion 3:1
- First public appearance of AI-driven energy management systems
- Modular storage solutions resembling LEGO blocks for utilities
Decoding the 2019 Exhibitor Landscape
Imagine walking past BYD's 40-foot solar tree installation while Siemens reps explained their virtual power plant concept - that was the ESNA 2019 experience. The exhibitor mix broke down as:
By Sector Representation
- Battery manufacturers: 38%
- Software/analytics: 22%
- Grid infrastructure: 18%
- Research institutions: 12%
- Startups: 10%
Geographic Distribution Surprises
Contrary to expectations:
- Asian companies occupied 25% of booth space
- European firms demonstrated novel thermal storage solutions
- California-based exhibitors dominated home storage innovations
Where Are They Now? Tracking 2019 Exhibitors' Progress
A recent DOE report reveals fascinating post-2019 trajectories:
Success Stories Worth Studying
- Stem Inc. - Increased AI-driven deployments by 300%
- ESS Inc. - Scaled iron flow battery production 10x
- Generac - Acquired 3 storage startups since 2019
Lessons From Market Exits
Of the 35 startups exhibiting in 2019:
- 12 secured Series B funding by 2022
- 7 were acquired by major energy players
- 16 pivoted to specialized storage niches
Recreating the 2019 Experience in the Digital Age
While we can't time-travel back to the convention center floor, current VR technology now offers:
- 3D virtual tours of historical exhibits
- AI-powered matchmaking with former attendees
- Digital twins of discontinued storage prototypes
Next time you're evaluating storage solutions, remember - many current industry standards first made waves at that pivotal 2019 event. The battery management system in your latest project? Its core algorithm might have debuted in a Long Beach demo booth six years ago.
