Solar Energy Industries Association Names Darren Van’t Hof as Interim President and CEO

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today the Solar Energy Industries Association’s (SEIA) board of directors named Darren Van’t Hof as the association’s interim president and CEO, effective January 20, 2026.

Van’t Hof currently serves as SEIA board chair and brings more than two decades of leadership experience in clean energy, including senior roles at U.S. Bank and Oakland Capital Solutions. Van’t Hof will leave his role as board chair and step into the interim president and CEO role to guide SEIA through this period of transition as it continues advocating on behalf of America’s $70 billion dollar solar and storage industry.

“Darren is the right choice to serve as interim CEO because he brings continuity, consistency, and a deep understanding of SEIA’s work,” said Elizabeth Reicherts, global head of government affairs for SolarEdge Technologies and the chair of SEIA’s executive search committee. “Darren is a trusted leader, and we’re confident his steady hand will ensure SEIA continues to deliver strong advocacy and meaningful progress for its members.”

SEIA’s board of directors is conducting a national executive search process while Van’t Hof oversees day-to-day operations and drives key strategic advocacy initiatives.
