FEATURED EVENT

SOLAR 2013

About the Conference

On April 16-20, 2013, the American Solar Energy Society’s National Solar Conference will convene in Baltimore, near the most vibrant markets for renewable energy in the Eastern United States. Join researchers from across the U.S. and around the world who have submitted abstracts on renewable energy technologies.

 

SOLAR 2013 will examine how mainstream renewable energy technologies are saving money today for small and large businesses, homeowners and utility companies. We’ll look at policy initiatives that can streamline permitting and financing for large and small projects, and explore the road forward as renewable installations double annually. SOLAR 2013 is the best opportunity all year for investors, businesses, policy analysts and other renewable energy researchers to exchange ideas and explore new concepts.
