WHY SOLAR?   

There has been a great deal of discussion recently about decarbonization and electrification. We can't forget the part renewable energy will play. Solar is a clean, renewable energy source.  It's also scalable - able to power a single home or expand to an industrial scale.  In this session we will explore commercial, residential, and community based solar installations.  We will review the advancements in solar technology, financial incentives, the economics of solar power, and how the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act will impact solar markets.  Our speakers will share a few case studies to highlight the process, benefits, and installation details. We will also present the undeniable benefits solar provides relative to air quality and reduced health risks. You'll come away from this session armed with information for your personal use and to help your business achieve its energy goals.
