For more than four and half decades, ASES has organized and delivered the National Solar Conference. What began as an idea to bring the industry’s brightest together to drive progress and re-imagine the energy economy of the future, continues today as a unique blending of science, business, policy and industry.

While it is now one of many annual conferences in the field, today the National Solar Conference remains unique in its delivery of cutting-edge research, trends and analysis, the likes of which continue to affect the solar energy landscape in the U.S.

Participants in the National Solar Conference represent a broad base of solar and renewable energy professionals and thought leaders–researchers, architects, engineers, entrepreneurs, installers, manufacturers, businesses, economists, finance professionals and policy makers.

Attendees look to ASES conferences to provide a community for the exchange of ideas, information and business insights and unbiased perspectives on progress toward greater sustainability.  They value the high concentration of thought leaders in an intimately structured setting, and the opportunities to cross paths and affect change. Annually, our conference includes:

    Technical sessions
    Forum discussions
    Plenary panels
    Workshops
    Fast-paced switch presentations
    Various networking events
    Awards celebration including recognition of women in solar energy
    Presentation/speaking opportunities (submissions/proposals due early each year)
