SOLAR 2026 will be held in partnership with the Texas Solar Energy Society (TXSES) during its landmark 50th anniversary year.
The conference brings the solar community together to accelerate the adoption of solar energy as the solution for providing our buildings, homes, and communities with clean, locally-produced energy, and for making our energy infrastructure more resilient and reliable, under rapidly-growing energy demand. Centered on the theme, Solar for All, Y’all, we welcome all participants from all over the country and around the world who are interested in learning more and contributing to the clean energy revolution.
“Celebrating 50 years of the Texas Solar Energy Society during a national gathering like SOLAR 2026 is a tremendous milestone for our state and our community. Texas has long been a leader in solar innovation and adoption, and we are honored to welcome renewable energy professionals, students, and advocates from across the country to Austin. This anniversary highlights our continued commitment to expanding clean, resilient, and accessible solar energy for all Texans,” said TXSES Executive Director Patrice “Pete” Parsons.
