In 2011, the solar industry once again reduced costs and grew globally faster than predicted by stock analysts.  With over 10% of global electricity coming from burning high cost diesel fuel and 20% of global electricty markets paying over $0.20/kWh - the solar industry still has a $10 Trillion market available to it without subsidies.

This is our moment!

Please join SolarTech in conjunction with State, National and Federal partners to collaborate over two days with industry leaders to address fundamental best practices core to accelerating the solar industry’s long term place in the U.S. energy mix through the Solar3.0 Platform.

The Solar Foundation is a co-planner for this event and will co-host a session at the summit. We hope to see you there!
