The American Solar Energy Society (ASES) is proud to present SOLAR 2025, our annual National Solar Conference, under the theme “Innovation for Universal Renewable Energy Access” on August 4-6 in Boulder, Colorado. This year, we’re excited to return to a fully in-person format as we bring together thought leaders, researchers, industry professionals, advocates, and enthusiasts in a collaborative space to drive forward the renewable energy transition.
After several years of hybrid options, SOLAR 2025 offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect face-to-face, engage in dynamic discussions, and build relationships that spark meaningful change. Join us to explore cutting-edge innovations, address critical challenges, and share strategies to ensure renewable energy solutions reach all corners of the globe.
This immersive experience will feature inspiring keynote speakers, interactive panel discussions, technical sessions, hands-on workshops, and vibrant networking opportunities. Together, we’ll celebrate achievements, confront challenges, and chart the path toward a clean energy future that is equitable and sustainable for all.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Why Attend? The National Solar Conference is America’s leading conference on the emerging trends, technology, and opportunities shaping the new energy economy.The American Solar Energy Society’s cutting-edge conference series introduces attendees to the leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs moving the industry forward. With the solar energy and energy efficiency sectors changing at an unprecedented pace, this conference helps participants understand the changes and uncover the billion-dollar opportunities. ASES supports the global energy transformation and believes a world equitably transformed to 100% renewable energy is an urgent necessity.
Through the SOLAR 2025 ASES National Solar Conference, we will elevate public, institutional, and governmental awareness of the critical role solar energy is playing in the global energy landscape. We must ensure that access to and the benefits from clean energy will be enjoyed by all communities, especially those that have been denied those benefits in the past. SOLAR 2025 will promote ASES’ overall goal to “accelerate equitable solar adoption and universal sustainable living by educating and building community.” The conference will focus on research models, examples, and tools for negotiating the challenges to advancing renewables by following justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) principles.
