In this session, we will explore the future of the solar industry and examine the positive impact that renewable energy and lower emissions have on the environment.

Topics of Discussion:

• How state and federal policies can either hinder or enhance the growth of the renewable solar energy market

• New technologies in solar panel manufacturing and battery storage

• How high energy sectors can leverage solar energy to their benefit

• Case studies of two municipalities engaged in solar initiatives:

  • Dayton: A 49 megawatt project spanning 250 acres, capable of meeting the energy needs of over 14,000 homes

  • Euclid: A rooftop solar array on City Hall installed several years ago, with insights into their future plans and the performance of the array over time

We will leave ample time for Q&A and open discussion.
