About this Event
It’s always sunny in Chester County! On-site solar energy for big energy users can save money and help meet sustainability goals. With ample incentives available, 2023/24 is a great time to get the ball rolling on evaluating solar and energy storage options.

At the Solar Adopters Conference attendees will learn about how corporations, office and education campuses, agricultural producers and shopping centers can take advantage of the latest technology, available incentives, RFP guidance, and support from local governments and the electric utility to realize energy price stability, carbon emissions reduction and long-term cost benefits.

Who Should Attend
Business owners/managers, facility managers, and sustainability managers representing the following sectors (and others!) that are considering on-site solar and/or energy storage are encouraged to attend this free event:

• Industry
• Agriculture
• Commercial entities, including office parks and shopping centers
• Schools and higher ed. campuses
• Healthcare facilities
• Warehouses and distribution centers
• Multifamily housing and hotels

As a Bonus…
All registrants have the option to receive a quick analysis of their site’s on-site solar potential - receiving a letter grade raking the solar potential at each address provided. Assessments are done by Station A - a solar RFP organizer, not a solar installer.
