There’s been a lot of exciting action on solar energy in Minnesota in 2013. To keep the momentum going, we’d like to invite you to save the date for Solar Powering Minnesota, a conference that will take place in Saint Paul, MN on Friday, March 7, 2014.
We have great news: Minh Le—the Program Manager of the Solar Energy Technologies Program within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the Department of Energy—has been confirmed as our keynote speaker to kick off the conference in the morning. Minh Le helps manage and balance the portfolio of research, development, demonstration, and deployment programs for the national SunShot Initiative.
Prior to his current role at DOE, Minh spent his career in industry developing technologies and scaling new technologies to high-volume manufacturing. Minh earned his SB and SM degrees from MIT where he held fellowships by the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and the Bose Foundation.
What else can you expect at Solar Powering Minnesota? The event will bring together utilities, policy makers, lenders, developers & contractors, local governments, training & workforce development professionals for networking, collaboration, and sessions on 2013 legislative outcomes, financing, incentives, utility programs, permitting, storage, and community solar gardens.
