2016 West Virginia Solar Congress

On Saturday, December 10, 2016, more than 70 solar supporters came together in Morgantown for the first West Virginia Solar Congress.

The Solar Congress brought together our state’s solar advocates, co-op members, nonprofits, policy makers, and professionals to discuss solar in West Virginia. There were morning and afternoon breakout sessions as well as a large-group discussion forum. A happy-hour reception followed. Read more about the 2016 West Virginia Solar Congress here.
