The American Solar Energy Society (ASES) is calling for participation in two significant events: the SOLAR 2025 National Solar Conference and the 2025 ASES Awards Program. Both deadlines are fast approaching—January 15, 2025. The SOLAR 2025 Conference, themed “Innovation for Universal Renewable Energy Access,” will be held in Boulder, Colorado from August 4-6, 2025. This conference, boasting a 53-year history, will spotlight cutting-edge research and innovations in the renewable energy sector. It is a vital platform for researchers, professionals, and advocates to share their work on crucial topics such as solar energy technologies, energy storage, grid flexibility, workforce development, renewable energy finance and policy, and community-based energy programs. Those interested in presenting should submit extended abstracts (250-600 words) by January 15th. Accepted abstracts will be published online before the conference, with selected contributors presenting orally or via posters. Full papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The 2025 ASES Awards Program recognizes individuals and teams making extraordinary contributions to solar and renewable energy. Eight awards will be presented, honoring achievements in technical, market, and policy innovation while acknowledging the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion. These awards include the prestigious Applied Solar Technology Award, Policy and Market Transformation Award, and the Yellott Student Scholarship, amongst others. Nominations for these awards are also due by January 15, 2025. Additionally, ASES members with at least 10 years of active participation will be considered for induction as ASES Fellows. The ASES awards and conference represent crucial opportunities to highlight innovation and leadership within the renewable energy field. The current global focus on climate change and the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions makes this year’s conference and awards program particularly relevant. Submissions for both the conference and awards can be made at ases.org/conference and ases.org/awards respectively. Questions can be directed to [email protected] The upcoming events are a critical juncture for professionals, researchers, students, and anyone passionate about renewable energy to come together, share insights, and advance the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. The emphasis on diversity and inclusion reflects a broader societal shift towards equitable access to renewable energy and acknowledges the vital role of various communities in driving this transition. Participation in these events helps solidify the movement towards a sustainable world.
