  • American Solar Energy Society: The American Solar Energy Society is a national membership organization whose mission is to attain a sustainable U.S. energy economy. ASES strives to accelerate the development and use of solar and other renewable energy resources through advocacy, education, research and collaboration among professionals, policy-makers and the public.
  • WillYouJoinUs.com: Energy will be one of the defining issues of this century. One thing is clear: the era of easy oil is over. So let the discussion begin. How will we meet the energy needs of the entire world in this century and beyond?
    Here’s where you can learn more about the broader issues; voice your opinion on the current topic; and take part in a discussion today that could help shape the world’s energy needs for tomorrow.
  • World Energy Society: Some issues are daily fare in the newspapers, but solar energy, in its various forms, is not among them. From time to time in the past fifty years it has made the news, but usually in conjunction with an energy or environmental crisis. That was the case during the first oil shock, in 1973, and it is so today too, now that the public has become concerned about global warming and climate change. But even when the papers do talk about solar energy, they find it hard to treat it in a reasonably complete way. Like so many other topical subjects, solar energy is a complex matter, but usually the amount of space it receives in the media is only enough for a summary description. Nonetheless, some statistical projections remain in people’s minds. One that is often cited – e.g., in a report by Shell Renewables, a division of one of the world’s largest oil companies – is that by the year 2050, one half of the energy used worldwide will come from solar and other renewable sources.
  • DSIRE: DSIRE (Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy)is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility, and federal incentives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.
  • The Solar Energy Industries Association: (SEIA) is the national trade association of solar energy manufacturers, dealers, distributors, contractors, installers, architects, consultants, and marketers. We work to expand the use of solar technologies in the global marketplace.
