[SPN-Discussion] Panel Event "Solar in the City: The Future of Solar in an Urban Setting"

[Kiku Loomis]

*"Solar in the City: The Future of Solar in an Urban Setting"*


Solar energy in dense urban areas presents unique challenges and
opportunities. This panel will explore how solar fits into the scheme for
"green" commercial and large residential buildings in an urban setting such
as NYC. A panel of experts will present current and planned examples of
solar in these applications. They will offer the audience an overview of
current and evolving technologies for building integrated solar and discuss
the current City, State and Federal policies related to commercial solar,
and their implications for cost and integration with the power grid.
Finally, panelists will discuss the challenges and opportunities of solar in
NYC, and the developments need to occur to increase the use of solar power
in Gotham. This is the first in a series of events that will take place in
2009.
