"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.
