More than 80 attendees discussed ways to increase the numbers of solar photovoltaic panels for various types of households, examples of large solar arrays on public and conserved lands, and how New York State supports these efforts. Presented in collaboration with Mohonk Preserve.
Participants explored pathways for expanding the use of solar energy in our communities.
